1. Introduction to the LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive. By simply connecting
the LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive to your computer and
walking through a quick and easy software setup, you
can ensure that your data is secure from unauthorized
users.
e LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive performs just like a
standard external hard drive, but keeps your data secure
with a technology known as biometry. is emerging
field is devoted to individual identification using biological traits such as fingerprints or voice recognition.
Fingerprint scanning, which is the technology used by
the d2 SAFE Hard Drive, is the most common biometric system used today. is technology allows you to lock
and unlock your drive.
Introduction
page 6
You can easily manage the fingerprint recognition
system through LaCie's SAFE User Administration.
A software wizard guides you step-by-step through the
installation process.
Made of a metal alloy that dissipates heat and prolongs drive performance, the LaCie d2 SAFE Hard
Drive features a slender, sturdy body that can stand upright on your desk, be rack-mounted, or stacked to save
desktop space.

Up to 500 GB of storage means you can store all
❖
of your important data securely

SAFE Three Levels of Security
Level 1: Biometric Access

national security systems and/or information can be
reviewed and certified by NSA prior to their acquisition and use.
Level 3: Chain Lock Port (Optional)
■
e d2 SAFE Hard Drive is equipped with a
chain lock port, which allows you to secure your LaCie d2 SAFE Hard drive to a permanent fixture (table, computer, etc.) via a chain lock (sold separately).

User Manual
1.1. Hard Drive Heat Management
Heat Dissipation Design■
e LaCie d2 SAFE Hard 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. e 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.
Introduction
page 7
Fig. 1.1.A.
Upright & Stack Configurations■
Heat dissipation is maximized when the drive is in
the upright position (Fig. 1.1.B.). If you have several LaCie drives stacked on each other, please remember to
attach the included rubber feet on the underside of your
drives. is will allow for some airflow between drives
so heat can be dissipated effectively - especially if your
LaCie drives do not include a fan. LaCie does not recommend stacking or racking more than 3 d2 drives on
top of each other (Fig. 1.1.C.), especially if these drives
are turned ON simultaneously.
Smart Fan Technology■
e casing alone provides heat dissipation without
the need of a fan. erefore, currently, most drives do
not require a fan. Only the largest capacity drives may
need a fan. To find out if your drive includes a fan, please
refer to the item number and product datasheet.
Some models of the d2 SAFE Hard Drive have a
thermo-regulated “smart fan”, which activates when the
heat inside the casing reaches a certain temperature.
e smart fan operates at two different speeds, and adjusts automatically to changes in temperature.
Fig. 1.1.B. Fig. 1.1.C.
ImpOrTANT INfO: Stacking d2 SAFE
drives horizontally may make it difficult for users
to access the biometric sensor or cause the sensor
to read fingerprints incorrectly. LaCie recommends that you register fingerprints with the
drives in the same position and orientation in
which they will be used.

3. Before Installing Your LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive
e LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive has extra data
security features not found on standard external hard
drives, so you should take a minute to familiarize yourself with these items before you get started:

3.2. Being an Administrator Page 16
3.3. About Authorized Users and Rights Page 16
3.4. Rules for Registering Users Page 16
page 15
3.1. How to Use the Fingerprint Sensor
To use the fingerprint sensor, first make sure that the
front of the drive is facing you. Next, place your finger so
that it is flat and resting entirely on the sensor surface so
that it touches the metal plate around the sensor itself.
e tip of your finger should touch the top edge of the
metal groove (the rounded end). Now slide your finger
down slowly over the sensor (Fig. 3.1).
If you have trouble getting the sensor to recognize
your fingerprint, adjust your technique according to the
error reported by the sensor dialog and refer to chapter
11.2. Troubleshooting the Fingerprint Sensor, if you are
still having trouble.

3.2. Being An Administrator
Before Installing Your LaCie d2 SAFE Drive
page 16
e Administrator has complete control over who
can use the drive and what data access rights they have.
e Administrator can:
Access the User Administration to add or remove users
❖
Assign Read Only, Read/Write, or Administration
❖
privileges to users
Change a user’s profile
❖
Change an administrator
❖
For more on Administrator privileges, see chapter
6.2. Using the Drive as an Administrator.
3.3. About Authorized Users And Rights
e Administrator can register fingerprints for up to
four additional users. When registering users, the Administrator can opt to give them Read Only privileges,
Read/Write privileges, or Administration privileges.
Read Only privileges allow a user to read data stored
on the drive but not to write new data to the drive. is
user cannot modify data or remove files.
ImpOrTANT INfO: e first person to use
the drive becomes an Administrator by default.
Any user can be given Administrative privileges.
ImpOrTANT INfO: You can register more
fingerprints per user as long as you don’t exceed
a maximum of 10 fingerprints total for all users.
So, for example, you could register 2 fingerprints
each for 5 users (including the Administrator) or
10 fingerprints for 1 user or any other combination
in between. See section 3.4, below for more info.
Read/Write privileges allow a user to both read data
stored on the drive as well as write new data to it.
Administration privileges allow a user complete
control over who else can use the drive and what data
access rights they have. For more on Administrative
privileges, see chapter 6.2. Using the Drive as an Ad-
ministrator.
3.4. Rules For Registering Users
e LaCie d2 SAFE drive can save up to 10 fingerprints. e first user registered on the drive is an admnistrator by default. is user must register two fingerprints. After the setup process, one of these fingerprints
can be removed, allowing nine other users to register
one fingerprint each.
LaCie highly recommends that each user register
two fingerprints in case one finger is injured and must
be bandaged.

TeChNICAl NOTe: If you plan to use your
drive in a cross-platform (Mac/Windows) environment, consider reformatting the drive to the
MS-DOS (also known as FAT 32) File System
format. See chapter 7. Formatting Your d2 SAFE
for more details.
CAUTION: Your LaCie d2 SAFE relies on
its aluminum alloy casing to help dissipate heat.
Make sure to place your drive in a well-ventilated
space, do not block the ventilation outlet on the
back of the drive and keep the area in front of the
drive unobstructed to allow for proper airflow.
