LaCie Hard Drive 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 liq-

uids 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 45° C (41° F to 104° F). 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 win-

dow). 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 inter-

ference 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, increas-

ing 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.

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

Manual Updates

LaCie is constantly striving to give you the most up-to-date, comprehensive User’s Manuals available on the market. It is our

goal to provide you with a friendly, easy-to-use format that will help you quickly install and utilize the many functions of your

new device.

1.2. What Is FireWire?

FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394, is a high-speed serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a

computer or to each other, and FireWire 800 is the implementation of the new IEEE 1394b standard. Pushing the speed bar-

rier to new limits, FireWire 800 offers increased bandwidth and extended cabling distance between devices. FireWire 800 is

ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications, such as audio, video and graphics. Benefits of FireWire 800 include:

• Resourceful architecture: FireWire 800 reduces delays in arbitration and signal distortion, and increases throughput.

• Hot-pluggable: devices can be added and removed while the bus is active.

• Backwards compatibility: adapter cables allow FireWire 400 devices to operate under the FireWire 800 port.

• Isochronous data delivery: no dropped frames – FireWire 800 supports real-time data delivery.

• Flexible: up to 63 devices can be connected on a single bus.

Please see Appendix 1 – FireWire Questions And Answers for a more detailed discussion of FireWire’s uses and capabilities.

FireWire Icons

Theses icons will help you easily identify the FireWire interface. They appear on FireWire cables, and next to the FireWire

port connectors on certain computers.

FireWire icon iLink icon

DV icon

1.3. What Is USB 2.0?

The new USB 2.0 standard provides higher bandwidth for high-speed peripherals such as external hard drives, high-speed

scanners, CD-RW and DVD drives. USB 2.0 delivers transfer rates of 480Mb/s, while conveniently maintaining backward

compatibility with USB 1.1 devices.

d2HDFW800_UG_030311_4.0 3/12/03 2:02 PM Page 7

Introduction

page 8

LaCie Hard Drive User’s Manual

USB 2.0 can still be used to connect lower-speed USB 1.1 ports and devices like digital cameras, scanners, modems, key-

boards, mice, joysticks and printers. In the USB 2.0 system, existing USB peripherals do not have to be upgraded, and lower-

speed devices will not require additional performance, instead operating as USB 1.1 devices.

Please see Appendix 2 – USB Questions And Answers for a more detailed discussion of USB’s uses and capabilities.

USB Icons

These icons will help you easily identify the USB interfaces. They appear on USB cables and next to the USB port connectors

on certain computers.
