7.2. Firmware Update
The LaCie LaCinema Black MAX allows you to update its firmware
by loading downloaded firmware updates located on a connected
USB external hard drive.
To update the firmware:
1. Go to
www.lacie.com/support
and click on the
Downloads
link.
2. Select and download the most recent LaCinema Black MAX
firmware.
3. Save the downloaded file to the top-most directory on an
external hard drive volume (i.e. not within a folder on the
volume).
4. Connect the external hard drive to the LaCinema Black MAX.
5. Start the LaCinema Black MAX.
IMPORTANT INFO:
No other process should be running at the
same time as the firmware update, such as recording or copying
files.
6. The system will detect the new firmware file and offer to con-
duct an update (
Fig. 78
).
7. Accept the offer, and the update will begin (
Fig. 79
). Do not
disconnect the USB external hard disk during the update.
8. Once the update is completed, the LaCinema Black MAX will
restart and confirm that the update was successful (
Fig. 80
).
9. Firmware information can be accessed from the
Settings
menu. From the
Home
menu, press the
Options/Settings
button to access the
Settings Space
. Go to the Information
tab to display the current firmware version.

device. If, for any reason, the procedure fails (e.g. a power failure
