Problem Question Solution
The drive turns on and
off when you turn your
computer on and off (USB
and FireWire connec-
tions). This is normal. Your drive has an autoswitching power feature, which means that if your drive is connect-
ed to your computer, turning the computer on will automatically turn the drive on. Likewise, turning the
computer off will automatically turn the drive off. If you wish to power off the drive while it is connected to
your computer, first make sure that your computer is not accessing the drive and then follow the steps in
section
2.7. Disconnecting Your LaCie Hard Disk . After you have disconnected the drive, flip the On/Off/
Auto button on the back of the drive to turn the drive off.
