4. To safely remove a drive, always use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option in your operating system before physically removing the drive or powering off the docking station.

B. Offline Clone Function (Standalone Duplication)

The offline clone function allows you to duplicate a hard drive without connecting to a computer. This is ideal for creating backups or upgrading drives.

1. Preparar les unitats:
   • Inseriu el Unitat font (la unitat DES de la qual voleu copiar) a Slot 1 (Source).
   • Inseriu el target Drive (la unitat a la qual voleu copiar) Slot 2 (Target).
   • Important: The target drive must be of equal or larger capacity than the source drive. All data on the target drive will be overwritten during the cloning process. Ensure you have backed up any important data from the target drive before proceeding.
2. Disconnect from Computer: Ensure the USB data cable is disconnected from the docking station and your computer. The cloning process must be performed offline.
3. Encès: Connect the power adapter and turn on the docking station.
4. Iniciar clon: Press and hold the "Clone" button (usually located near the drive bays) for approximately 3-5 seconds until the clone progress LEDs begin to flash.
5. Supervisar el progrés: The LED indicators will show the cloning progress (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Do not interrupt the process.
6. Finalització: Once all progress LEDs are solid, the cloning process is complete. You can now safely power off the docking station and remove the drives.

Nota: The cloning speed depends on the drive capacities and types. Larger drives will take longer to clone.

Manteniment

• Mantingueu l'estació d'acoblament neta i sense pols. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar-la.
• Eviteu exposar el dispositiu a temperatures extremes, humitat o llum solar directa.

• Verify that the drives themselves are functional by testing them in another enclosure or directly connected to a computer.
• For new drives, they may need to be initialized and formatted in Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (OS X) before they appear.

Issue: Offline clone fails or does not start.

• Ensure the USB data cable is disconnected from the computer. The clone function is offline only.
• Verify that the source drive is in Slot 1 and the target drive is in Slot 2.
• Confirmeu que la capacitat de la unitat de destinació és igual o superior a la capacitat de la unitat d'origen.
• Ensure both drives are properly inserted and detected by the docking station (power on, then insert drives, check activity LEDs).
• Press and hold the clone button for the required 3-5 seconds until the progress LEDs start flashing.
• If the drives are very old or have bad sectors, cloning might fail.

Problema: Velocitats de transferència de dades lentes.

• Assegureu-vos que esteu connectat a un port USB 3.0 de l'ordinador. Els ports USB 2.0 tindran velocitats més lentes.
• Verify that the USB 3.0 cable is not damaged.
