2.4. Disconnecting Your LaCie hard
disk MAX
External USB devices feature "plug & play" connectivity, which
means that your drive can be connected and disconnected while
the computer is running. To prevent failures, however, it is im-
portant to follow these steps when disconnecting your LaCie
hard drive.
Windows Users
1. From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand
side of your screen), click the Eject icon (a small green
arrow over a hardware image).
2. A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject icon
controls (it should say, "Safely remove..."). Click on the
LaCie hard drive in this prompt.
3. This message will appear: "Safe to Remove Hardware"
(or similar). It is now safe to disconnect the device.
