LaCie d2 Quadra Enterprise Class • Design by Neil Poulton User Manual Troubleshooting page 21 3.2. Troubleshooting Topics Problem The d2 is not recognized by the computer. The d2 is working slowly. The power supply is no longer functional. Solutions If there is no icon for the d2 on the desktop (Mac users) or in My Computer (Windows users): ✦✦ Check the interface cable connection. Check both ends of the FireWire, eSATA or USB cables and make sure that they are fully seated in their respective ports. Try disconnecting the cables, waiting 10 seconds, and then reconnecting them. If the drive is still not recognized, restart your computer and try again. ✦✦ Make sure your product is not encrypted. If so, you will need to run the LaCie Desktop Manager software. ✦✦ Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for compatibility with the d2 Quadra. See section 1.1. Minimum System Requirements for more information. ✦✦ Make sure the power supply is properly connected (see section 2.2. Turn On the d2), that the drive has been turned on by pressing the On/Off/Auto button the back of the drive, and that the outlet the power supply is connected to is also turned on. ✦✦ Make sure that the drive has been formatted properly. Please see section 2.3. Formatting and Partitioning. If other USB, eSATA or FireWire devices are connected to the same port or hub, disconnect the other devices and see if the d2's performance improves. Replacement power supply cords are available for purchase on the LaCie Web page: www.lacie.com 3.3. Installing New Firmware LaCie may periodically offer firmware updates for the d2.
