manually or synchronized with a third party server.
• Disk Configuration: Specify how much of the total storage should be
made available when the drive is connected to your computer via USB,
and how much for when your computer is connected to the network. You
can modify this amount from 0 GB to up to 500GB (default is 0 GB).
If you choose to increase the USBShare size, it is necessary to format the
share. After completing the Setup Wizard, navigate to Drive Information >
USB Drive and select Format. Refer to the User Manual for more information.
IMPORTANT INFO: LaCie strongly recommends you do not increase the USBShare size to
more than 128 GB unless you format USBShare to either NTFS or HFS+ file system using
your operating system’s native disk utility.

E. Once you’ve finished, you can proceed to the Dashboard by clicking Finish.
NOTE: You can also change the language on the Setup Wizard page.
NOTE: The machine name can be modified later from the Dashboard.
NOTE: If necessary, you can assign the drive a static IP address from the Network section
in the Dashboard.

system tray (Windows), menu bar (Mac), or
