HDD 2 (Source): The upper bay, for the source drive from which data will be copied.

Ensure the duplicator dock is powered off before inserting drives.
Carefully insert your kildedrev (det drev, du vil kopiere fra) ind i HDD 2 (Source) bay. Ensure the SATA connectors align.
Carefully insert your destination drive (det drev, du vil kopiere til) ind i HDD 1 (Destination) bay. Ensure the SATA connectors align.
The destination drive must have a capacity equal to or larger than the source drive for successful duplication.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

4.1 Standalone Duplication (Cloning)

This mode allows you to clone a drive without connecting the duplicator to a computer.

Ensure the source drive is in HDD 2 and the destination drive is in HDD 1.
Power on the duplicator dock using the Power button. The device will initially default to PC docking mode (blue LEDs).
Tryk og hold på PC/COPY button for 3 seconds until its LED illuminates red. This indicates duplication mode.
Once both HDD 1 and HDD 2 LEDs are illuminated blue (indicating drives are ready), press the STARTE button to begin the duplication process.
The progress LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will illuminate sequentially to indicate the cloning progress. The first progress LED bar will begin to blink, and as each 25% increment is completed, the corresponding LED will become solid, and the next will blink.
When all four LEDs are solid, the duplication is complete.

Video 1: This video demonstrates the process of duplicating a drive using the StarTech.com SDOCK2U313R in standalone mode. It shows how to insert the source and destination drives, switch to duplication mode, and initiate the cloning process, with LED indicators showing progress.
