4.1 Data Transfer (Connected to PC)

When connected to a computer via USB, the docking station functions as an external drive enclosure. Insert your SATA drives into the slots, power on the device, and your computer should detect the drives. You can then access, read, and write data to the drives as you would with any other external storage device. The device supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed up to 5 Gbps.

4.2 Clone Function (PC-less Duplication)

The clone function allows you to duplicate the contents of a source drive to a target drive without needing a computer. This is ideal for system backups or drive upgrades.

1. Forbered drev: Ensure both the source drive (the drive you want to copy FROM) and the target drive (the drive you want to copy TO) are free of errors. The target drive must be equal to or larger in capacity than the source drive.
2. Indsæt drev: Indsæt kildedrev ind i HDD A slot and the måldrev ind i HDD B slot.
3. Afbryd forbindelsen til pc'en: Sørg for, at dockingstationen er IKKE connected to a computer via the USB cable. The clone function operates independently.
4. Tænd: Press the ON/OFF button to power on the docking station.
5. Start kloning: Tryk og hold på KLON button on the rear of the docking station for approximately 3-5 seconds until the LED indicator begins to flash. This confirms the cloning process has started.
6. Overvåg fremskridt: The LED indicator will show the cloning progress. It typically changes color or flashes in a specific pattern to indicate completion percentages (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Refer to the device's specific LED behavior for exact indications.
7. Cloning Complete: Once the cloning process is complete, the LED indicator will typically stop flashing and remain solid. You can then power off the docking station and remove the drives.

Vigtig: All data on the target drive (HDD B) will be overwritten during the cloning process. Ensure you have backed up any important data from the target drive before initiating cloning.
