Connect Drobo FS to your network
Ethernet
Your Drobo FS connects to a network using an Ethernet port. Use the
Ethernet connection on the back of the Drobo FS to connect to a router
or switch. Use the Ethernet cable included with the original Drobo FS.
Note: Drobo FS supports a gigabit (1000 Mbit/s) connection. It will auto-
negotiate the highest connection speed available to the router or switch. You
will not get optimal performance if you are using a slower connection (10/100
Mbit/s).
Connect power
Once you have connected Drobo FS to your network, the next step is to
connect it to an AC power source. Simply connect the power cord to the
back of the Drobo FS and to your power source. Then press the toggle
power button on the back of the unit to turn your Drobo FS on.
