3.4. Removing and Installing Drives

In the event that an individual hard disk fails in the LaCie 2big, please contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer Support. Please replace a defec- tive hard drive only with a new drive provided by LaCie. For drive removal and replacement process, please follow the steps below.

Important Info: Drive warranty will be void if you replace the defective drive with a drive not provided by LaCie. Drives purchased from LaCie are shipped pre-installed in drive trays with handles.

CAUTION: After continuous use of the LaCie 2big, drives may be hot. Use caution when removing.

To Remove a Drive:

1.	Turn off and unplug the LaCie 2big.
2.	The drive tray may be locked. To unlock it, insert the
	round end of the provided 2-in-1 tool into the slot
	on the drive lock and turn the lock until the slot is
	vertical (Fig. 3.4-A).

3.Draw out the drive tray by inserting your finger into the space behind the drive tray handle and pulling to disengage the drive (Fig. 3.4-B).

4.Grasp the drive tray handle and carefully extract the drive (Fig. 3.4-C).

5.Turn the drive on to continue using the remaining drive.

To Install a Drive:

1.Turn off and unplug the LaCie 2big.

2.Carefully insert the drive tray into an empty drive bay. When the drive tray is most of the way in and you feel resistance, press the drive tray handle firmly until you feel the drive snap into place and the drive tray handle is flush with the back of the 2big.

3.Use the 2-in-1 tool to lock the drive lock. Turn the locks until the grooves are oriented vertically. The drives are locked when both locks are vertical.

technical note: Data are still accessible during a RAID 1 rebuild. The 2big can be disconnected from the workstation during the rebuild; only the power must be connected.
