User’s Manual

Health And Safety Precautions

Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.

• Read this User's Guide carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.

• Do not open your hard drive or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Never insert any metallic object into the drive to avoid

any risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your hard drive contains no user-serviceable parts. If

it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified LaCie Technical Support representative.

• Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing

liquids on the drive, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or

personal injury.

General Use Precautions:

• Do not expose the hard drive to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F) in operating mode. Doing

so may damage the drive or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight

(even through a window). Inversely, placing your drive in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.

• Always unplug the hard drive from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be unused for an extended

period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.

• Use only the power supply shipped with the device.

• Do not use the hard drive near other electrical appliances such as televisions, radios or speakers. Doing so may cause

interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.

• Do not place the drive near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions or speakers. Magnetic

interference can affect the operation and stability of your hard drive.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on it.

• Never use excessive force on your drive. If you detect a problem, consult the Troubleshooting section in this manual.

• Protect your hard drive from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside the device,

increasing the risk of damage or malfunction.

• Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of the drive. Such products will

disfigure and discolor the casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.

Caution!

The drive's warranty may be void as a result of the failure to respect the precautions listed above.

1. Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of your new LaCie d2 SATA II 3Gbits. Based on the

revolutionary new Serial ATA technology, these hard drives feature the latest

technological advancements in interface connectivity and have the bandwidth to

handle both the most demanding applications and environments.

The LaCie d2 SATA II 3Gbits was built for performance, and integrates easily into

systems that require high data transfer speeds to serve up files quickly and efficiently,

maximizing your storage system utilization and enhancing your productivity. These

drives are hot-pluggable and, due to their support of the Serial ATA II specification,

offer serious advantages in terms of reliability, scalability, interoperability and data

integrity.

Being constructed from aluminum alloys, the LaCie d2 Hard Drive actively works to

conduct heat away from the drive. Engineered to fit seamlessly in to any work

environment, the LaCie d2 Hard Drive can be stood vertically on the LaCie Drive

Stand (included), placed in the LaCie Desk Rack (sold separately) or incorporated into

standard 19” computer equipment racks with the LaCie Rackmount Kit (sold

separately). 1.1. What Your LaCie Drive Can Do

• Store and archive your important files and data

• Act as a boot-up disk* under both Windows and Mac OS

• Integrate into RAID 0/1 arrays

• Backup one or more workstations

Tech Note:

To take advantage of the bootable feature, the LaCie d2 SATA II 3Gbits Hard Drive must be formatted

as a bootable drive in accordance with the operating system being used. The computer must also include a BIOS

or a Serial ATA PCI card, such as the LaCie SATA PCI Card, that supports bootable functionality with an external

hard drive.

1.2 Hard Drive Heat Management

Heat Dissipation Design

The LaCie d2 drive’s metal body is ideal for naturally dissipating internal drive heat. Its unique design actually draws heat

away from the internal drive toward the external casing. The casing absorbs heat and will take advantage of its large surface

to further dissipate heat outside the casing. Because of this advantageous feature, heat is taken away from the internal drive,

keeping it safe and prolonging its life and reliability. As a consequence, it is normal that the external casing is hot to the

touch. Please make sure that the vents of the back-bezel and front-bezel are not obstructed so that there is a natural airflow

across the casing.

To Fan or Not to Fan

The casing alone is a great way to dissipate heat without the need of a fan. Therefore, at the date of this publication, most

drives (1 to 3 internal platters*) do not require a fan. Only the largest capacity drives (3 to 5 internal platters*) may need a

fan. To find out if your drive includes a fan, please refer to the item number and product datasheet.

Drives Equipped with a Fan

If your LaCie d2 is equipped with a “smart fan,” it will only start when the heat inside the casing reaches a certain tempera-

ture. Then the smart fan starts to turn at a low and very quiet speed. In exceptionally hot conditions (summer heat, stacked

configuration, etc.) the fan will detect heat and turn to a second, faster speed. Once the heat inside the casing decreases, the

smart fan automatically slows down or stops, allowing for the quietest working environment.

*Indicative information - may vary depending on the internal drive models, manufacturers and technology evolutions.

1. Introduction

page 9

LaCie d2 SATA II 3Gbits

User’s Manual

Upright, Stack & Rackmount Configuration

Heat dissipation is maximized when the drive is in the upright position (1). If you have several LaCie drives stacked on each

other, please remember to attach the included rubber feet on the under side of your drives (2). This will allow for some air-

flow between your drives so that the heat dissipation can work effectively - especially if your LaCie drive does not include a

fan. LaCie does not recommend stacking or racking more than 3 x d2 drives, 2 x Big Disks or 2 x Bigger Disks on top of

each other(3) and (4), especially if these drives are turned ON at the same time.
