2.3. Disconnecting Your LaCinema
Rugged HD
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 important to
follow these steps when disconnecting your LaCie hard drive.
2.3.1. Windows Users
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) (
Fig. 09
).
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.
This message will appear: “Safe to Remove Hardware” (or similar).
It is now safe to disconnect the device.
2.3.2. Mac Users
Drag the LaCinema Rugged drive icon to the trash (
Fig. 10
). (The
icon pictured below is a generic USB device icon. Your drive may be
represented by an icon that looks like the drive itself.)
When the icon disappears from the desktop, the drive can be dis-
connected.
