5. Betjeningsvejledning
5.1. Data Transfer Mode (Connected to PC)
When connected to a computer via the USB cable, the docking station functions as an external hard drive enclosure. The inserted drives will appear as removable storage devices on your computer.
- Sørg for, at dockingstationen er tændt og tilsluttet din computer.
- Insert one or two SATA HDDs/SSDs into the slots.
- The drives will be detected by your operating system (Windows, Mac OS, Linux). You can then access, copy, or move fileligesom du ville gøre med ethvert andet eksternt drev.
- To safely remove drives, always eject them from your operating system before physically removing them from the docking station or powering off the unit.

5.2. Offline klonfunktion
The offline clone function allows you to duplicate a source hard drive to a target hard drive without connecting to a computer. This is ideal for system backups or drive upgrades.
Vigtig: The target hard drive's capacity must be equal to or greater than the source hard drive's capacity for the cloning process to succeed. Data on the target drive will be overwritten.- Forberedelse:
- Ensure the docking station is powered OFF and disconnected from any computer.
- Insert the source hard drive (the drive you want to copy FROM) into the "HDD 1 (SOURCE)" slot.
- Insert the target hard drive (the drive you want to copy TO) into the "HDD 2 (TARGET)" slot.
- Verify that the target drive's capacity is sufficient.
- Start kloning:
- Power ON the docking station.
- Double-click the "CLONE" button on the front panel. The 20% blue indicator light will begin to blink, signifying that the cloning process has started.
- Overvåg fremskridt:
- The progression (%) LEDs (20%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will illuminate sequentially as data is copied.
- Once a percentage is reached, its corresponding LED will stop blinking and remain solid.
- When the cloning process is 100% complete, all indicator lights will be solid blue.
- Færdiggørelse: Once cloning is complete, power OFF the docking station before removing the hard drives.

7. Fejlfinding
Hvis du støder på problemer med din dockingstation, kan du se følgende almindelige problemer og løsninger:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Dockingstationen tænder ikke. | Power adapter not connected or faulty; power switch is OFF. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the docking station and a working power outlet. Check that the ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position. |
| Hard drive not recognized by computer. | USB cable not connected properly; drive not seated correctly; drive unformatted or corrupted. | Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the docking station and the computer. Re-insert the hard drive, ensuring it is firmly seated. Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) to see if the drive is detected but unformatted or requires initialization. |
| Offline cloning fails or does not start. | Target drive capacity is smaller than source drive; CLONE button not double-clicked; drives not properly inserted. | Ensure the target drive's capacity is equal to or larger than the source drive. Double-click the CLONE button firmly. Verify both source and target drives are correctly inserted into their respective slots. Ensure the docking station is disconnected from any computer during offline cloning. |
| Langsomme dataoverførselshastigheder. | Not using a USB 3.0 port; UASP not enabled (system dependent); drive performance limitations. | Connect the docking station to a USB 3.0 (blue port) or USB-C port on your computer. Ensure your operating system and drivers support UASP. Note that actual speeds depend on the hard drive's performance. |
