1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a LaCie Network Space, Design by Neil Poulton. Designed to satisfy the data sharing and backup needs of home users, the LaCie Network Space sets up quickly and has easy-to-use browser-based administration.

Sharp Design

The clean lines, glossy black finish and cool blue glow of the LaCie Network Space are equally at home in the office or nestled in with an entertainment center. The USB expansion port is located in the front for easy access and cooling vents on the underside ensure long-lasting reliability and quiet operation.

Media Server

As soon as it is connected to your network, your LaCie Network Space can share your media files with compatible UPnP AV devices, includ- ing computers using iTunes. Just drag media files into the openshare folder and enjoy your media on your network.

Easy Access & Administration

The new user-friendly LaCie Network Assistant (included) makes setup simple and enables you to access and configure the LaCie Network Space or other LaCie drives on your network. The LaCie Network Space is compatible with Mac®, Windows® and Linux machines, making it easy for anyone on the network to connect. Browser-based administration pages are straight-forward and easy to understand.
