To remove a disk:

mode change and drive lock tool to turn the lock until the slot
is vertical (Fig. 89).
2. Draw out the drive tray by inserting your finger into the space
behind the drive tray handle and pulling to disengage the drive
(Fig. 90).
3. Grasp the drive tray handle and carefully extract the drive

To install a disk:
Replacing a drive involves two main steps, installing the new drive
and initializing the new disk on the System > RAID page (see be-
low).
CAUTION: After continuous use of the LaCie 5big network, drives
may be hot. Use caution when removing.
1. Carefully insert the drive tray into an empty drive bay. When the
drive tray is most of the way in and you feel resistance, press the
drive tray handle firmly until you feel the drive snap into place
and the drive tray handle is flush with the back of the 5big.
2. Use the 2-in-1 RAID mode change and drive lock tool to unlock
the drive.
3. In the System > RAID page, you will see a message indicating
that the system has recognized a new disk and requesting user
validation.
4. The new disk will be added as a spare or as a part of a RAID
array and will begin to rebuild.
IMPORTANT INFO: In the event that an individual hard disk fails
in the LaCie 5big network, please contact your LaCie reseller or
LaCie Customer Support. Please replace a defective hard drive only
with a new drive provided by LaCie.
