Käyttöohjeet

A. Data Access Mode (Connected to Computer)

1. Varmista, että telakointiasema on päällä ja kytketty tietokoneeseen USB 3.0 -kaapelilla.
2. Insert one or two SATA HDDs/SSDs into the available slots.
3. Your operating system should automatically detect the drives. They will appear as removable storage devices.
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. Valmistele asemat: 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. Aseta asemat: Insert the source drive into the 'Source' slot (HDD1) and the target drive into the 'Target' slot (HDD2).
3. Irrota tietokoneesta: Ensure the docking station is NOT connected to any computer via USB.
4. Virta päälle: Turn on the docking station using the ON/OFF switch.
5. Aloita kloonaus: Press and hold the 'Clone' button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the cloning progress LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) begin to flash.
6. Vahvista kloonaus: 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. Seuraa edistymistä: The LEDs will indicate the cloning progress (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). All LEDs will remain solid when the cloning process is complete.
8. Virta pois: Once cloning is complete, turn off the docking station and safely remove the drives.

Tärkeää: 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.

Huolto

• Pidä latausasema puhtaana ja pölyttömänä. Käytä puhdistamiseen pehmeää, kuivaa liinaa.
• Vältä altistamasta laitetta äärimmäisille lämpötiloille, kosteudelle tai suoralle auringonvalolle.
• Älä yritä purkaa tai korjata laitetta itse. Ota yhteyttä pätevään huoltohenkilöstöön.
• Always power off the docking station before inserting or removing drives, especially during data transfer, to prevent data corruption.

Vianetsintä

• Asemaa ei havaittu:
  • 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.
  • Yritä yhdistää tietokoneesi toiseen USB-porttiin.
  • Check if the drive is initialized and formatted in your computer's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS).
• Hidas tiedonsiirto:
  • Varmista, että olet kytkenyt tietokoneen USB 3.0 -porttiin. USB 2.0 -portit hidastavat tiedonsiirtonopeutta.
  • Verify that your operating system and drivers support USB 3.0 and UASP.
• Offline Cloning Fails or Does Not Start:
  • Ensure the docking station is NOT connected to a computer via USB during cloning.
  • Confirm the target drive's capacity is equal to or larger than the source drive's capacity.
  • 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.
