Connect the power supply in the following order:
1. The power input port on the back of the LaCie d2.
2. A live power outlet.
The LaCie d2 will power on automatically when it is connected to a computer that is turned on and a live
power outlet.
Step 3 - Launch LaCie Setup Assistant
LaCie Setup Assistant (LSA) must be launched before using your drive. It will allow you to:
Easily format the hard drive according to your needs
Copy the User Manual to your computer
Install software for added features
Register your LaCie device
Launch LaCie Setup Assistant - Windows
AutoPlay: Windows AutoPlay may detect your LaCie hard drive as soon as it is connected to your computer.
If the AutoPlay window appears, choose Open folder to view files and double-click LaCie Setup.
Manual access: Open the LACIE SETUP volume in Computer (My Computer for Windows XP) and double-
click LaCie Setup.
Important info: If you do not launch LSA or if you quit it after the formatting has begun, your
drive will not be ready to use and will require manual formatting. The User Manual and utilities
will not be available and will have to be downloaded from the LaCie website:
