Opsætning

1. Tilslut strøm: Plug the power adapter into the DC input port on the rear of the docking station. Connect the other end of the power adapter to a wall outlet.
2. Indsæt harddiske: Gently slide your 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD into the drive slots. Ensure the drives are fully seated. For offline cloning, the source drive should be in the 'Source' slot and the target drive in the 'Target' slot.
3. Connect to Computer (for data access): If you intend to use the docking station for data access via your computer, connect the USB 3.0 cable from the docking station's USB port to an available USB port on your computer.
4. Tænd: Flip the ON/OFF switch on the rear of the docking station to the 'ON' position. The power indicator LED will illuminate.

Betjeningsvejledning

A. Data Access Mode (Connected to Computer)

1. Sørg for, at dockingstationen er tændt og tilsluttet din computer via USB 3.0-kablet.
2. Insert one or two SATA HDDs/SSDs into the available slots.
3. Dit operativsystem burde automatisk registrere drevene. De vil vises som flytbare lagerenheder.
4. You can now access, transfer, and manage files on the inserted drives as you would with any other external storage.

B. Offline Cloning Function

The offline cloning function allows you to duplicate a source drive to a target drive without a computer connection.

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 SATA HDDs/SSDs. The target drive must be equal to or larger in capacity than the source drive.
2. Indsæt drev: Insert the source drive into the 'Source' slot (HDD1) and the target drive into the 'Target' slot (HDD2).
3. Afbryd forbindelsen til pc'en: Ensure the docking station is NOT connected to any computer via USB.
4. Tænd: Turn on the docking station using the ON/OFF switch.
5. Start kloning: Press and hold the 'Clone' button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the cloning progress LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) begin to flash.
6. Bekræft kloning: Release the button, then quickly press it again to confirm the cloning process. The cloning process will begin, indicated by the progress LEDs lighting up sequentially.
7. Overvåg fremskridt: The LEDs will indicate the cloning progress (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). All LEDs will remain solid when the cloning process is complete.
8. Sluk: Once cloning is complete, turn off the docking station and safely remove the drives.

Vigtig: All data on the target drive will be erased during the cloning process. Back up any important data from the target drive before initiating cloning.

Opretholdelse

• Hold dockingstationen ren og fri for støv. Brug en blød, tør klud til rengøring.
• Undgå at udsætte enheden for ekstreme temperaturer, fugt eller direkte sollys.
• Forsøg ikke selv at skille enheden ad eller reparere den. Kontakt kvalificeret servicepersonale.
• Always power off the docking station before inserting or removing drives, especially during data transfer, to prevent data corruption.

Fejlfinding

• Drev ikke fundet:
  • Ensure the docking station is powered on and the drive is properly seated in the slot.
  • Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the docking station and your computer.
  • Prøv at tilslutte til en anden USB-port på din computer.
  • Kontrollér, om drevet er initialiseret og formateret i computerens Diskhåndtering (Windows) eller Diskværktøj (macOS).
• Langsom dataoverførsel:
  • Sørg for, at du er tilsluttet en USB 3.0-port på din computer. USB 2.0-porte vil resultere i langsommere hastigheder.
  • Verify that your operating system and drivers support USB 3.0 and UASP.
• Offline kloning mislykkes eller starter ikke:
  • Ensure the docking station is NOT connected to a computer via USB during cloning.
  • Bekræft, at måldrevets kapacitet er lig med eller større end kildedrevets kapacitet.
  • Make sure both drives are properly inserted and detected by the docking station (power and activity LEDs should be on).
  • Follow the cloning steps precisely, especially the press-and-hold and quick-press sequence for the 'Clone' button.
