Step 5: Install NAS OS
Note: The steps below should be completed by the NAS's administrator.
Perform the steps below on a PC/Mac connected to the same network as your LaCie 5big. During this process,
the hard disks you have inserted into the 5big NAS Pro will be formatted and all data deleted.
1. Launch your preferred internet browser and type the default address for the LaCie NAS:
Windows without Bonjour - http://lacie-5big-pro
Mac OS X and Windows workstations running Bonjour - http://lacie-5big-pro.local.
If you cannot reach the setup wizard using the name of the device, connect a VGA monitor to the VGA port
located on the back of the 5big NAS Pro. Following the initial boot process, the system shows the MAC and
IP addresses.
If the monitor is receiving a signal but the image is black, try connecting a USB keyboard to one of the USB
ports on the back of the device. The system may have reverted to energy conservation mode which you
can exit by striking one of the keys on the USB keyboard.
2. Enter one of the MAC addresses that you noted in Step 1. It is not necessary to enter the colons.
3. Choose Start Install.
4. Choose Continue at the prompt to install NAS OS. To accommodate the installation, all data stored on the
hard disks will be deleted.
5. It takes approximately five minutes to format the hard drives and install NAS OS. Once it is finished, you are
prompted to create an administrator password. You can also change:
The name of the device.
The administrator login (the default login is admin) and remote access credentials.
The RAID configuration.
The time zone.
6. Make certain to note your login and password for future use.
7. Choose Finish to access the NAS OS Home page. You can remove the key from the device. Keep it in a safe
location for future use.
