General Use Precautions

✦ Do not expose the LaCie Network
Space to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F); or to operational humidity beyond 5-80%, non-condensing, or non­operating humidity beyond 10-90%, non-condensing. Doing so may dam­age the LaCie Network Space or dis­figure its casing. Avoid placing your LaCie Network Space near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your LaCie Network Space in an en­vironment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit. Because of heat issues, LaCie recommends that users do not stack more than two LaCie disks together. When stacking two disks, environment temperature should not exceed 30°C (86°F).
Cie Network Space contains no user­serviceable 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 LaCie Network Space, as they may spill into its open­ings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire
✦ Always unplug the LaCie Network
Space 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 LaCie Network Space
near other electrical appliances such as televisions or radios. Doing so may cause interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.
✦ Do not place the LaCie Network Space
near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference
or personal injury.
✦ Make sure that the computer and
LaCie Network Space are electri­cally grounded. If the devices are not grounded, there is an increased risk of electrical shock. Power require­ments 100-240 V~, X.x A, 60-50 Hz, (Supply voltage fluctuations not exceeding ± 10% of the nominal, transient over-voltages according to over-voltage category II).
can affect the operation and stabil­ity of your LaCie Network Space. Do not place heavy objects on top of the LaCie Network Space or use ex­cessive force on it.
✦ Never use excessive force on your
LaCie Network Space. If you detect a problem, see the Troubleshooting section in this manual.

User Manual page 9

2.1. Turn the Drive On

The power supply kit is composed of two cables: one cable (A) connects to the LaCie drive; and the other cable (B) connects to a power outlet, such as a wall outlet or a surge protector.
1. Connect Cable A to the LaCie Network Space.
2. Connect Cable B to the power supply brick (C).
3. Connect Cable B to a surge protector or wall outlet.
4. Turn on the drive by moving the power switch on the back of the drive to the “on” position.
The LaCie Network Space system may take up to 30 seconds to boot up.
CAUTION: Only use the AC adapter supplied with your spe-
cific LaCie device. Do not use a power supply from another LaCie device or another manufacturer. Using any other power cable or power supply may cause damage to the device and void your warranty.
Always remove the AC adapter before transporting your LaCie drive. Failure to remove the adapter may result in damage to your drive and will void your warranty.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You may use your LaCie drive when in a
foreign country thanks to its 100-240 Volt power supply. To be able to use this feature, you may need to purchase an appro­priate adapter or cord.

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.
Now move on to step 3, section 2.3. Connect with LaCie Net-
work Assistant.
IMPORTANT INFO: Do not connect the LaCie Network
Space directly to your computer via the USB port. The USB port is intended only for connection of other USB storage devices.
Gigabit Ethernet Cables And Connectors
The Ethernet cable used to connect your LaCie Network Space to your network device looks like this:
