6.1.1. Fastening a non-LaCie Hard Disk to
a 5big Enclosure Drive Tray
IMPORTANT INFO:
Drives sold by LaCie are the preferred choice
when using your 5big Backup Server. LaCie disks specially prepared
for the 5big enclosure are tested and shipped in a drive tray for
easy installation. Additionally, all 5big hard drives include a 3-year
warranty. Visit
www.lacie.com
for more information on purchasing
a 5big disk drive.
Please note the following before fastening your non-LaCie hard
drive to the drive tray:
✦
Only 3.5” SATA II drives may be used in the 5big enclosure.
Please visit the Support page at
www.lacie.com
for a list of
drives that have been tested by LaCie. LaCie cannot guaran-
tee performance or compatibility with the 5big Backup Server
when using drives that have not been tested by LaCie.
✦
Windows Home Server cannot add more than 2TB of a single
disk to its pool of Storage Hard Drives. For example, if you
add a 3TB non-LaCie drive into the pool of Storage Hard
Drives, Windows Home Server will only use 2TB of its capacity.
The remaining storage will be placed in the System as unavail-
able.
✦
Use only the screws supplied in your packaging when fasten-
ing the non-LaCie hard drive to the drive tray (
Fig. 68
)
✦
To avoid potential problems caused by electrostatic discharge
(ESD), it is recommended that you do not touch the hard
drive’s printed circuit board (
Fig. 69 - To prevent ESD, avoid
touching the hard drive printed circuit board
). As a further pre-
caution against ESD, please use an anti-static wristband or
an anti-static mat to ground yourself when handling the hard
drive.
