MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Your system must meet certain requirements in order for your LaCie product to function properly. For a list of

these requirements, please refer to the product packaging or consult the product support web page at

www.lacie.com/support/.

CABLES AND CONNECTORS

CABLE MANAGEMENT

This product includes a cable lock, a small plastic clasp that prevents cords from accidentally disconnecting.

To use the cable lock:

Insert the clasp's locking head into the lock slot.1.

Make sure that the interface cable is connected to the product.2.

String the interface cable through the open cable lock gate.3.

Close and snap in place the cable lock gate.4.

USB 3.0

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a computer. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is

the latest implementation of this standard, and it provides higher bandwidth and new power management

features.

Transfer rates can attain up to 5 Gbits/s as opposed to USB 2.0's 480 Mbits/s. This means USB 3.0 is

theoretically up to ten times faster than its predecessor.

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable to ensure maximum data transfer performance

when connected to a compatible USB 3.0 port. The cable will also work when connected to a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port,

but drive performance will be limited to their respective transfer rates.

FIREWIRE 800

FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394, is a high-speed serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral

devices to a computer or to each other, and FireWire 800 is the implementation of the new IEEE 1394b standard.

FireWire 800 offers increased bandwidth and extended distance between devices. FireWire 800 is ideal for

bandwidth-intensive applications, such as audio, video and graphics.

Note: FireWire 800 is backwards compatible with FireWire 400, which means that if you have an adapter

cable, you can connect your LaCie FireWire 800 product to a FireWire 400 port on your computer. In this

case, file transfers will be limited to FireWire 400 speeds. If your product does not include an adapter cable

in the package, you can purchase one from www.lacie.com/accessories/.
