Funtzionamendu-argibideak

A. Data Transfer Mode

1. Ziurtatu kargatzeko estazioa piztuta dagoela eta ordenagailura konektatuta dagoela USB 3.0 kablearen bidez.
2. Insert the SATA HDD/SSD into the desired slot(s).
3. Your computer's operating system should automatically detect the drives. You may need to initialize and format new drives via Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) before use.
4. Access the drives as external storage devices to transfer files.

B. Offline Cloning Mode

The offline cloning function allows you to duplicate a source hard drive to a target hard drive without a computer connection. Warning: All data on the target disk will be erased during the cloning process. Ensure you have backed up any important data from the target disk before proceeding.

1. Deskonektatu ordenagailutik: Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the docking station and your computer. The docking station should only be connected to its power adapter.
2. Insert Source Disk: Insert the Source Disk (the disk you want to copy FROM) into Slot A (Source).
3. Insert Target Disk: Insert the Target Disk (the disk you want to copy TO) into Slot B (Target). The Target Disk must have a capacity equal to or greater than the Source Disk.
4. Klonazioa hasi: Press and hold the 'Clone' button (usually located on the back or top panel) for approximately 3-5 seconds until the cloning progress LEDs begin to flash.
5. Jarraitu aurrerapena: The LED indicators (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will illuminate sequentially to show the cloning progress. When all LEDs are solid, the cloning process is complete.
6. Osatzea: Klonazioa amaitutakoan, itzali kargatzeko estazioa eta kendu unitateak segurtasunez.

Mantentzea

• Garbiketa: Erabili oihal leun eta lehor bat kargatzeko estazioaren kanpoaldea garbitzeko. Ez erabili garbitzaile likidorik edo disolbatzailerik.
• Biltegiratzea: Gorde kargatzeko estazioa leku fresko eta lehor batean, eguzki-argitik eta muturreko tenperaturetatik babestuta.
• Gidatzearen kudeaketa: Always handle hard drives with care. Avoid dropping or subjecting them to physical shock.
• Seguru kentzea: When connected to a computer, always use the 'Safely Remove Hardware' option (Windows) or 'Eject' function (macOS) before disconnecting the USB cable or powering off the docking station to prevent data corruption.

Arazoak konpontzea

• Unitatea ez da ezagutzen:
  • Ziurtatu korronte-egokitzailea ondo konektatuta dagoela eta kargatzeko estazioa piztuta dagoela.
  • Verify the USB 3.0 cable is firmly connected to both the docking station and your computer.
  • Check if the hard drive is properly seated in the slot.
  • For new drives, ensure they are initialized and formatted in your operating system's disk management utility.
  • Try connecting the docking station to a different USB port on your computer or a different computer.
• Cloning Fails or Does Not Start:
  • Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the computer during offline cloning.
  • Verify the Source Disk is in Slot A and the Target Disk is in Slot B.
  • Confirm the Target Disk's capacity is equal to or greater than the Source Disk's capacity.
  • Ziurtatu bi unitateak ondo sartuta daudela.
  • Try powering off and on the docking station before initiating cloning.
• Datuen transferentzia abiadura motela:
  • Ziurtatu ordenagailuko USB 3.0 ataka batera konektatuta zaudela. USB 2.0 atakek abiadura motelagoan funtzionatuko dute.
