Make sure your

computer is

connected to the

same network as

your LAN disk.

Do not connect

the USB and

Ethernet cables at

the same time!

To assure optimum

performance on the

network, only use

network switches

and routers.

If you buy a spare

power adapter,

make sure the

specifications are

identical with the

power adapter

supplied!

Chapter 3 - System Set Up

In LAN mode, the ‘M9-LAN’ is attached to an Ethernet switch

or router. Each user on the network can use the LAN disk and

access it using FTP or SMB.

In USB 2.0 High Speed mode, the ‘M9-LAN’ is directly attached

to a single computer via the USB port.

A few tips on how to connect your external storage enclosure:

it for the drive to cool down

•Do not expose the product to water or humid conditions

•Always check for visible damage and defects of power and

interface cables before use

•We recommend using the cables and adapter supplied with

your product
