FireWire 400, also known as IEEE 1394, is a high-speed serial

input/output technology or connecting peripheral devices to a

computer or to each other, and FireWire 800 is the implemen-

tation o the new IEEE 1394b standard.

FireWire 800 oers increased bandwidth and extended distance

between devices. FireWire 800 is ideal or bandwidth-intensive

applications, such as audio, video and graphics.

Included FireWire Cables

Your LaCie d2 Quadra comes with a FireWire 400 cable and

a FireWire 800 cable.

1.4. Cables and Connectors

1.4.1. FireWire 400 and 800 Cables and Connectors

FireWire Benefts

Hot-pluggable: devices can be added and removedwhile the bus is active.

Isochronous data delivery: no dropped rames FireWiresupports real-time data delivery.

Flexible: up to 63 devices can be connected on a singlebus.

FireWire 800 reduces delays in arbitration and signaldistortion, and increases throughput.

Backwards compatibility: adapter cables allow FireWire400 devices to operate under the FireWire 800 port (atFireWire 400 speed).

1.4.2. USB Cables and Connectors

USB is a serial input/output technology or connecting periph-

eral devices to a computer or to each other. Hi-Speed USB 2.0is the latest implementation o this standard, and it provides the

necessary bandwidth and data transer rates to support high

speed devices such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital

cameras.

Included USB Cable

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 cable, to

ensure maximum data transer perormance when connected toa Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. The cable will also work when con-

nected to a USB port, but drive perormance will be limited to

USB 1.1 transer rates.

USB Cable Ends

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Benefts

Backwards compatibility: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 works withthe original USB specications.

Hot-swappable: no need to shut down or restart yourcomputer when adding or removing devices.


11/32


1.4.3. eSATA Cables and Connectors

Your LaCie d2 Quadra uses the latest in SATA technology, al-

lowing interace (or bus) transer rates o up to 3 Gbits/s. SATAtechnology was originally developed to serve as an internal

interace, delivering improved perormance to internal connec-

tions. Soon ater, eSATA, or external SATA was developed, al-

lowing or the use o shielded cables outside the PC.

eSATA technology was developed to be rugged and durable.

eSATA connectors do not have the L shaped design o other

SATA connectors. In addition, the guide eatures are vertically

oset and reduced in size to prevent the use o unshielded in-ternal cables in external applications.

Included eSATA Cable

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a eSATA cable, to ensure max-

imum data transer perormance when connected to a eSATA

port.

S-ATA

eSATA Cable Ends

eSATA Benefts

eSATA interace can achieve up to 3 Gbits/s transerrate.

Plug orientation An extrusion on the outside o theconnector helps guide and align the connector duringinsertion.

Hot-plug support eSATA enables adding and remov-

ing a drive without having to power down the system orreboot.

FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 interaces allow you to connect

another hard drive, a DVDRW writer or a digital video cam-

era directly to the LaCie d2 Quadra (this connection is called

daisy-chaining).

To daisy-chain devices, you must be using the same interace

(FireWire). Your computer will not recognize the daisy-chained

device i the interaces are mixed, i.e. a FireWire device at-

tached to a drive that is connected to the computer via the

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interace.

TeCHNICAl NOTe: When you daisy-chain using a mix o

interaces (FireWire 400 and FireWire 800) the resultant speed

will be limited to the lowest common denominator (FireWire

400 speeds).

Connect your LaCie d2 Quadras power supply and host

computer interace by ollowing the steps in sections 2.1 to

2.3.

To attach a digita vido caa*:

Using the iLink/DV cable (sold separately), connect the

4-pin end o the cable to the 4-pin port on your digital

camera.

Connect the 6-pin end o the iLink/DV cable to the 6-pinFireWire port on the back o the LaCie Hard drive (C).

To attach a iWi iha:

Connect the FireWire 400 or 800 cable into an available

FireWire 400 or 800 port on your FireWire peripheral.

Attach the other end o the FireWire 400 or 800 cable to

an available FireWire 400 or 800 port on the LaCie d2

Quadra (C).

The digital camera should now appear under My Computer

(Windows users) or on the desktop (Mac users).

3. Optional Formatting and Partitioning

The rst time you use your LaCie hard disk, LaCie Setup Assis-tant ormats your drive according to your needs. I your needs

change, you can reormat your LaCie Hard Disk to optimize it

or use with Windows or Mac, or or cross-platorm use. For

example, i you used LaCie Setup Assistant to ormat your drive

to work with your Mac (HFS+), but now you want to share

your hard disk with Windows users, you can reormat it to

FAT 32 (MS-DOS) or this purpose.

You may need to ormat your LaCie hard disk i LaCie Setup

Assistant was interrupted or stopped. I the hard disk does not

appear in My Computer (Windows) or on the desktop (Mac), it

may not be ormatted properly.

What is Formatting?When a disk is ormatted, the ollowing things occur: the op-

erating system erases all o the bookkeeping inormation on

the disk, tests the disk to make sure that all o the sectors are

reliable, marks bad sectors (i.e., those that are scratched) and

creates internal address tables that it later uses to locate inor-

mation. A hard disk must be ormatted beore it can be used

to store data.

What is Partitioning?

You can also divide the hard disk into sections, called parti-tions. A partition is a section o the hard disks storage capacity

that is created to contain les and data. For instance, you could

create three partitions on your drive: one partition or your o-

ce documents, one as a backup and one or your multimedia

les. Or, i you will be sharing the drive with another person in

your household or oce, you can create a partition or each

person who uses the drive. Partitioning is optional.

ImpOrTANT INO: pas coy th Us manua

and utiitis to you cout bo oatting.

Reormatting will erase everything rom the hard disk. I you

have other data that you want to protect or continue to use,

copy this inormation to your computer beore reormatting.

File System FormatsThere are three dierent le system ormat categories:

NTFS, FAT 32 (MS-DOS), and Mac OS Extended (HFS+).

Use the inormation below to determine which ormat is

best or you.

Use NTFS i

...you will be using the drive only with Windows 2000,

Windows XP or Windows Vista (perormance will generally

be greater when compared to FAT 32). This le system is

compatible in read only mode with Mac OS X 10.3 and

higher.

Use HFS+ i

...you will be using the drive on Macs only; perormancewill generally be greater when compared to FAT 32. This

le system is NOT compatible with Windows OS.

Use FAT 32 (MS-DOS) i

...you will be using your drive with both Windows and Mac

OS X 10.3 or sharing the drive between Windows 2000

and Windows XP or Windows Vista. Maximum single le

size is 4GB.
