LaCie d2 SCSI Hard Drive
3.1.3 - Connecting the Drive to the Computer
1) Power down your computer.
2) Connect your drive’s power supply cable to the main power outlet.
3) Connect one end of your SCSI cable to the SCSI port on your computer, or to a drive in your SCSI chain, if more than one
SCSI peripheral is connected. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to either of the SCSI connectors on your LaCie
drive. If, due to connector incompatibility, you are unable to connect the cable supplied with your LaCie drive to the SCSI
port on your computer, or to the other devices in your SCSI chain, please contact your computer supply retailer to obtain
an appropriate SCSI cable.
4) Power up your LaCie drive and all other peripherals in the SCSI chain first, then power on your computer.
Important Note: Always power on the devices in your SCSI chain before powering on your computer. This
ensures recognition by the computer’s operating system. Never connect or disconnect any devices in your SCSI
chain while the computer is powered on. Always turn off your computer before connecting or disconnecting
peripherals or powering off the peripherals.

Mac Users
Use the "Apple System Profiler" to check that your LaCie drive is recognized correctly. The drive should also mount to the Mac
desktop if it has been installed correctly.
Windows Users
Windows 98 SE and Me – After the operating system has loaded, open the "Control Panel" and double-click on the "System"
icon. Select the "Device Manager" tab and double-click on hard disk. If the drive has been installed correctly, it should be
listed here.
Windows NT – After the operating system has loaded, open the "Control Panel," double-click on "SCSI Adapter" and click
on the "Devices" tab.
Windows 2000 and XP – After the operating system has loaded, open "System," double-click on "Control Panel," select the
"Hardware" tab, and click the "Device Manager" button in "System Properties." If an "X" or "!" symbol appears next to the
icon for the LaCie drive, it has not been installed correctly. If this occurs, try reinstalling your SCSI card and drivers or contact
LaCie Technical Support.
