LaCie Ethernet Disk
User's Manual
1. Introduction
Share information across diverse platforms, over a network or over the Web. The LaCie Ethernet Disk is the first hard drive
that can be connected to a network, without any technical expertise. You'll be able to easily communicate by sharing content
with others over a network to collaborate on multiple projects for greater workgroup productivity. Just plug the LaCie Ethernet
Disk to any Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet, port and start sharing the disk among as many as 25 users at the same time*.
Tech Note:
While the LaCie Ethernet Disk supports 25 users connected simultaneously, it is highly recommended
that not all 25 users transfer files at the same time because this may cause the system to become overloaded.
LaCie recommends that no more than 10 users transfer files at the same time. Gigabit speeds available only on
models with Gigabit Ethernet port.
Open a new world of connectivity and flexible information management by instantly adding storage space to users on a
network, and expand the capacity by simply daisy-chaining additional Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hard drives. Powered by Windows
XP® Embedded, the LaCie Ethernet Disk is affordable, secure and compatible with all platforms, including Windows, Mac,
Linux and UNIX.
The LaCie Ethernet Disk was designed to easily integrate into any environment. Engineered to be rack mountable, you can
quickly and easily place the LaCie Ethernet Disk into your standard 19-inch computer equipment racks, or if you prefer
seamlessly incorporate it into workstation configurations as a stand-alone or stackable device.
With all it can do for you, we're confident that your LaCie Ethernet Disk will quickly become an important tool in your day-to-
day business and personal computing.
