Setup Steps

Note: Please follow the setup steps in the order they are given to ensure that the volume mounts correctly on your computer.

1. Connect the power supply to a grounded surge protector or wall outlet and to your LaCie Hard Disk.

2.Connect the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable to your computer and to the drive.

3. The drive will power on and mount in My Computer (Windows) or on your desktop (Mac) when steps 1 and 2 are complete*. The detailed User Manual and LaCie Storage Utilities are pre- loaded on the drive. We strongly advise that you read and copy the detailed User Manual onto your computer. If the detailed User Manual and Utilities are not accessible on the drive, they can be downloaded from www.lacie.com.

*The LaCie Hard Disk is formatted in FAT 32. If you would like to use a different ﬁ le format, you will need to reformat the hard drive. The FAT 32 ﬁ le format allows you to access data on any operating system (Windows or Mac), and is ideal for cross-platform use. The NTFS format for Windows users will allow you to store ﬁ les larger than 4GB, to format partitions larger than 32GB or to optimize perfor- mance under Windows 2000/XP/Vista. To optimize performance, Mac users should format in HFS+. Refer to the User Manual for more details.
