Istruzioni per l'uso

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.

• Assicurati che la docking station sia accesa e collegata al computer.
• Insert the SATA drive(s) into the bays.
• The drives will appear as removable storage in your computer's file esploratore.
• For safe removal, always eject the drives through your operating system before powering off the docking station or disconnecting the USB cable.

B. Funzione di clonazione offline

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. Preparare le unità: 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. Inserire le unità:
   • Inserire il Unità sorgente in Baia A.
   • Inserire il Unità di destinazione in Baia B.
3. Disconnetti dal PC: Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the computer. The docking station must be operating independently for offline cloning.
4. Accensione: Turn on the docking station using the ON/OFF switch.
5. Avvia Clone: Premere e tenere premuto il tasto Pulsante Clona for approximately 3-5 seconds until the LED indicator begins to flash. Release the button.
6. Monitorare i progressi: 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. Completamento: 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.

Manutenzione

• Conservare la docking station in un ambiente pulito e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta e da temperature estreme.
• Evitare di far cadere o sottoporre il dispositivo a forti impatti.
• Pulire l'esterno con un panno morbido e asciutto. Non utilizzare detergenti liquidi o solventi.
• Assicurare una ventilazione adeguata attorno al dispositivo durante il funzionamento.

Risoluzione dei problemi

Drive Not Detected by Computer

• Assicurarsi che la docking station sia accesa e che il cavo USB sia collegato saldamente sia alla docking station che al computer.
• Prova a connetterti a un'altra porta USB del tuo computer.
• Verificare che il disco rigido sia correttamente inserito nell'alloggiamento.
• Controllare Gestione disco (Windows) o Utility Disco (macOS) per verificare se l'unità è riconosciuta ma non formattata o non allocata.
• 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.
• Verificare che la capacità dell'unità di destinazione sia uguale o superiore alla capacità dell'unità di origine.
• 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.
