3.6. 5big Enclosure Numbered Slots
and Disk Trays
For convenience when adding or removing disks, the 5big enclosure
drive slots and trays have matching numbers
IMPORTANT INFO: The order of disks in the 5big enclosure can
be important. LaCie recommends inserting new drives in the order
of the numbered slots, from left to right. For example, if the first slot
on the left (Slot 1) contains the sole drive in the enclosure, choose
the second slot from the left (Slot 2) for the next drive.

Gently push the drive tray handle firmly until you feel the drive
snap into place. The drive tray handle should be flush with the
back of the 5big enclosure.
9. Use the drive lock tool to lock the drive in place.
