4. U kunt nu toegang krijgen tot gegevens, deze overdragen en beheren. 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. Drives voorbereiden: 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. Schijven invoegen: Insert the source drive into the 'Source' slot (HDD1) and the target drive into the 'Target' slot (HDD2).
3. Verbinding met pc verbreken: Zorg ervoor dat het dockingstation NIET via USB op een computer is aangesloten.
4. Inschakelen: Schakel het dockingstation in met de AAN/UIT-schakelaar.
5. Klonen starten: Press and hold the 'Clone' button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the cloning progress LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) begin to flash.
6. Bevestig het klonen: 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. Voortgang bewaken: The LEDs will indicate the cloning progress (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). All LEDs will remain solid when the cloning process is complete.
8. Uitschakelen: Once cloning is complete, turn off the docking station and safely remove the drives.

Belangrijk: 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.

Onderhoud

• Houd het dockingstation schoon en stofvrij. Gebruik een zachte, droge doek om het schoon te maken.
• Stel het apparaat niet bloot aan extreme temperaturen, vochtigheid of direct zonlicht.
• Probeer het apparaat niet zelf te demonteren of te repareren. Laat dit over aan gekwalificeerd servicepersoneel.
• Always power off the docking station before inserting or removing drives, especially during data transfer, to prevent data corruption.

Probleemoplossing

• Schijf niet gedetecteerd:
  • 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.
  • Probeer verbinding te maken met een andere USB-poort op uw computer.
  • Check if the drive is initialized and formatted in your computer's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS).
• Langzame gegevensoverdracht:
  • Zorg ervoor dat u bent aangesloten op een USB 3.0-poort van uw computer. USB 2.0-poorten resulteren in lagere snelheden.
  • Verify that your operating system and drivers support USB 3.0 and UASP.
• Offline klonen mislukt of start niet:
  • 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.
