3.4. Connecting an External Hard Disk
You can connect an external USB hard disk to back up the data on
your LaCie Big Disk Network or as a way to add storage capacity.
Connected hard disks are accessed similarly to shared folders.
TECHNICAL NOTE: External hard disks must be formatted in one
of the supported systems in to mount on the LaCie Big Disk Network:
FAT32, NTFS, HFS+, EXT3, REISERFS or XFS.
In order to use an external hard drive to back up the Big Disk Network,
the drive must be formatted in one of the file formats listed above,
with the exception of NTFS. NTFS volumes cannot be used to
back up the Big Disk Network because this file system format is
read-only when connected to the Big Disk Network. External drives
can be formatted to XFS through the Web administration page. For
details, see
4.5.4. Disks .
To connect an external hard disk:
1. Turn on your LaCie Big Disk Network.
2. Turn on the external hard disk (if it has a power button) and
connect its USB cable to the USB port on the back of the LaCie
Big Disk Network (
Abb. 24 ).
3. In the Web Administration Page, click System and then on the
Disks tab.
The external hard drive will be listed ( Abb. 25 ). For more informa-
tion, see 4.5.4. Disks .
