The LaCie Hard Disk MAX has three LED indicators - a cool blue strip on the front of the drive and two on the back (one for each drive) which indicate the current state of the Hard Disk MAX or problems it may be experiencing.

In normal use:

• Front LED strip is solid blue.
• Front LED will flicker to indicate HDD access.
• Rear LEDs are turned off.

If the front LED strip turns red:

• RAID initialization: When you change the RAID mode, the front LED will pass from blue to red for a few seconds and then blue again. This is normal. If it continues to be red, see the next point.
• A drive may be defective. Look at the drive LEDs on the back. If one of the drive LEDs is solid red, contact LaCie Customer Support (section Getting Help).

During RAID 1 (SAFE) rebuild:

• During a RAID 1 rebuild, the front LED will blink blue. Note that this may take a few hours, depending on the drive capacity.
• Rear LED blink red.
