Is the LED on the front of the device flickering for an inordinate period of time? 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. Did you follow the correct installation steps? Review the installation steps (2. Connecting to a Network).
