Quiet operaon and heat management
To reduce noise during operation, the LaCie 2big Dock uses a Noctua® cooling fan to pull heat away from
the internal components. In addition to being exceptionally quiet, the Noctua cooling fan is temperature
controlled, which guarantees optimal heat management by adjusting the rotational speed for the
environment. Additionally, the enclosure's metal casing dissipates heat from the hard drives, keeping them
safe and prolonging their life. Since LaCie's unique design draws heat away from the internal hard drives, the
external casing may be warm to the touch after extended use.
Posion and stacking
Always make certain to place LaCie 2big Dock on a flat, even surface designed to support the heat output
and airflow of a professional hard disk enclosure. For proper heat dissipation, LaCie 2big Dock is designed to
stand on its rubber feet, situated on the bottom of the enclosure. DO NOT place the enclosure on its side
when it is powered on.
Important info: The wide exhaust chamber on the rear of LaCie 2big Dock allows for enhanced
airflow. Make sure that it is not obstructed and that there is a natural airflow across the casing.
