1.8. Removing and Installing Disks
NOTE: In the event that an individual hard disk fails in the LaCie 5big Storage Server, contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer Support for technical assistance. If the problem drive was purchased from LaCie and it is within the warranty period, please replace it with a hard drive provided by LaCie. LaCie will not replace a non- LaCie hard drive or any hard drive not purchased from LaCie.
•If you are replacing a disk, make certain to choose the slot with the problem drive.
•If you are adding a new drive to an empty slot, consider a LaCie 5big Drive. LaCie 5big Drives are specially prepared and optimized for use with the 5big
Storage Server. Please go to www.lacie.com for further information on new LaCie 5big Drives.
•LaCie recommends selecting drives that are equal in storage capacity with RAID 5 configurations. For example, fill all empty slots with 1 TB drives if the first drive is 1 TB. See the Technical Brief on RAID for further information.
•If you are installing
Storage Server, please go to www.lacie.com to see the list of supported hard drives. LaCie cannot guarantee performance or functionality when using unsupported drives.
•When adding a new drive, choose a drive tray that does not hold a drive. LaCie recommends inserting new drives in the order of the numbered slots, from left to right. For example, if the first slot on the left (Slot
1) contains the sole drive in the enclosure, choose the second slot from the left (Slot 2) for the next drive. See
