LaCie Design By Neil Poulton manual Setup Steps, To launch LaCie Setup Assistant

Setup Steps

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. Turn on the drive by moving the power switch to the ON position. The drive will mount in My Computer (Windows) or on your desktop (Mac).

4. Before using your drive, LaCie Setup Assistant software must be launched to format your drive. It will:

• Optimize your drive according to your needs

• Copy the manual and utilities on your drive

To launch LaCie Setup Assistant:

Windows users: Double-click the LaCie drive icon in “My Computer”.

Mac users: Double-click the “LaCie Setup Assistant” icon on your desktop.

NOTE: If you do not launch LaCie Setup Assistant or if you quit LaCie Setup Assistant after the formatting has begun, your drive will not be ready to use and will require manual formatting. The user manual and utilities will not be available on your drive and will have to be downloaded from the LaCie website: www.lacie.com

NOTE: Using LaCie Setup Assistant does not prevent you from using your computer’s native disk utility program to format or partition your LaCie drive. Simply follow the Setup Assistant through completion, then use your computer’s native disk utility (Disk Management for Windows or Disk Utility for Mac) to reformat your drive.

See the user manual for more information.
