Hello
The power supply you have pictured does not have a 5 volt output listed on
it's label.
I had a blown power supply for my 323 some time ago. I described and

Apologies for the error in my previous email; 25 years ago is not 2005 but 2000.
I had purchased my DNS-323 around the year 2000 but I lost the original power supply during a move to another house, so in 2005 I contacted D-Link and they suggested an online vendor where I bought another P/S. As I recall, it was identical with the lost/displaced one. It was not cheap. I think I paid around $50 ($39.99 + s&h). In hindsight, I could have rigged something up but I had all my files in-there and after the move I needed to set up my home office asap, so I had no choice, I needed something fast! On the plus side it has served me well since then. Again, I can't believe I'm still using the DNS-323 a quarter of a century later 😋 (again thanks João and anyone who has contributed to Alt-F). 🫡
Now if you look closely at the picture in my previous message, you can see the pin-out for the round 4-pin connector; it provides 5 volts (probably for the mobo) and 12 volts (for the hard drives), both rated at 3 amps. As others in the group have stated earlier, the two negative (-) connectors are basically internally soldered together and this is true for both the P/S connector and the input of the box. Also, I just verified: As you look from the back (with the box in the upright position) the two bottom holes are the (common) negatives. Then if you just follow the schematic in the picture I sent, the 12V is the top left hole and the 5v is the right one. Again depending on your skill/comfort level you can always rig-up something and use a different connector. Again mine is a DNS-323 version A1.
Basically, make sure you get the voltage pins/holes right and the box will power on. Just do not accidentally put 12 V on the 5 V side, you risk frying the board. 😕
I hope this helps!
PS: Btw, did a quick search and found this on Amazon.
