1. Introduction

1.1. Health and Safety Precautions

• Only qualied persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.

• Read this Quick Start Guide carefully and follow the correct procedures when setting up the device.

• Do not open your LaCie 5big Storage Server or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Never insert any

metallic object into the device or one of its drives to avoid any risk of electrical shock, ﬁre, short-

circuiting, or dangerous emissions. Your LaCie 5big Storage Server contains no user-serviceable parts.

If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualiﬁed LaCie Technical Support representative.

• Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place

objects containing liquids on the LaCie 5big Storage Server, as they may spill into its openings. Doing

so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, ﬁre, or personal injury.

• Power requirements 100-240 V~, 1.44 A, 50-60 Hz, (supply voltage uctuations not exceeding ±

10% of the nominal and transient over-voltages according to over-voltage category II).

1.2. General Use Precautions

• Do not expose your device to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F); or to

operational humidity beyond 5-80%, non-condensing, or non-operating humidity beyond 10-90%,

non-condensing. Doing so may damage it or disﬁgure its casing. Avoid placing your device near a

source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Additionally, placing your device in

an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.

• Always unplug the device from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be unused

for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, or

ﬁre.

• Use only the power supply shipped with the device.

• Do not use the device near other electrical appliances such as televisions or radios. Doing so may

cause interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.

• Do not place the device near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions,

or speakers. Magnetic interference can affect the operation and stability of your device.

• Never use excessive force on your device.

NOTES: (1) Any loss, corruption, or destruction of data while using a LaCie drive or drive

system is the sole responsibility of the user, and under no circumstances will LaCie be held

liable for the recovery or restoration of this data. To help prevent the loss of your data, LaCie

highly recommends that you keep TWO copies of your data; one copy on your external hard

disks or hard disk system, for instance, and a second copy either on your internal hard disk,

another external hard disk, or some other form of removable storage media.

(2) 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. 1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Once formatted, the actual available

storage capacity varies depending upon the operating environment (typically 10-15% less).

(3) Your 5big Storage Server must be kept in a location that is easily accessible and well

ventilated. As well, the location you choose must have an available Ethernet connection to the

network for the 5big Storage Server.

1.4. Windows Storage Server 2008

Your 5big Storage Server is shipped with Windows Storage Server 2008 pre-installed. By following the

proper steps for connecting and powering on the 5big Storage Server, you can begin conﬁguring the

device to meet the needs of the network.

1.5. Network Connection and Names

1.5.1. Minimum Network and Workstation Requirements

To successfully use the 5big Storage Server, your network must meet the following requirements:

Network Minimum Requirements

Server connection 100 Mbps Ethernet wired connection. LaCie highly recommends using

1 Gb/s for better performance.

Router/Firewall device A switch with wired Ethernet connectivity for the workstations to

communicate with the 5big Storage Server. LaCie highly recommends

using 1 Gb/s for better performance.

IP address The 5big Storage Server assumes that network devices receive their

IP addresses from a DHCP server. For a static IP conﬁguration, see

1.14. Setting a Static IP Address.

Internet access The 5big Storage Server must have access to the Internet for critical

updates to Windows Storage Server 2008.

Minimum Operating System Requirements for Workstations on the Network

The latest versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7

The latest versions of Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6

Linux 2.6

1.5.2. Default Name and Login

Username - Administrator

Password - LaCie5big (case sensitive)

Server name - 5bigstorage

1.5.3. Wireless Support

• The 5big Storage Server requires an Ethernet cable to connect to your network.

• Computers that are attached to the network wirelessly may access 5big Storage Server data when

given the proper rights.

1.5.4. Network and Server Recommendations

• For optimal performance, use a Gigabit Ethernet router or switch and a Gigabit Ethernet board in your

client computer(s).

• For improved network performance and reliability, LaCie recommends the use of both Ethernet ports

on the back of the 5big Storage Server. This is commonly referred to as “Teaming”. See the LaCie

Technical Brief on Teaming at www.lacie.com/technologies for further information.

• While changing the username is optional, LaCie recommends that administrators update the password

as soon as possible.

• Make certain to maintain the health of all the systems and hardware on the network. The 5big Storage

Server’s performance can be affected by such external forces as network activity, hardware, distance,

and setup.

1.6. Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor for Troubleshooting

The 5big Storage Server has a VGA connection and three USB 2.0 ports (see 1.7.2. Rear View) that may

be used for connecting a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Under normal operation, the 5big Storage

Server may be accessed using Remote Desktop Connection for administration. When troubleshooting

a problem related to the 5big Storage Server, LaCie recommends connecting a keyboard, mouse, and

monitor directly to the server in order to rule out conicts, such as problems with the network.

Please attach a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the 5big Storage Server the ﬁrst time it is

connected to your network and powered on. See 2.2 Startup and Login.

1.7.3. 5big Enclosure Numbered Slots and Disk Trays

– (Fig. 03)

For convenience when adding or removing disks, the 5big

enclosure drive slots and trays have matching numbers.

1.8. Removing and Installing Disks

• If you are replacing a disk, make certain to choose the

slot with the problem drive.

• If you are adding a new drive to an empty slot,

consider a LaCie 5big Drive. LaCie 5big Drives are

specially prepared and optimized for use with the 5big

Storage Server. Please go to www.lacie.com for further

information on new LaCie 5big Drives.

• LaCie recommends selecting drives that are equal

in storage capacity with RAID 5 conﬁgurations. For

example, ﬁll all empty slots with 1 TB drives if the ﬁrst

drive is 1 TB. See the Technical Brief on RAID for further

information.

• If you are installing non-LaCie disks into the 5big

Storage Server, please go to www.lacie.com to see

the list of supported hard drives. LaCie cannot

guarantee performance or functionality when using

unsupported drives.

• When adding a new drive, choose a drive tray that

does not hold a drive. LaCie recommends inserting

new drives in the order of the numbered slots, from

left to right. For example, if the rst slot on the left (Slot

1) contains the sole drive in the enclosure, choose the

second slot from the left (Slot 2) for the next drive. See

1.9 Fastening a non-LaCie Hard Disk to a 5big Enclosure

Drive Tray once you have removed an empty drive tray

(Fig. 03 - Rear view without disk trays).

NOTE: In the event that an individual

hard disk fails in the LaCie 5big Storage

Server, contact your LaCie reseller or LaCie

Customer Support for technical assistance.

If the problem drive was purchased from

LaCie and it is within the warranty period,

please replace it with a hard drive provided

by LaCie. LaCie will not replace a non-

LaCie hard drive or any hard drive not

purchased from LaCie.

Fig. 03 - Rear view without disk trays

Remove a 5big enclosure drive tray:

1. Use the included drive lock tool to unlock the drive

tray. Turn the lock until it is vertical. (Fig. 04)

2. Place your index ﬁnger into the space behind the

handle. (Fig. 05)

3. Draw out the drive tray handle and carefully extract

it (Fig. 06). Please use caution when removing the

drive tray.

See 1.9 Fastening a non-LaCie Hard Disk to a

5big Enclosure Drive Tray if you are adding a

non-LaCie drive.

Install a disk into the 5big enclosure:

1. Make certain that the replacement or new drive is

securely fastened to a drive tray.

2. Carefully insert the drive tray into the empty drive

slot. You will feel resistance when the drive tray is

most of the way in the bay. Gently push the drive

tray handle ﬁrmly until you feel it snap into place.

The drive tray handle should be ush with the back

of the 5big enclosure.

3. Use the drive lock tool to lock the drive in place.

CAUTION: After continuous use, the 5big

Storage Server drives may be hot. Use

caution when removing a a drive tray with

a disk.
