LaCie d2 Network User Manual 1. Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a LaCie d2 Network. Designed to satisfy the data sharing and backup needs of small offices, the LaCie d2 Network represents the new generation of shared storage with security. Superior Design The advanced heat-dissipating metal casing ensures long-lasting reliability and quiet operation. The d2 Network can be stacked or rackmounted to conform to every work environment. The large glowing blue button adds more than character - it functions as a 1-click data-sharing button for automatic file transfers from a USB or eSATA hard drive. Just push the button; your data is automatically saved to the d2 Network. Easy Setup & Access The new user-friendly LaCie Network Assistant makes setup simple and enables accessing, mapping and configuring the drives on your office's network. The d2 Network's compatibility with Mac®, Windows® and Linux machines without having to install drivers make it the ideal file-sharing solution for home offices or small businesses.
