4.4. STEP 3: Safely Disconnect Hard
Drive from Computer
USB external devices feature “plug & play” connectivity, which
means that your drive can be connected and disconnected while
the computer is running. To prevent failures, however, it is impor-
tant to follow these steps when disconnecting your drive from your
computer.
Windows Users
From the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand side of
your screen), click the Eject icon (a small green arrow over a
hardware image) (Fig. 34).
A message will appear, listing the devices the Eject icon controls
(it should say, “Safely remove...”). Click on the LaCie hard disk
in this prompt.
This message will appear: “Safe to Remove Hardware” (or simi-
lar). It is now safe to disconnect the device.
Mac Users
Drag the hard disk icon to the trash (Fig. 35).
When the icon disappears from the desktop, the drive can be
disconnected.
Move on to the next step, 4.5. STEP 4: Connect Hard Drive to LaCin-
ema HD Connect.
