Section 5 - Knowledge Base Knowledge Base What is RAID? RAID, short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a combination of two or more disks with the aim of providing fault tolerance and performance improvement. There are several different levels of RAID, with each one providing a different method of sharing or distributing data amongst the drives. The DNS-320L supports Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, and RAID 1. Standard Standard provides a single volume for each drive.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base RAID 0 RAID 0 provides data striping, which spreads out blocks of data over all the drives, but does not provide data redundancy. Although performance is improved, the lack of fault tolerance means that if one drive fails, all data in the array will be lost. D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320L User Manual RAID 1 RAID 1 provides mirroring over multiple disks, with the same read/write speed of a single disk. A RAID 1 array can only be as large as it’s smallest member disk.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base RAID Options Here is a list of the RAID options available on the ShareCenter DNS-320L Standard RAID - creates a single volume for one drive or more drives. JBOD - allows you to create a large virtual disk drive by concatenating two or more smaller drives together. The individual hard drives that makes up a JBOD RAID can be different sizes and manufacturers. The total size of the JBOD RAID is the combined total of all the individual drives in the set.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base RAID 1 - allows you to assign two disks as a mirrored set. Once you create the mirrored set, you will see it as a single disk drive. But when you write data to the mirrored set, it will duplicate the data across all members of the set. This ensures that your data is protected against loss if any hard drive in the RAID 1 set fails. In fact, as long as any single member of the set remains functional, you will continue to operate normally, with complete access to your data.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base UPS Connectivity The DNS-320L supports USB UPS, giving users the ability to share the UPS on their local network and protect from an abnormal shutdown due to a power failure.

Section 5 - Knowledge Base Click Management. Click System Management and then USB Devices. Click the blue arrow next to UPS Settings. There are two modes - Standalone and Master. Select Standalone to use the UPS only on the DNS-320L or select Master to share the UPS with the network UPS slaves. The UPS Status screen shows the mode, manufacturer, product type, battery charge meter, and status.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base Under Mode, select Master from the drop-down list and then click Add. Enter the IP address of the other UPS slave on the network. Click the + button to add more IP addresses. Make sure the DNS-320L and the UPS slaves are on the same physical network.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base Once you have entered an IP address, the system will check its database for IP address records. The UPS Settings table will display the IP address(es) you added. Your DNS-320L is now setup as the network master to notify the network slaves about critical power status.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base Deleting a UPS Slave Under Management > System Management > USB Devices > UPS Setting, select the IP address. Your selection will turn red. Click Delete. The DNS-320L will process your request.
