3. Installing Your LaCie Drive
Getting your LaCie drive installed and connected is very simple; essentially there are two steps: 1)
connect the power supply to the drive and to an outlet, and 2) connecting an interface cable to the drive
and to your computer.
Thanks to its support of three different interfaces and its support of both the Mac and Windows
operating system, the LaCie d2 Hard Drive gives you several different connectivity options. These steps
are divided into sections by operating system (Mac or Windows) and the type of interface cable
(FireWire 800, FireWire 400, iLink and Hi-Speed USB 2.0).
This chapter also has helpful information about connecting digital video cameras to the LaCie drive,
connecting multiple devices and special steps that need to be followed when disconnecting the drive or
switching between the different interfaces.
