Hard Drive Maintenance
Precau ons
“Hot-swapping” means that you can remove and replace hard drives while the enclosure is powered on.
During operation, the hard drives should remain in their slots for optimal air flow. Airflow and fan
performance are regulated by temperature.
Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling hard drives.
Replacing a hard drive
If a failed hard drive is under warranty, make certain to contact LaCie support to receive a replacement disk.
It’s not necessary to power down the device to replace a single hard drive.
1. Locate the hard drive you want to replace and place your index finger on the small hole on the right side
of its disk tray.
2. Gently pull your index finger away from the enclosure and maintain a firm grip as it unlocks the hard drive
from the SATA connector. Once it is loose, hold the hard drive with both hands as you remove it from
the slot.
