INGRESS PROTECTION RATING

The Ingress Protection (IP) rating is a standard for defining the types of protection supported by equipment and

devices. Users should review the IP two-digit code to understand the conditions that the device can withstand.

The two digits are independent, with each number representing a different level of protection.

Your LaCie Rugged is rated IP 54.

5: Protection against dust from entering the device’s internal mechanism.

■

4: Protection against splashing water from any angle.

■

The LaCie Rugged is also protected when it is dropped from heights up to 2 meters.

Important info on IP 54 and the removable cover: The LaCie Rugged’s IP 54 rating is valid when the

cover is securely fastened on the rear of the device. You can attach the cover when using the integrated

Thunderbolt cable. However, the cover cannot be attached when using the USB 3.0 port.

CABLES AND CONNECTORS

THUNDERBOLT

Your LaCie product features Thunderbolt technology, the most flexible interface ever created. This exciting new

high-speed cable technology connects your computers and electronic devices together like never before.

Thunderbolt technology supports two 10Gb/s bi-directional channels from a single port, the fastest data

connection available on a personal computer. At 10Gb/s, a full-length HD movie can be transferred in less than

30 seconds.

Thanks to support for both data streams and mini DisplayPort video, you can connect either a storage peripheral

or a display to a Thunderbolt port. However, it's not possible to use a mini DisplayPort cable to connect a

storage peripheral to a Thunderbolt port. You must use a Thunderbolt cable.

Integrated cable

For ease of access, the Thunderbolt cable is integrated on your LaCie Rugged. Remove the interface cover and

gently unwind the Thunderolt cable before attaching it to your PC or Mac.

Holding, dangling, or transporting the Rugged Thunderbolt by its integrated cable is strongly discouraged. Doing

so can invalidate the product warranty.

Thunderbolt technology and Windows

Windows users must connect the product via USB and install drivers before using the Thunderbolt cable. See

Getting Connected for details.

USB 3.0

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral devices to a computer. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is

the latest implementation of this standard, and it provides higher bandwidth and new power management

features.

Transfer rates can attain up to 5 Gbits/s as opposed to USB 2.0's 480 Mbits/s. This means USB 3.0 is

theoretically up to ten times faster than its predecessor.

Your LaCie drive is shipped with a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable to ensure maximum data transfer performance

when connected to a compatible USB 3.0 port. The cable will also work when connected to a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port,

but drive performance will be limited to their respective transfer rates.

THUNDERBOLT AND WINDOWS

Important info: Thunderbolt technology is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8.

computer via USB and run LaCie Setup Assistant (see Step 2 - Launch LaCie Setup Assistant). Once LaCie Setup

Assistant is finished, disconnect the LaCie Rugged (see Unmounting Your Drive) from the USB port and install

interface once the drivers are installed.
