To Install a Drive:
1. If the 2big USB 3.0 is configured in RAID 0, turn the device
off and unplug it. If the 2big USB 3.0 is configured in RAID
1, you can leave it turned on and continue to step 2.
2. Carefully insert the drive tray into an empty drive bay. When
the drive tray is almost flush, you will feel a bit of resistance.
Press the drive tray handle firmly until the drive snaps into
place and it is in line with the back pane of the 2big USB
3.0.
3. Use the 2-in-1 tool to lock the drive lock. Turn the lock until
the grooves are vertically oriented. The drives are locked
when
both
locks are vertical.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
Data is still accessible during a RAID 1
rebuild. The 2big USB 3.0 can be disconnected from the worksta-
tion during the rebuild; only the power must be connected.Impor-
tant Info: Drive warranty will be void if you replace the defective
drive with a drive not provided by LaCie. Drives purchased from
LaCie are shipped pre-installed in drive trays with handles.
IMPORTANT INFO:
In order for rebuilding to occur in RAID 1
mode, the product must be turned on while a replacement disk
is installed.
IMPORTANT INFO:
Rebuilding a RAID 1 array can take sev-
eral hours. For example, rebuilding a 1TB RAID 1 array can take
more than three hours. LaCie does not recommend removing any
drives during a rebuild.
