LaCie Ethernet Disk User Manual Adding Additional Storage Space page 43 10. Adding Additional Storage Space You can add additional storage space to your LaCie Ethernet Disk by connecting an external hard drive using a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. 1. Connect the hard drive to the LaCie Ethernet Disk using one of the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports. 2. In the Web Administration Page, click on the Disk tab (Fig. 53). 3. Refresh the page if necessary (under Windows in either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, right-click in the frame and click on Refresh or Reload). 4. A second drive should then be listed, and you can now create shares on these drives (Fig. 54). IMPORTANT INFO: Only NTFS formatted disks are fully supported. Disks formatted in FAT32 can only be used for backup. Any other format is not supported. Fig. 53 Fig. 54
