2.3 Attaching the Drive Stand
You can use your LaCie drive in its upright position after installing
the drive stand.
1) Using the hex key (provided with the drive stand kit), loosen the
two screws on the bottom of the foot plate (do not remove the
screws) to create a degree of separation between the foot plate
and the two rails.
2) From the rear of the drive, separate the two rails and slide the
larger stand rail into the side groove of your LaCie drive
as shown.
3) Slide the stand forward until its rail touches the front of the drive.
4) Tighten the two socket screws from the underside of the stand, using

2.4 FireWire Cables and Connectors
FireWire Cables
There are three types of FireWire cables on the market: 6-to-4-pin, 6-to-6-pin
and 4-to-4-pin. LaCie FireWire peripherals are supplied with a 6-to-6 pin
FireWire cable. Most FireWire-equipped laptop computers feature 4-pin
FireWire connectors, so to connect your LaCie drive to a laptop, you will need
to purchase a 4-to-6-pin cable.
Important Note:
If the cable supplied with the LaCie drive does not meet your requirements, please contact your
computer supply specialist.
