Short push and RAID synchronizaon
Applying a short push during RAID synchronization spins down the hard drives. The RAID synchronization
continues the next time you spin the hard drives up via a short push.
Long push
A long push is a manual depression on the button that lasts more than four seconds. When the product is
operating, a long push will cut the power to LaCie 2big RAID, forcing it to shut down immediately. A long
push is not recommended for general use as it may result in data loss.
Quiet operaon and heat management
To reduce noise during operation, LaCie 2big RAID 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 your LaCie 2big RAID on a flat, even surface that can support the heat output
and airflow of a professional hard drive enclosure. For proper heat dissipation, 2big RAID is designed to
stand upright. Do not place the enclosure on its side when it is powered on.
The device does not support stacking. Do not stack other drives, enclosures, or equipment on top of the
enclosure.
The warranty for your 2big RAID will be voided if you:
Stack 2big RAID on another device.
Stack other drives, enclosures, or equipment on top of 2big RAID.
Important—Always eject LaCie 2big RAID volumes from your computer before applying a short
push.
Important—The wide exhaust chamber on the rear of LaCie 2big RAID allows for enhanced
airflow. Make sure that it is not obstructed and that there is a natural airflow across the casing.
