Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys by Cisco Media Hub.
One Serial-ATA (SATA) hard disk is pre-installed, and a
second SATA hard drive bay is available if you want to add
more storage space. Use the USB ports to add USB hard
drives or connect USB flash drives to access your portable
files. (USB hard drives may require external power
supplies.) The Media Hub with LCD (NMH400 Series) offers
additional features, a LCD screen with navigation pad and
memory card slots.
The front panel features vary for the NMH400 and NMH300
Series. The back panel and top panel features are the same
for both series.

(this may take more than three seconds). A
complete shutdown may take 10-15 seconds.
The Power LED flashes blue when the Media Hub
boots up, installs a disk, or shuts down. It is solidly
lit blue when the Media Hub is ready for use. The
LED flashes either blue or red when there is an
error. (Refer to Appendix A: Troubleshooting,
page 44.)

down for a long period of time, Linksys
recommends that you disconnect the
power adapter from the Media Hub.
