First Use Steps
1. Connect the Rugged Safe to your computer
via USB (Mac®OS 10.5.x and 10.6.x and
Windows®) or FireWire 800 (Mac 10.6.x
and Windows).
2. If the drive is connected via USB, connect
the optional USB power-sharing cable to
the drive and to your computer.
You may not require the additional power
cable once the installation is complete if the
USB port on your computer provides enough
power to operate the device.
3. A disk called LaCie Safe Utilities will appear
on your Mac or PC.
4. Install LaCie Safe Manager to create and register one to ten users.
Windows users: Double-click the LaCie Safe Manager icon to launch the installer.
Mac users: Double-click the LaCie Safe Manager icon and then drag the
application into your Applications folder. Next, navigate to the Applications folder
and double-click the LaCie Safe Manager icon to launch the installer.
5. The final step of the installation offers a choice to format the drive as FAT32 (Mac
and Windows). While the Rugged Safe must be formatted, you may select “No”
during the installation if you prefer HFS+ (Mac) or NTFS (Windows) for enhanced
performance. However, you must format the drive after the installation. Consult the
User Manual for further details on formatting.

Normal Use
1. Connect the USB or FireWire 800 cable to your computer and to the drive.
2. If LaCie Safe Manager has been installed on the computer, you may unlock the
drive by swiping a registered finger or using a password.
Note: LaCie Safe Manager is only required on one computer to configure the drive
for authentication by password and to manage users. When attaching the LaCie
Rugged Safe to a computer without LaCie Safe Manager, the data partition will not
appear on the desktop until an authorized user has swiped his finger. See step 3.
3. Type the password or swipe your finger to access the drive. To swipe your finger correctly:
a. Make sure that the front of the drive is facing you, and wait for the top LED to
be solid red.
b. With your finger pressed flat on the groove and fingertip touching the top recess,
slowly slide the finger toward you.
4. To lock the Rugged Safe: First, unmount the device partitions. Second, swipe a
registered finger. The LED will turn red.
USB connection note: If the USB bus on your computer does not sufficiently power
the LaCie Rugged Safe, you should:
1. Disconnect the USB cable
2. Connect the USB power cable to your computer and the LaCie Rugged Safe
3. Reconnect the USB cable

Precautions
Do not stack multiple LaCie Rugged Safe hard disks or expose the device to liquids.

Première utilisation
1. Connectez le Rugged Safe à votre ordinateur via USB (Mac®OS 10.5.x et 10.6.x et Windows®)
ou FireWire 800 (Mac 10.6.x et Windows).
2. Si vous utilisez la connexion USB, branchez le câble d’alimentation USB facultatif sur le disque et
sur l’ordinateur.
Le câble d’alimentation supplémentaire n’est pas forcément nécessaire une fois la procédure
d’installation terminée, si l’ordinateur fournit suffisamment de puissance au périphérique par le
biais du port USB.
3. Un disque nommé LaCie Safe Utilities apparaîtra sur votre Mac ou sur votre PC.
4. Installez LaCie Safe Manager pour créer et enregistrer un à dix utilisateurs.
Utilisateurs Windows : double-cliquez sur l’icône LaCie Safe Manager pour lancer le
programme d’installation.
Utilisateurs Mac : double-cliquez sur l’icône LaCie Safe Manager et faites glisser l’application
dans votre dossier Applications. Ouvrez ensuite le dossier Applications et double-cliquez sur
l’icône LaCie Safe Manager pour lancer le programme d’installation.
5. La dernière étape de l’installation vous offre la possibilité de formater le disque au format FAT32
(Mac et Windows). Pendant le formatage du Rugged Safe, vous pouvez sélectionner « Non »
pendant l’installation si vous préférez les formats HFS+ (Mac) ou NTFS (Windows) qui
améliorent les performances. Vous devez toutefois formater le disque après l’installation.
Reportez-vous au manuel d’utilisation pour plus d’informations sur le formatage.
Installation

Utilisation normale
1. Branchez le câble USB ou FireWire 800 sur l’ordinateur et sur le disque dur.
2. Si LaCie Safe Manager a été installé sur l’ordinateur, vous pouvez déverrouiller le disque en
passant votre doigt enregistré ou en utilisant un mot de passe.
Remarque : LaCie Safe Manager n’est nécessaire que sur un ordinateur pour pouvoir configurer le
disque à des fins d’authentification par mot de passe et de gestion des utilisateurs. Si le LaCie
Rugged Safe est relié à un ordinateur ne disposant pas de l’application LaCie Safe Manager, la
partition de données n’apparaîtra pas sur le bureau tant qu’un utilisateur habilité n’aura pas
passé le doigt sur le capteur. Reportez-vous à l’étape 3.
3. Saisissez le mot de passe ou passez votre doigt pour accéder au disque. Pour passer votre
doigt correctement :
a. Assurez-vous que l’avant du disque vous fait face et attendez que le voyant supérieur rouge
soit allumé en continu.
b. Appliquez le doigt à plat sur la rainure, le bout du doigt touchant le haut du creux, et faites-le
glisser lentement vers vous.
4. Pour verrouiller le Rugged Safe : démonter d’abord les partitions du périphérique. Passez ensuite
votre doigt enregistré. Le voyant devient rouge.
Remarque à propos de la connexion USB : si le bus USB de votre ordinateur ne fournit pas une
alimentation suffisante pour assurer le fonctionnement du LaCie Rugged Safe, procédez comme suit :
1. Débranchez le câble USB.
2. Connectez le câble d’alimentation USB à l’ordinateur et au LaCie Rugged Safe.
3. Reconnectez le câble USB.

Operazioni preliminari
1. Connettere l’unità Rugged Safe al computer tramite USB (Mac®OS 10.5.x e 10.6.x e Windows®)
o FireWire 800 (Mac 10.6.x e Windows).
2. Se si utilizza l'interfaccia USB per il collegamento dell'unità, è necessario anche collegare il cavo
di condivisione dell'alimentazione USB opzionale all'unità e al computer.
Il cavo di alimentazione aggiuntivo può non essere necessario una volta completata
l’installazione se la porta USB sul computer fornisce energia sufficiente per far funzionare l’unità.
3. Sul Mac o sul PC viene visualizzato un disco chiamato LaCie Safe Utilities.

Utenti Windows: fare doppio clic sull'icona di LaCie Safe Manager per avviare il programma
di installazione.
Utenti Mac: fare doppio clic sull’icona di LaCie Safe Manager e trascinare l’applicazione nella
cartella Applicazioni. Quindi, posizionarsi all'interno di questa cartella e fare doppio clic
sull'icona di LaCie Safe Manager per avviare il programma di installazione.
5. Il passaggio finale dell'installazione consente di scegliere se formattare l’unità come FAT32 (Mac
e Windows). Anche se l’unità Rugged Safe deve essere formattata, è possibile scegliere "No"
durante l'installazione se si preferisce HFS+ (Macintosh) o NTFS (Windows) per ottenere migliori
prestazioni. È comunque necessario formattare l’unità dopo l'installazione. Per ulteriori dettagli,
consultare la Guida per l'utente.
