5.3. Replacing Drives

In the event that an individual hard disk fails in
the LaCie 2big, please contact your LaCie reseller or
LaCie Customer Support. Please replace a defec-
tive hard drive only with a new drive provided by
LaCie. Replacing a drive involves two main steps, in-
stalling the new drive (section 5.3.1) and initializing
the new disk on the NAS administration page (section
5.3.2).
CAUTION: After continuous use of the LaCie 2big,
drives may be hot. Use caution when removing.
What happens when a new disk is inserted:
SAFE mode – Data are still available. When a new
❖
disk is inserted there is an automatic data rebuild to
the new disk.
BIG mode – If a drive fails, all data are lost. When a
❖
new disk is inserted, both disks are reformatted.

To remove a drive:
1. Turn off and unplug the LaCie 2big.
2. The drive tray may be locked. To unlock it, insert a
coin into the slot on the drive lock and turn the lock
until the slot is vertical (Fig. 5.3.1-A).
3. Draw out the drive tray by inserting your finger into
the space behind the drive tray handle and pulling to
disengage the drive (Fig. 5.3.1-B).
4. Grasp the drive tray handle and carefully extract the
drive (Fig. 5.3.1-C).
To install a drive:
1. Turn off and unplug the LaCie 2big.
2. Carefully insert the drive tray into an empty drive
bay. When the drive tray is most of the way in and

until you feel the drive snap into place and the drive
tray handle is flush with the back of the 2big.
3. Use a coin to lock the drive lock.
