To remove a disk:

to turn the lock until the slot is vertical (Fig. 85).
2. Draw out the drive tray by inserting your finger into the space
behind the drive tray handle and pulling to disengage the drive
(Fig. 86).
3. Grasp the drive tray handle and carefully extract the drive (Fig.
87).
To install a disk:
Replacing a drive involves two main steps, installing the new drive
and initializing the new disk on the Dashboard > RAID page (see
below).

CAUTION: After continuous use of the LaCie 2big Network 2,
drives may be hot. Use caution when removing.
1. Carefully insert the drive tray into an empty drive bay. When the
drive tray is most of the way in and you feel resistance, press the
drive tray handle firmly until you feel the drive snap into place
and the drive tray handle is flush with the back of the 2big.
2. Use the drawer key to lock the drive.
3. In the Dashboard > RAID page, you will see a message indicating
that the system has recognized a new disk. Click the Claim
button to continue.
4. The new disk will be added as a spare or as a part of a RAID
array and will begin to rebuild.
