2.2. Connect the Ethernet Cable
Unlike regular desktop hard drives, the LaCie Network Space is only accessible when attached to your network with the Ethernet cable and does not connect directly to your computer with a USB cable.
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1.Turn the drive on. See 2.1. Turn the Drive On.
2.Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back
of the LaCie Network Space.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into an available Ethernet “out” port on your router or hub (refer to your router or hub’s documentation if necessary). Allow a few moments for your network to recognize the drive.
