3. Configuració i instal·lació

3.1 Installing M.2 NVMe SSDs

1. Gently slide open the enclosure cover to access the M.2 slots.
2. Insert your M.2 NVMe SSDs into the designated slots (Source and Target). Ensure the SSDs are fully seated.
3. Secure the SSDs using the provided rubber plugs or screws, depending on the SSD length (supports 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 form factors).
4. Apply the thermal silicone pads onto the SSDs for optimal heat dissipation.
5. Tanqueu bé la tapa de la carcassa.

3.2 Connexió de potència

Connect the provided 5V/4A power adapter to the DC input port on the enclosure and then to a power outlet. The external power supply is crucial for stable operation, especially during cloning.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Offline Cloning (Stand-alone Duplication)

This feature allows you to clone an M.2 NVMe SSD without connecting the enclosure to a computer.

1. Preparació:
   • Ensure the enclosure is NO connected to any computer.
   • Inseriu el Font M.2 NVMe SSD into the 'Source' slot.
   • Inseriu el Objectiu M.2 NVMe SSD into the 'Target' slot.
   • Important: The capacity of the Target SSD must be equal to or larger than the Source SSD. All data on the Target SSD will be overwritten during the cloning process.
   • Connect the 5V/4A power adapter to the enclosure and a power outlet.
2. Iniciar la clonació:
   • Premeu i aguantar the 'START' button on the enclosure.
   • While holding the 'START' button, turn on the power switch.
   • Continue to hold the 'START' button until the 25% progress indicator LED begins to blink. This typically takes 15-20 seconds after the initial power-on sequence where all four LEDs light up and then turn off.
   • Once the 25% LED is blinking, you can release the 'START' button.
3. Seguiment del progrés:
   • The progress indicator LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will illuminate sequentially to show the cloning status.
   • When all four LEDs are solid (100%), the cloning process is complete.
4. Finalització:
   • Once cloning is finished, turn off the power switch and safely remove the SSDs.

4.2 Online Enclosure Mode (Connecting to PC)

The enclosure can be used as an external dual-bay M.2 NVMe SSD docking station.

1. Ensure SSDs are properly installed in the enclosure.
2. Connect the 5V/4A power adapter to the enclosure and a power outlet.
3. Connect the enclosure to your computer using either the USB-C to USB-C cable or the USB-C to USB-A cable. For optimal performance (up to 10Gbps), use the USB-C to USB-C cable with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 compatible port on your PC.
4. The SSDs will appear as external drives on your computer. You may need to initialize and format new SSDs via your operating system's disk management utility before use.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Dissipació de calor

The enclosure features an all-aluminum design and includes thermal silicone pads to facilitate heat dissipation from the NVMe SSDs. While operating, especially during intensive tasks like cloning or large data transfers, the enclosure may become warm. This is normal and indicates effective heat transfer. Ensure adequate airflow around the device.

5.2 Atenció general

• Mantingueu el dispositiu net i lliure de pols. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar-lo.
• Eviteu exposar el dispositiu a temperatures extremes, humitat o llum solar directa.
• No deixeu caure ni sotmeti el dispositiu a impactes forts.

6. Solució De Problemes

6.1 Cloning Issues

• Cloning Fails or Stops:
  • Target Disk Capacity: Ensure the target disk's actual capacity is equal to or greater than the source disk's actual capacity. Even a single byte less can cause failure.
  • Holding START Button: Make sure you press and aguantar the 'START' button continuously until the 25% progress LED starts blinking, then release. Releasing too early will prevent cloning from starting.
  • No PC Connection: The enclosure must not be connected to a computer during offline cloning.
  • Bad Sectors: If the source SSD contains bad sectors, the cloning process may stop. Scan the SSD for errors before attempting to clone.
  • SSD Initialization: For new target NVMe SSDs, it is recommended to initialize them and ensure they are 'online' in Disk Management before cloning, if using them in enclosure mode first.

6.2 Problemes de connexió i rendiment

• Dispositiu no reconegut:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and providing power.
  • Try a different USB cable or USB port on your computer.
  • Verify that the SSDs are correctly seated in their slots.
• Transferència lenta de dades:
  • Ensure you are using a USB 3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps) compatible port on your computer. Older USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports will result in lower speeds.
  • Use the provided USB-C to USB-C cable for best performance.
  • Check the performance of your SSDs; slower SSDs will limit transfer speeds.
