Before updating the firmware on your LaCie network 2, Cloudbox, Network Space 2 or Network Space Max device, make sure the following conditions have been met:
- Make sure that users have stopped any transfers to the network drive
- Stop all downloads, backups, copies, and programs that access or run from the network drive
- Disconnect all shares on the network drive from every machine connected to it
Please note: Drives with older firmware may not have the auto-update option, however, after updating to a later firmware version it will be available. In the circumstance that your drive does not have the auto-update option use one of the other available update options.
