Instruccions de funcionament

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.

• Ensure the docking station is powered on and connected to your computer.
• Insert the SATA drive(s) into the bays.
• The drives will appear as removable storage in your computer's file explorador.
• For safe removal, always eject the drives through your operating system before powering off the docking station or disconnecting the USB cable.

B. Offline Clone Function

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. Preparar les unitats: 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. Inserir unitats:
   • Inseriu el Unitat font a Badia A.
   • Inseriu el target Drive a Badia B.
3. Desconnectar del PC: Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the computer. The docking station must be operating independently for offline cloning.
4. Encès: Turn on the docking station using the ON/OFF switch.
5. Iniciar clon: Manteniu premut el botó Botó de clonació for approximately 3-5 seconds until the LED indicator begins to flash. Release the button.
6. Supervisar el progrés: 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. Finalització: 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.
