LaCie 2big Quadra Enterprise Class • Design by Neil Poulton User Manual RAID page 19 3.3. Removing and Installing Drives In the event that an individual hard disk fails in the LaCie 2big Enterprise Class, please contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie Customer Support. Please replace a defective hard drive only with a new drive provided by LaCie. CAUTION: After continuous use of the LaCie 2big, drives may be hot. Use caution when removing. To Remove a Drive: 1. If the 2big is in Fast (RAID 0) or Big (concatenation) mode, turn it off and unplug it. If the 2big is in Safe (RAID 1) or Mixed mode, you can leave it turned on and continue to step 2. 2. The drive tray may be locked. To unlock it, insert the round end of the provided 2-in-1 tool into the slot on the drive lock and turn the lock until the slot is vertical (Fig. 12). 3. Draw out the drive tray by inserting your finger into the space behind the drive tray handle and pulling to disengage the drive. 4. Grasp the drive tray handle and carefully extract the drive (Fig. 13). 5. Turn the drive on to continue using the remaining drives. To Install a Drive: IMPORTANT INFO: A replaced drive should not have a smaller capacity than the drive it is replacing. 1. If the 2big is in Fast (RAID 0) or Big (concatenation) mode, turn it off and unplug it. If the 2big is in Safe or Mixed mode, you can leave it turned on and continue to step 2. 2. Carefully insert the drive tray into an empty drive bay. When the drive tray is most of the way in and you feel resistance, press the drive tray handle firmly until you feel the drive snap into place and the drive tray handle is flush with the back of the 2big. 3. Use the 2-in-1 tool to lock the drive lock. Turn the locks until the grooves are oriented vertically. The drives are locked when all locks are horizontal. TECHNICAL NOTE: Data are still accessible during a rebuild. In On and Auto mode, the 2big can be disconnected from the workstation during the rebuild. In Auto mode, if the 2big is not connected or if the computer is off, the 2big will go into standby mode when the rebuild has completed. IMPORTANT INFO: Drive warranty will be void if you replace the defective drive with a drive not provided by LaCie. Drives purchased from LaCie are shipped pre-installed in drive trays with handles. IMPORTANT INFO: Rebuilding a Safe (RAID 1) array can take several hours. For example, rebuilding a 1TB RAID 1 array can take up to 6 hours. LaCie does not recommend removing any drives during rebuild. IMPORTANT INFO: In Safe (RAID 1) and Mixed (RAID 1 and RAID 0) mode, in order for rebuilding to occur, the product must be turned on while a replacement disk is installed. LaCie does not recommend removing a drive from a Mixed array unless the drive has failed, as the data on the RAID 0 volume could be lost. Fig. 12 Fig. 13
