Aufstellen

1. Strom anschließen: Connect the included power adapter to the DC 12V jack on the rear of the docking station, then plug the adapter into a power outlet. Do not power on the device yet.
2. Verbindung zum Computer herstellen (optional für die Datenübertragung): If you intend to use the docking station for data transfer with a computer, connect the USB 3.0 cable from the USB-B port on the docking station to an available USB 3.0 port on your computer.
3. Laufwerke einlegen: Gently insert your 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or SSDs into the drive bays (A and/or B) until they are firmly seated. Ensure the SATA connectors align correctly.
4. Einschalten: Flip the ON/OFF switch on the rear panel to the 'ON' position. The LED indicator will illuminate.

Bedienungsanleitung

A. Data Transfer (Connected to PC)

When connected to a computer via USB, the docking station functions as an external drive enclosure. Insert one or two SATA drives into the bays. Your operating system should automatically detect the drives. You can then access, read, and write data to them as you would with any other external storage device.

• Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Dockingstation eingeschaltet und mit Ihrem Computer verbunden ist.
• Insert the SATA drive(s) into the bays.
• The drives will appear as removable storage in your computer's file Forscher.
• For safe removal, always eject the drives through your operating system before powering off the docking station or disconnecting the USB cable.

B. Offline-Klonfunktion

The offline clone function allows you to duplicate a source drive to a target drive without needing a computer connection. The target drive must be equal to or larger in capacity than the source drive.

1. Laufwerke vorbereiten: 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. All data on the target drive will be erased during the cloning process.
2. Laufwerke einlegen:
   • Legen Sie den Quelllaufwerk hinein Bucht A.
   • Legen Sie den Ziellaufwerk hinein Bucht B.
3. Verbindung zum PC trennen: Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the computer. The docking station must be operating independently for offline cloning.
4. Einschalten: Turn on the docking station using the ON/OFF switch.
5. Klonen initiieren: Halten Sie die Schaltfläche „Klonen“. for approximately 3-5 seconds until the LED indicator begins to flash. Release the button.
6. Fortschritt überwachen: The LED indicator will show the cloning progress. It will typically flash or change color to indicate different stages (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
7. Fertigstellung: Once the cloning process is complete, the LED indicator will stop flashing and remain solid. You can then power off the docking station and remove the drives.

Important: Do not interrupt the cloning process by powering off the device or removing drives, as this may lead to data corruption on both drives.

Wartung

• Bewahren Sie die Dockingstation an einem sauberen, trockenen Ort auf, fern von direkter Sonneneinstrahlung und extremen Temperaturen.
• Lassen Sie das Gerät nicht fallen und setzen Sie es keinen starken Stößen aus.
• Reinigen Sie die Außenseite mit einem weichen, trockenen Tuch. Verwenden Sie keine flüssigen Reiniger oder Lösungsmittel.
• Sorgen Sie während des Betriebs für ausreichende Belüftung rund um das Gerät.

Fehlerbehebung

Drive Not Detected by Computer

• Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Dockingstation eingeschaltet ist und das USB-Kabel sowohl mit der Dockingstation als auch mit dem Computer fest verbunden ist.
• Versuchen Sie, eine Verbindung zu einem anderen USB-Anschluss an Ihrem Computer herzustellen.
• Verify that the hard drive is properly seated in the bay.
• Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive is recognized but unformatted or unallocated.
• Test the drive directly in a computer or with another enclosure to rule out drive failure.

Offline Clone Fails or Does Not Start

• Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the computer. Offline cloning requires the device to be standalone.
• Verify that the source drive is in Bay A and the target drive is in Bay B.
• Confirm that the target drive's capacity is equal to or greater than the source drive's capacity.
• Ensure both drives are properly inserted and seated.
• Press and hold the Clone button for the specified duration (3-5 seconds) until the LED indicator responds.
• Check for any errors on the source drive before attempting to clone.
