Introduction

The Linksys EtherFast10/100 Instant GigaDrive

Congratulations on the purchase of a Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Instant Giga-

Drive. The Instant GigaDrive inserts twenty Gigabytes of storage space into

Getting Familiar with the

Instant GigaDrive

Rear Panel

All of the GigaDrive’s connections and switches are on the rear panel, as seen

below.

Power Switch The power switch is a spring-loaded soft switch

which powers on and powers off the GigaDrive.

If the GigaDrive is not powered on, pressing

the power switch will initiate the GigaDrive’s

start-up process. Pressing the power switch

while the GigaDrive is turned on will begin the

GigaDrive’s internal shut-down process. The

Instant GigaDrive must be powered-down this

way, or through its internal shutdown process.

Power InputThe power input port is where the adapter plugs

in.

Printer Port Youcan add a printer to your networkthrough

the Instant GigaDrive’s printer port.

word is lost, press and release this button. The

GigaDrive will beep once to indicate that a new

IP Address (192.168.0.2, with a Network Mask

of 255.255.255.0) has

been provided. This

function will also

clear the GigaDrive’s

passwords and rights.

UplinkButton This button toggles the

GigaDrive’s Ethernet

Connector between an Uplink setting and a

standard setting. If the GigaDrive is connected

directlyto a PCwithout a hub, then this button

should be up. If connecting to a hub or switch,

depress this button.

10/100BaseTX connectorUse this port to connect the Instant GigaDrive

to your 10BaseT or 100BaseTXhub.

100BaseTX LED indicatorThis LED will glow amber if the

10/100BaseTXconnector is using 100BaseTX.

10BaseTLED indicatorThis LED will glow green if the 10/100BaseTX

connector is using 10BaseT.

GigaDrive is working properly. It blinks during

Startup or Shutdown, and turns off after the shut-

down is completed. It will blink during asoftware

upgrade.

StatusRed. Normally off.

If this light is turned on, then there is ahardware

error. It will also be on during the power-on self

test. Once the self-test is completed, it should turn

off. It will blink during asoftware upgrade.

HD Green

Flashes when the GigaDrive’shard drive is being

accessed. Stays on during the self-test.

LAN Green

Flashes when data is transmitted or received via the

network.

Basic Installation

& Setup

The following section instructs you on how to physi-

cally connect the Instant GigaDrive to the network,

and how to conﬁgure the Instant GigaDrive for basic

operation in your Windows environment. Everything

you need to do to get your Instant GigaDrive up and

running is covered here.

This section also covers the hook-up of a printer on the GigaDrive’s printer

server port. Please note, however, that the GigaDrive will perform equally well

as a storage device with or without an attached printer. If you aren’t interested

in taking advantage of the Instant GigaDrive’s printer server function, skip any

steps that deal with printer installation. The GigaDrive’s installation process

will work ﬁne without them.

ConnectingEverythingTogetherandBootingUp

Requirements

The following conditions are required to begin the installation of the Instant

GigaDrive to your system.

•TCP/IP protocol.

•If connecting to a network, an available port on a hub or switch.

•If connecting to a PC, an installed and available Ethernet or Fast Ethernet

port.

Hardware Installation

If the above conditions are met, follow the steps below to begin the installation

of your Instant GigaDrive.

1. Connect the network cable to the Instant GigaDrive. Locate the RJ45

network cable that came packaged with your Instant GigaDrive. Plug it into

the RJ45 socket on the GigaDrive’s rear panel.

Note: If you are a

network administrator,

please follow these

Basic Installation &

Setup steps, then con-

tinue on to the Admin-

istration section which

follows. There you will

ﬁnd the full available

range of administrator

options.

Instant GigaDrive User Guide.indd 10/6/99, 8:47 AM6

2. Connect the Instant GigaDrive to your hub, switch, or PC. If you plan to

connect the GigaDrive to the network through ahub or switch, be sure that

the uplink button on the rear panel of the GigaDrive is depressed, then plug

the other end of the RJ45 cable into one of the ports on your hub or switch.

If you want to connect the GigaDrive directly to aPC, make sure that the

uplink button is in the up position, and connect the RJ45 cable directly into

the PC’s network card.

3. Connect a printer to the Instant GigaDrive. Connect astandard printer

cable to the GigaDrive’s rear-panel printer port. Connect the other end of

the cable to your printer.

4. Connect the power supply. Plug the supplied power adapter into the

GigaDrive’s power input port, located on the GigaDrive’s rear panel. Con-

nect the other end of the power adapter to apower outlet.

5. Power on. Locate the GigaDrive’s power switch on the upper left of the

GigaDrive’s rear panel. Press it once to power on the GigaDrive.

6. The GigaDrive’s self-test. Now that its power is on, the GigaDrive’s boot

process will begin. The GigaDrive will run abrief self-test (2 or 3seconds)

prior to actually booting up. During the self-test, all of the GigaDrive’s

LEDs will be illuminated or ﬂashing.

7. Booting up.When the self-test is complete, most of the LEDs will turn

off. The System LEDwill blink continuously, and the LANLEDwill blink

occassionally. This signiﬁes that the GigaDrive is in the actual process

of booting up. Boot up should take approximately 1-3minutes. It will

take longer on the ﬁrst bootup, and on any bootup following an improper

shutdown.

8. Boot upcompleted. When most of the LEDs turn off, leaving only the

System LEDilluminated (and not blinking),the GigaDrive’s boot up is

complete. If the Status LEDstays on, or if the GigaDrive repeatedly beeps,

there is ahardware problem. Consult this user guide’s Troubleshooting

section (page 29)or Appendixentry on the GigaDrive’s buzzer (page 32)

for possible solutions.
