LaCie 2big Network 2 • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON User Manual 1.3. Hard Drive Heat Management Heat Dissipation Design The LaCie 2big Network 2's metal body is ideal for naturally dissipating internal drive heat. Its unique design actually draws heat away from the internal drives toward the external casing. This feature takes heat away from the internal drive, keeping it safe and prolonging its life and reliability. As a consequence, it is normal for the external casing to be hot to the touch. Vertical, Horizontal & Rackmount Heat dissipation is maximized when the drive is in the vertical position. If you have several LaCie drives stacked on each other, please remember to attach the included rubber feet on the under side of your drives. This will allow for some airflow between your drives so that the heat dissipation can work effectively. LaCie does not recommend stacking or racking more than three drives on top of each other, especially if these drives are turned ON simultaneously.

1.3. Hard Drive Heat Management
Heat Dissipation Design
The LaCie 2big Network 2’s metal body is ideal for naturally dis-
sipating internal drive heat. Its unique design actually draws heat
away from the internal drives toward the external casing. This feature
takes heat away from the internal drive, keeping it safe and pro-
longing its life and reliability. As a consequence, it is normal for the
external casing to be hot to the touch.
Vertical, Horizontal & Rackmount
Heat dissipation is maximized when the drive is in the vertical posi-
tion. If you have several LaCie drives stacked on each other, please
remember to attach the included rubber feet on the under side of
your drives. This will allow for some airflow between your drives so
that the heat dissipation can work effectively. LaCie does not recom-
mend stacking or racking more than three drives on top of each
other, especially if these drives are turned ON simultaneously.
