Bought a functional 5bN2 but the seller removed the original hard disks because of privacy.
I filled the trays with 5x Seagate ST2000DM001. After that I did a reset of the box to factory default as instructed by LaCie.
Linked it up to a router, connected my MacBook Pro to the router and started LaCie Network Assistant. But Network Assistant does not detect the box. ! Started a Recovery action with Network Assistant that began promising but after about 10 minutes stopped with the warning "unable to locate and recover the LaCie network device".
I have no idea what's going on. Could installing the free firmware fvdw-sl work without "damaging" the 5bN2?
And does the console app work on a VMWare Fusion Windows VM on my Mac.
Any reaction/ideas appreciated.
