Installation and Use
• Connect the power supply, as shown on the first page on this manual
• If you want to clone HDDs we suggest not to connect the Docking
Station to your computer
• For normal docking station operation connect the Docking Station to
your computer by USB 3.0 cable
• Add the HDDs to the docking station and press the power switch ON
• Wait until the drivers are loaded by the operating system – you
should then see the drives in the file manager program
• HDDs may need to be partitioned / formatted using your operating
system disk management utility before you can access them.
• Before unplugging HDDs make sure data transfer processes are
completed and that the activity light is not lit.
Using the CLONE function
• Install the source and target HDDs into the labelled appropriately bay
• The target HDD must be of equal or larger capacity than the source
HDD
• Make sure target HDD is empty and not partitioned
• Press the power switch ON. The centre LED will light up red. The
blue LEDs will light up when HDDs are connected.
• Press the DUPLICATE button for 5 seconds. The left blue LED will
begin flashing. Flashing will stop once the duplication process has
ended. Do not switch OFF or unplug the HDDs during the cloning
process!
