User’s Manual
1. Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaCie Ethernet Disk mini! By simply plugging
the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini into your Ethernet-based network, you can easily
share documents, data or multi-media files.
Connect the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini either directly to a computer via USB,
or share the drive over your network through the Ethernet connection. When
connected through USB, the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini performs like a
standard external hard drive, but you can also still modify and configure the
network settings, as well. When connected to a network, the LaCie Ethernet
Disk mini becomes a Network Attached Storage device, capable of
supporting an unlimited number of users connecting simultaneously.
You can easily manage the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini through the Internet with
the Web Administration tool – create users, assign access rights and
passwords and configure the network parameters of your drive.
1.1. What Your LaCie Ethernet Disk mini Can Do
• Backup data in a separate location, away from the source
• Easily shuttle files and folders from the home and office
• Share files between Mac, Windows and Linux clients
