What operating systems is the d2
SAFE compatible with?
For configuration, the LaCie d2 SAFE Hard Drive works with Windows
2000, Windows XP and Mac OS 10.2 and later. Once users are registered,
your d2 SAFE Hard Drive can be used on every OS. Just swipe your finger
over the sensor when the top led blinks.
How many fingerprints can be regis-
tered?
Up to 10 fingerprints can be registered.
How many users can have access to a d2
SAFE drive?
A maximum of five users can have access to a single d2 SAFE drive. There
must be at least one Administrator. The other users can either have Adminis-
tration privileges or not.
What should I do if the d2 SAFE drive
remains locked after swiping my finger?
Make sure that you are swiping your finger the right direction (the front of
the drive should be facing you) and that you are touching the sensor for at
least 1 second but no more than 5 seconds. Also, be sure to wait a few sec-
onds after connecting the LaCie SAFE drive to the USB port on your com-
puter. Check with the Administrator to make sure you are registered and that
you are using the correct finger. You might also try cleaning the sensor with
a dry, soft cloth or disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. If none
of these things work, consult chapter 11.2. Troubleshooting the Fingerprint
Sensor for more suggestions.
How can an Administrator be changed? An Administrator can be changed by using the User Administration.
How can the authorized users be
changed?
Only users with Administration privileges can add or remove users or change
their profiles.
Can an Administrator give different
rights to each user?
Yes, an Administrator can give each user Read Only access to the data,
Read/Write access, or Administration privileges. Read Only access means
that a user can read data, but not modify it or add new data to the drive.
Read/Write access allows a user to both read data on the drive and create or
modify data on the drive. Administration privileges allow the user to have
Read/Write access as well as the ability to add or remove users or change
user profiles.
Should I keep a backup of the data
stored on the d2 SAFE drive?
It’s always a good idea to keep a backup, or even two backups, of your data.
LaCie provides a full range of products for backing up data, including tape
drives and CD and DVD burners.
