1.5.3. Wireless Support
• The 5big Storage Server requires an Ethernet cable to connect to your network.
• Computers that are attached to the network wirelessly may access 5big Storage Server data when
given the proper rights.
1.5.4. Network and Server Recommendations
• For optimal performance, use a Gigabit Ethernet router or switch and a Gigabit Ethernet board in your
client computer(s).
• For improved network performance and reliability, LaCie recommends the use of both Ethernet ports
on the back of the 5big Storage Server. This is commonly referred to as “Teaming”. See the LaCie
Technical Brief on Teaming at www.lacie.com/technologies for further information.
• While changing the username is optional, LaCie recommends that administrators update the password
as soon as possible.
• Make certain to maintain the health of all the systems and hardware on the network. The 5big Storage
Server’s performance can be affected by such external forces as network activity, hardware, distance,
and setup.
1.6. Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor for Troubleshooting
The 5big Storage Server has a VGA connection and three USB 2.0 ports (see 1.7.2. Rear View) that may
be used for connecting a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Under normal operation, the 5big Storage
Server may be accessed using Remote Desktop Connection for administration. When troubleshooting
a problem related to the 5big Storage Server, LaCie recommends connecting a keyboard, mouse, and
monitor directly to the server in order to rule out conflicts, such as problems with the network.
Please attach a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the 5big Storage Server the first time it is
connected to your network and powered on. See 2.2 Startup and Login.
