NOTE: The LaCie box is uniquely produced to accommodate SATA 3.5” hard disk drives. No
other drives save for SATA 3.5” hard disk drives are compatible with the LaCie box. Please
note that, due to the numerous manufacturers of SATA 3.5” hard disk drives, LaCie cannot
guarantee that every model will work with the LaCie box.
NOTE: If you are replacing a drive, take care to make certain that it has cooled before
touching it.
NOTE: When installing your SATA 3.5” hard disk drive, please do not depress, push, or
disrupt the front LED circuit board or the circuit board in the rear of the bottom plate.
Doing so may affect the performance of the drive as well as void the warranty.
Setup Steps
I) Install an internal hard disk drive.
1. Make certain the power and USB 2.0 cables are disconnected from the LaCie box.
2. Turn the box over so that the rubber feet are pointing
up. Please note the two plastic bands for prying the
bottom plate from the top shell.
3. Open the casing by taking one plastic band in each
hand, between the thumb and index finger, and pull gently
until the bottom plate and the top shell have come apart.
4. Turn the enclosure
over, onto its rubber feet.
Remove the top shell and
safely place it within reach.
5. Gently slide the 3.5” SATA drive, label facing
up, onto the bottom plate until the SATA connector
plugs into the box’s internal SATA port. You will
feel the connection rather than hearing an audible
signification.
6. Secure the disk drive in the casing by inserting the four screws
(included).
7. Replace the casing by aligning the rear ports
with their respective slots, and then gently press
down on the front until you hear an audible
“click”, indicating closure.
NOTE: LaCie does not recommend removing the two bands on the face of the drive. In such an
event, please take great care when separating the top shell from the bottom plate. Should the
need arise, you may gently pull back the plastic face exactly where it joins to the bottom plate in
the front; then, gently pry the top away. LaCie is not responsible for any damage or loss of drive
performance caused by separating the top and bottom of the box in such a manner.
II) Connect the drive to your computer.
1. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet and connect the power cable to the hard
disk enclosure.
2. Connect the USB interface cable from the box to your computer.
3. Turn on the drive by moving the power switch on the back to the ON position. After a few
seconds, the volume will mount on your computer and appear in My Computer (Windows
users) or on your desktop (Mac users).
