2.2. Connect the Ethernet Cable
Unlike regular desktop hard drives, the LaCie Network Space is
only accessible when attached to your network with the Ethernet
cable and does not connect directly to your computer with a
USB cable.
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Turn the drive on. See 2.1. Turn the Drive On .
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back
of the LaCie Network Space.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into an available
Ethernet “out” port on your router or hub (refer to your router
or hub’s documentation if necessary). Allow a few moments
for your network to recognize the drive.
Now move on to step 3, section 2.3. Connect with LaCie Net-
work Assistant .
IMPORTANT INFO: Do not connect the LaCie Network
Space directly to your computer via the USB port. The USB port
is intended only for connection of other USB storage devices.
