Setup
1. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet and
connect the power cable to the hard disk MAX.
2. Connect one of the interface cables to your
computer and to the hard disk MAX.
3. Turn on the hard disk MAX by moving the power switch on the back to the ON position.
NOTE: Do not change the RAID mode because LaCie Setup Assistant will not be available.
4. Before using your drive, LaCie Setup Assistant software must be launched to format
your drive.
It will:
• Optimize your drive according to your needs
• Copy the manual and utilities to your computer
To launch LaCie Setup Assistant:
Windows users: Double-click the LaCie drive icon in “My Computer”.
Mac users: Double-click the “LaCie Setup Assistant” icon on your desktop.
NOTE: If you do not launch LaCie Setup Assistant or if you quit LaCie Setup Assistant after the formatting has begun, your drive will not be ready to use
and will require manual formatting. The user manual and utilities will not be available and will have to be downloaded from the LaCie website: www.
lacie.com
NOTE: Using LaCie Setup Assistant does not prevent you from using your computer’s native disk utility program to format or partition your LaCie drive.
Simply follow the Setup Assistant through completion, then use your computer’s native disk utility (Disk Management for Windows or Disk Utility for Mac)
to reformat your drive. See the User Manual for more information.
