Stacking Your LaCie mini

1.2 Stacking Your LaCie mini

Your LaCie mini is designed to stack under another LaCie mini or your Apple Mac mini. To allow for 
proper cooling, always stack your LaCie mini under your Apple Mac Mini or another LaCie mini. DO 
NOT turn over your drive or place your Lacie mini on top of the Apple Mac mini, as this will risk over-
heating.
