1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of
the LaCie 5big Network 2 (Fig. 04).
2. 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).
3. Turn on the drive by pressing the power button on the back of
the drive (Fig. 05). The front LED will turn on and then begin
blinking.
The drive is ready to be accessed once the blue LED has stopped
blinking. The product may take up to 3 minutes to boot.
Now move on to step 3, section 2.3. STEP 3: Connect using LaCie

TECHNICAL NOTE: Depending on your computer’s Ethernet set-
tings, you may be able to connect the 5big Network 2 directly to
your computer using the Ethernet cable.
