Physische Installation

1. Strom anschließen: Connect the provided AC adapter to the DC 12V input connector on the adapter and then to a power outlet.
2. USB anschließen: Connect the USB C to C/A cable from the adapter's USB C Upstream Port to an available USB port on your computer.
3. Insert M.2 Drives: For M.2 NVMe or M.2 SATA drives, align the drive with the corresponding M.2 slot (Source or Target) and gently insert it. Secure the drive with the M.2 mount pole. The adapter supports M.2 NVMe/SATA sizes 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110, 2580, and 25110.
4. Insert SATA Drives: For 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drives, slide the drive into the designated SATA slot (Source or Target). Ensure a firm connection.
5. Einschalten: Press the Power Switch to turn on the adapter.

Data Access Mode (Dock/Adapter Function)

When connected to a computer, the adapter functions as a multi-bay dock, allowing you to access data on up to two inserted drives simultaneously. Each drive will appear as a separate drive letter in your operating system. This mode is suitable for data recovery, transferring files, or using drives as external storage.

Standalone Cloning (Offline Cloning)

The adapter supports standalone cloning, meaning it can clone drives without being connected to a computer. Ensure the source drive has equal or less capacity than the target drive.

1. Laufwerke einlegen: Insert the Source drive into the 'SOURCE' slot and the Target drive into the 'TARGET' slot.
2. Set Clone Direction: Use the 'Clone Direction Switch' to select the appropriate cloning mode:
   • SATA to NVMe: For cloning 2.5"/3.5" SATA or M.2 SATA to M.2 NVMe.
   • NVMe to NVMe: For cloning M.2 NVMe to M.2 NVMe.
3. Einschalten: Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Adapter eingeschaltet ist.
4. Klonen initiieren: Press and hold the 'CLONE' button for approximately 4 seconds until the progress indicator lights illuminate. Release the button.
5. Klon bestätigen: Press the 'CLONE' button again briefly to start the cloning process. The progress indicator lights (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will show the cloning status.
6. Fertigstellung: The cloning process is complete when all indicator lights are solid.

Software Cloning (Connected to System)

When connected to a computer, you can use third-party cloning software to perform cloning operations. This method offers more flexibility in cloning combinations and settings.

• Clone M.2 NVMe to M.2 NVMe
• Clone M.2 NVMe to M.2 SATA
• Clone M.2 NVMe to 2.5" SATA
• Clone M.2 NVMe to 3.5" SATA
• Clone M.2 SATA to M.2 NVMe
• Clone 2.5" SATA to M.2 NVMe
• Clone 3.5" SATA to M.2 NVMe

Wartung

• Halten Sie den Adapter sauber und staubfrei. Verwenden Sie zum Reinigen ein weiches, trockenes Tuch.
• Setzen Sie das Gerät keinen extremen Temperaturen oder Feuchtigkeit aus.
• Sorgen Sie während des Betriebs für ausreichende Belüftung rund um den Adapter.
• When not in use, store the adapter in a safe, dry place.

Fehlerbehebung

• Gerät nicht erkannt: Ensure all cables (power and USB) are securely connected. Try a different USB port on your computer. Verify the adapter is powered on.
• Laufwerke werden nicht angezeigt: Check if the drives are correctly seated in their respective slots. For new drives, they may need to be initialized and formatted in Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS).
• Cloning fails: Ensure the target drive's capacity is equal to or larger than the source drive's capacity. Verify the 'Clone Direction Switch' is set correctly for your cloning scenario. Ensure both drives are properly inserted and detected.
• Langsame Übertragungsgeschwindigkeiten: Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.2 Gen2x1 (10Gbps) compatible port on your computer. Older USB ports will result in slower speeds.
