Front Button Functions
The front LED is also a button. Consult the following table for front button functions. Note that Passive Mode
means that the product is on but the disks are idle. This allows you, for example, to daisy chain compatible
Thunderbolt devices to a host computer via the LaCie 5big, without causing the 5big's disks to spin up. This lets
you control energy usage and limit unnecessary wear and tear on the 5big's disks.

CABLES AND CONNECTORS
THUNDERBOLT
Your LaCie product features Thunderbolt technology, the most flexible interface ever created. This exciting new
high-speed cable technology connects your computers and electronic devices together like never before.
Thunderbolt technology supports two 10Gb/s bi-directional channels from a single port, the fastest data
connection available on a personal computer. At 10Gb/s, a full-length HD movie can be transferred in less than
30 seconds.
Thanks to support for both data streams and mini DisplayPort video, you can connect either a storage peripheral
or a display to a Thunderbolt port. However, it's not possible to use a mini DisplayPort cable to connect a
storage peripheral to a Thunderbolt port. You must use a Thunderbolt cable.
