Installing a New Disk

To remove a disk:
1. The drive tray may be locked. To unlock it, use the
RAID mode change and drive lock tool to turn the lock until
the slot is vertical (Fig. 5.7-A).
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. 5.7-B).
3. Grasp the drive tray handle and carefully extract the drive
(Fig. 5.7-C).
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 below).
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 indicat-
ing 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 re-
seller or LaCie Customer Support. Please replace a defective
hard drive only with a new drive provided by LaCie.
