Are both ends of the interface
cable firmly connected?
By default the Ethernet Disk mini is configured to retrieve its IP address from a DHCP server. If
your network is managed by a DHCP server and you cannot access your Ethernet Disk mini, try
checking your DHCP server's log. To get the IP address, run the LaCie IP configurator software
tool, which is located on the LaCie Storage Utilities CD-ROM. If your network is NOT managed
by a DHCP server, the Ethernet Disk mini uses its default IP address, which is 192.168.1.100. To
change this IP address, use the LaCie IP Configurator software tool.
Is the IP address properly set?
Is your network DHCP en-
abled?
Are you using AppleTalk under
Mac OS 9.x?
Solution
■
Review the installation steps (chapter 3). The two cables cannot
be connected at the same time.
Disconnect the interface cable, wait 10 seconds and then re-
❖
connect.
Ensure that the interface connectors are properly aligned. The
❖
interface cables can only be inserted one way. Make sure that
they are correctly oriented.
Check that the interface connectors are straight and fully seat-
❖
ed in the interface ports.
Only use certified interface cables, such as the cables provided
❖
with your LaCie drive. If you have followed all of these steps
and the drive is still not recognized, shut down your computer,
wait 3 to 5 minutes, restart your computer and try again. In
the event that the drive is still not recognized, take the drive
to another computer and attempt to connect the drive. If the
drive is not recognized on another computer, please contact
your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer Support.
