Item no. 1277996
Intended use
The product can be used to operate a hard drive/SSD or an optical drive (either IDE or SATA) via
a USB interface.
The external wall plug transformer provided is used to supply the power for the converter and the
connected hard drive/SSD or optical drive.
Always observe the safety instructions included in these operating instructions. Please read the
operating instructions carefully and keep them.
Any use other than that described above could lead to damage to this product and involves the
risk of short circuits, fire, electric shock, etc. No part of the product may be modified or converted!

Safety instructions
D amages due to failure to follow these operating instructions will void the warranty!
We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!
W e shall not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by in-
correct handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions! The warranty will be
void in such cases!
a) General
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not permitted for
safety and approval reasons (CE). Do not disassemble the product.
• Any maintenance or repair work may only be performed by an expert.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a
dangerous plaything for children.
b) Wall plug transformer
• The design of the wall plug transformer complies with Protection Class II. Use only a
standard mains socket as the power source for the wall plug transformer.
• The mains socket into which the wall plug transformer is plugged must be easily
accessible.
• Do not pull the wall plug transformer from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
Hold it on the sides of the casing and pull it out of the mains socket.
• Never touch a wall plug transformer that shows signs of damage, as this could cause
a fatal electric shock!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the wall plug transformer
is connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety
fuse or switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that all poles of the
mains socket are disconnected).
You can then unplug the wall plug transformer from the mains socket. Dispose of
the faulty wall plug transformer in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it any
more. Replace it with a wall plug transformer of the same design.
c) Operation
• This product is not a toy. Devices operated using mains voltages should not be used
by children. Particular care must therefore be exercised if children are around.
Use the product where it is out of the reach of children.
• The product is intended for use in dry, indoor locations only. No part of the product
should become damp or wet; never handle it if your hands are wet!
Wall plug transformers pose the potential risk of a fatal electric shock!
• Avoid the following adverse conditions at the installation location and during trans-
port:
- Dampness or excessive humidity
- Extreme cold or heat, direct sunlight
- Dust or flammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows
- Strong magnetic fields such as those found in the vicinity of machinery or loud-
speakers
• Choose a stable, even, flat and sufficiently large surface to place the converter and
the connected hard drive/SSD or optical drive on.
• Never move a hard drive when in operation or whilst the magnet discs rotate after
switching off. Otherwise, data may be lost! In addition, the hard drive could be dam-
aged if the write/read head touches the magnetic disc.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room to a
warm one. The condensation that forms can destroy the product under certain cir-
cumstances. The wall plug transformer also poses a risk for a potentially fatal elec-
tric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power sup-
ply and putting it into use. This may take several hours.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor
pinched.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
falls, even from a low height.

General information on connecting drives
• Turn off the power supply before connecting or disconnecting a drive (hard drive/SSD or optical
drive). To do this, move the rocker switch on the cable of the wall plug transformer into the posi-
tion "OFF".
• It is possible to operate an SATA drive and an IDE drive at the same time.
The following two combinations are possible:
a) SATA drive + 6.35 cm/2.5" IDE drive
b) SATA drive + 8.89 cm/3.5" IDE drive
Depending on the power consumption of the connected combination, it might be nec-
essary to use a more powerful wall plug transformer than the one supplied.
This might become necessary when using older drives or when connecting an optical
drive (e.g. IDE drive and SATA Blu-ray burner).
In this case, a wall plug transformer with a stabilised voltage output of +12 V/DC and
a current output of at least 3.5 A is required. The round plug (outside diameter 5.5 mm,
inside diameter 2.1 mm) must have the positive/+ pole at the inside contact and nega-
tive/- at the outside contact.
