2.3. Disconnecting Your LaCie LaCinema Classic
External USB devices feature “plug & play” connectivity, which
means that your drive can be connected and disconnected while
the computer is running. To prevent failures, however, it is im-
portant to follow these steps when disconnecting your LaCie
hard drive.
Windows Users
1. From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand
side of your screen), click the Eject icon (a small green
arrow over a hardware image).
2. A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject
icon controls (it should say, “Safely remove...”). Click
on the LaCie hard drive in this prompt.
3. This message will appear: “Safe to Remove Hard-
ware” (or similar). It is now safe to disconnect the
device.
Mac Users
1. Drag the LaCinema Classic drive icon to the trash.
(The icon pictured below is a generic USB device icon.
Your drive may be represented by an icon that looks
like the drive itself.)
2. When the icon disappears from the desktop, the drive
can be disconnected.
