Heat dissipation is maximized when the d2 Quadra is in the upright position. When stacking LaCie d2 Quadras, please remember to attach the included rubber feet on the under side of your drives.

LaCie does not recommend stack- ing or racking more than three d2 drives on top of each other, especially if these drives are turned on simultaneously.
