Step 3: Install the disks into the disk trays
Find a suitable work area with adequate space and a flat, even surface. Make certain that all necessary
components are available:
LaCie 2big NAS disk tray
Hard disk
Disk tray screws. Use only the screws that are provided with your LaCie NAS.
Phillips head screwdriver. Make certain that the screwdriver is the correct size for the disk tray screws.
Caution: To avoid potential problems caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), it is recommended that you
do not touch the hard disk's printed circuit board. As a further precaution against ESD, use an anti-static
wristband or an anti-static mat to ground yourself when handling the hard disk.
To secure the disk in the disk tray:
1. Place the empty disk tray onto the flat work area with the handle on the bottom left.
2. Many disks have a label on one side and the printed circuit board on the opposite side. With its label side
facing up, gently place the hard disk within the disk tray. Keep the side with the printed circuit board on the
work space and the SATA connector facing to the right. The four tray screw slots should align with the disk's
four screw holes.
3. Use the Phillips head screwdriver to fasten all four screws into the four tray slots. Do not overly tighten the
screws. Doing so can affect the integrity of the screw holes on the disk as well as the threads on the screws.
4. Repeat the process if you are installing two disks.
