During data transfers, it’s best to wait beforelaunching other applications on the same USB 2.0 port. Anomaliesmay arise with computers that have USB 2.0 controllers that do notconform to OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) standards. Inany other configurations, we cannot ensure 100% correct operation.If you experience hanging problems, proceed as follows:1. Make sure that the USB 2.0 cable is connected tightly and se-curely on both ends of the cable, from the drive to the computer.If you are using a USB 2.0 cable other than the one suppliedwith your LaCie drive, check that it is certified.2. Disconnect your computer’s USB 2.0 cable. Wait 30 seconds.Reconnect.4.3. Installing New FirmwareLaCie may periodically offer firmware updates for the hard disk.
