Answer

■

Do I need to install software on every 

machine that I want to connect to the 

d2 SAFE drive?

No, the d2 SAFE drive does not require any special software to run. Just 

connect the d2 SAFE drive to the computer following the instructions in 

chapter 

4. Connecting Your LaCie d2 SAFE Drive

 and authorized users can 

swipe their fingers over the sensor to access the drive.

Can users change their profiles or re-

move other users?

No, because only users with Administration privileges have access to the User 

Administration required for adding and removing users and changing user 

profiles.

Are my fingerprints stored on the d2 

SAFE drive?

The data for recognizing fingerprints is encrypted and stored locally on the 

drive. There is no way this data can become corrupted or be copied. 

Can I open the case on the d2 SAFE 

drive?

If you remove the d2 SAFE drive from its case, you will void the product 

warranty.

What is the probability that a finger-

print from an unauthorized user can 

unlock the d2 SAFE drive?

It’s very unlikely that this would happen. First, the biometry technology used 

is very safe and reliable. Second, each human has his own biological identity. 

Third, LaCie has selected a sensor for the d2 SAFE drive that is known for 

it’s reliability and quality. The image quality specification is really rigorous so 

it increases the reliability of the d2 SAFE drive.

What happens if the fingerprint sensor 

is damaged?

Just return the d2 SAFE drive to the factory and use the data from one of 

your backups in the meantime. (You did do a backup, right?) Please contact 

LaCie Customer Support.

What happens if the Administrator is 

not available?

LaCie highly recommends giving at least two people Administration privi-

leges in case one person leaves the company or is not available. LaCie does 

not take  responsibility should no Administrator be available to access the 

data on your drive.

Can the d2 SAFE drive be used on a 

network?

No, the LaCie d2 SAFE drive can only be used via USB, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 

or USB 1.0.

What is the LED for?

The LED is:

On (solid) when the drive is in configuration mode.  
Off  when  the  drive  is  in  normal  operation  mode,  either  locked  or  un-

locked.
Blinking when ready for sensor input – a finger can be swiped.
