To reduce noise during operation, 1big Dock uses a Noctua cooling fan to pull heat away from the internal
components. The 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 drive, keeping it safe and prolonging its life. Since LaCie's unique design draws heat away from
the internal hard drive, the external casing may be warm to the touch after extended use.
Posion and stacking
Always make certain to place 1big Dock on a flat, even surface designed to support the heat output and
airflow of the hard disk enclosure. For proper heat dissipation, 1big 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 1big Dock allows for enhanced airflow.
Make sure that it is not obstructed and that there is a natural airflow across the casing.
