Welcome.
Sorry that I write in this section of the DNS-315 but there is no division intended for this model.

The problem is that I can not initiate this NAS.
The mounted drive is a Samsung HD103SJ. After turning the LED work [white flash, orange lights]. But in the "Select a device" in the Setup Wizard appears on my device but the icon is "fading". When you click on it flashing orange LED. After clicking "NEXT" I get this message: "Program stopped working".
The disk is not detected by the "Storage Utility". Ping the IP address ends with 100% loss.
Router and the network is correct.

Please help.
And I apologize for my English.

have you used this DNS-315 before with another HDD or is this a brand new unit?

While the DNS-315 is powered-up, press and hold the reset button on the rear of the unit for 8 seconds. This process will reset the DNS-315 to the factory default settings.  If you still can't format the HDD after trying this approach, you can also try mounting the HDD in a PC to delete any existing partitions prior to mounting in the DNS-315 again.  The DNS-315 formats HDDs using the Linux filesystem, so anything Windows does to the HDD will purge any formatting the DNS-315 may have done to the HDD.

You may also want to try mounting a different brand/model HDD as a test.

Any update on this issue?

Hello,
Did you try using the latest Setupwizard which fixes ( at least for me ) the app crash ?
It can be found here :

Hi,
same problem here.
I got a new DNS-315 and two new Western Digital.
I tried with Setupwizard v. 1.0.0.5, 1.0.0.7, 1.0.0.8, 1.0.0.9 without luck.

Version 1.0.0.11 linked above solved my issue.

Ciao

Hi i am having sort of the same problem,

i have been using the DNS-315 for a while with a 2TB green HDD, as soon as the hdd was full i have replaced it with a 3TB WD RED (HDD is mentioned in the compatibility list) i have initialised the HDD and formatted it as GPT.

a few seconds after that the DNS-315 is switched on the white led starts flashing and the i have an orange LED steady on. when i run the repair utility from the DNS software the utility runs ok for almost all the process during which i can see the orange LED turn to white but at the end of the procedure i get an error message that the DNS has stopped responding.

Please help!

Did you let the DNS-315 format the HDD or did you format the HDD externally using a PC or other device?

thanks for your reply

I have formatted the drive on a windows 8pro PC using the command prompt console.

That's probably the root cause of your issue.  The ShareCenter series formats HDDs using the Linux filesystem. Even if you formated the HDDs using a Linux PC, there is no guarantee they will work properly in the DNS-315.  

Mount the HDDs in Windows and remove any existing partitions, then place the HDDs in the DNS-315 and power-up the unit. Let the DNS-315 format the HDDs internally using the ShareCenter's native on-board software.

What was your final solution to fixing the issue?

[FSM]

I have done the following:

Connected the HDD with a SATA to USB converter to a windows 8 pro PC
removed the high level format via the diskpart utility by doing the following:

Click Search
Type run
A windows pops up type "diskpart" and press enter
A command prompt window opens
Type "list disk", this will list all the drives attached to the PC
Select the disk you want to modify by typing "select disk 7" (disk 7 is only used as example could be any number)
After you typed that command followed by enter the system prompts  Disk 7 is now the selected disk
Type in "clean"

and that's that.

i have re-attached the drive in the Nas drive and run the NAS software which i have downloaded from this link: ftp://ftp.dlink.fr/DNS/DNS-315/Applications/

the software and nas drive worked perfectly.
