Q: How can I find the public IP address for advanced features such as offsite backups and remote FTP access?
A: You can find the public IP address by clicking here. You must use a computer connected to the same router
as the LaCie NAS.
I think that the hard disk is making unusual noises.
Q: Is the sound "soft clicking" or "hard clicking"?
A: Soft clicking can be the normal sound of the hard drive working. If the hard drive is functional, this is normal.
Hard drives do not typically give an indication of any problems prior to failure, so it does not mean it is about to
fail if the hard drive is making a clicking sound and still functioning. You can check the status of your hard drives
by running a SMART test (see Monitoring).
Hard clicking is a very noticeable sound, and is akin to hearing metal-on-metal impacts. This behavior is usually
indicative of a physical failure. If nothing traumatic happened to the hard drive prior to this starting, consider it
to be soft clicking, and troubleshoot the problem as suggested above.
The VGA monitor that I connected to the LaCie 5big NAS Pro appears to be receiving a signal but
the screen is black.
Q: How long has the VGA monitor been connected to the NAS?
A: The VGA signal reverts to energy saving mode within a few minutes. If the monitor appears to be receiving a
signal but no image is present, try to connect a USB keyboard to one of the LaCie 5big NAS Pro's USB ports. Tap
on one of the keys to view the LaCie 5big NAS Pro VGA signal.
