2big NAS User Manual 11
ADDING DISKS TO AN EMPTY ENCLOSURE
Note: This section only applies to new, diskless LaCie NAS enclosures. When following the
directions below, please install one or more disks that have not been formatted and do not
contain system information. If you purchased a 2big NAS with hard disks pre-installed in one or both disk
slots, do not follow these steps – instead, install the product by following the steps in network. Note that the
2big NAS does not need to be connected to the network during the below process.
1. CHOOSE COMPATIBLE DISK(S)
When adding a new disk to an empty slot, consider a LaCie 2big Spare Drive. LaCie disks are specially
■
prepared and optimized for use with LaCie NAS.
If you are installing non-LaCie disks, please check the list of supported Network Hard Drives. LaCie cannot
■
guarantee performance or functionality when using unsupported disks.
Only 3.5” SATA II disks may be used in the NAS enclosure.
■
LaCie recommends selecting disks that are equal in storage capacity. For example, if the first disk has a 1TB
■
disk, fill all the slots with 1TB disks.
