      If your network is managed by a DHCP server and you cannot access your LaCie Network Space MAX, try checking your DHCP server’s log. To get the IP address, run LaCie Network Assistant, which is located on the LaCie Storage Utilities CD-ROM. If no DHCP server detected, the product will run APIPA to assign itself an IP address. To change this IP address, use LaCie Network Assistant.

      Make sure that the power supply is properly connected; that the system has been powered on pushing the power button; and that the outlet the power supply is connected to is powered on or has a sufficient supply of power. If the LED is flickering or will not turn on, the power supply may be defective. Please contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer Support. Review the installation steps. Disconnect the Ethernet cable, wait 10 seconds and then reconnect. Ensure that the interface connectors are properly aligned. The Ethernet cable can only be inserted one way. Make sure it is correctly oriented. Check that the Ethernet connectors are straight and fully seated in the Ethernet ports. Make sure that you use the Ethernet cord provided in the LaCie Network Space MAX box.

    • H
      Heather CastanedaAug 26, 2025
      When the LaCie Network Space MAX is connected to a computer via USB, the USB share is formatted in MS-DOS (FAT32), limiting file sizes to 4 GB. To transfer files larger than 4GB, disconnect the USB cable and connect the Ethernet cable.
