2.2.  Turn On the d2

The power supply kit is composed of two cables: one cable (

A

) con-

nects to the LaCie drive; and the other cable (

B

) connects to a power 

outlet, such as a wall outlet or a surge protector (

Fig. 06

).

1.  Connect cable 

A

 to the d2. 

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 d2 system may take up to 30 seconds to boot up.

CAUTION:

 Only use the AC adapter supplied with your specific La-

Cie 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 for-

eign 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. LaCie accepts no responsibility for any damage to the drive 
resulting from the use of an inappropriate adapter. Using an adapter 
other than one authorized by LaCie will void your warranty.

 

NOTE:

 Depending on your country, power outlet connections may 

be different from the one shown above.
