ImpOrTANT INfO: Your LaCie hard disk is
powered by your computer’s USB 2.0 bus. If the
Little Disk does not power on when connected,
check the physical connections and verify that
your system meets the minimum requirements.
Remove the cap.
If necessary, pull out the USB cable. Push the USB
connector toward the side of the Little Disk with
the LaCie logo (Fig. 2.1.A-1) and pull to extract the
cable (Fig. 2.1.A-2).
Insert the USB connector into an available USB 2.0
port on your computer (Fig. 2.1.B). If you need extra
cable length, connect the USB connector to the USB
extension cable and then connect the extension cable
to your computer (Fig. 2.1.C).
After a few seconds, the hard drive will mount on
your computer and appear on the desktop (Mac us-
ers) or in My Computer (Windows users).
