Windows® 7/Vista™/XP, Mac® OS X•
i
For these operating systems, no drivers are necessary for the operation
of the DataStation in the USB mode. If you use Windows® XP, make sure
that you have installed at least service pack 2.
Free USB port (USB 1.1, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 or SuperSpeed USB 3.0)•
For data transfer via SuperSpeed USB 3.0
Current operating system with installed support for USB 3.0.•
i
Please note that the drivers for the USB 3.0 port are not automatically
installed with all operating systems. If you have any questions about
the installation of these drivers, please contact the manufacturer of
your computer or of the used USB 3.0 interface card.
Free USB 3.0 port•
Important information about the KIT version of this DataStation
This DataStation is also available as a KIT version, i.e. as a version without a
preinstalled 3.5" hard drive. Instructions for the installation of a hard drive
can be found at the back of this manual.
a
The housing of this DataStation may only be opened if you have a KIT
version of this DataStation. If there is a preinstalled hard drive in your
DataStation, opening the housing or breaking the seal stickers over the
screws of the housing may lead to problems in case of a warranty claim.
a
Hard drives can be seriously damaged by electrostatic discharges. It is
necessary that you touch a grounded piece of metal (e.g. a heating or water
pipe) before you take the hard drive out of its ESD bag!

Important information about SuperSpeed USB 3.0
A SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface makes possible an extremely fast access to
your DataStation. In practice, a data transfer via USB 3.0 can be about four
times faster than via Hi-Speed USB 2.0. This means minimized waiting times
for you and thus more time for all tasks that are important to you.
The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface of your DataStation is fully backwards
compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports on your computer. Therefore you
can use your DataStation for data transfers with computers that do not have
a USB 3.0 port. You can also use your DataStation with all other devices that
have a USB 2.0 host port, e.g. media players or games consoles. However,
when transferring data to a device without a USB 3.0 port the speed of the
data transfer is limited to the data transfer rate of the older USB standards!
For the maximum benefit from the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 technology, please
read and observe the following instructions and recommendations:
Connect the USB 3.0 interface of your DataStation to a USB 3.0 port of your •
computer. You can usually recognize USB 3.0 connectors by the blue color
used inside the ports and plugs. Please use only the supplied USB 3.0 cable!
Please make sure that your operating system supports USB 3.0 and •
that the drivers for the USB 3.0 interface of your computer have been
installed correctly. If you have any questions about the installation of
the driver for the USB 3.0 interface, please contact the manufacturer of
your computer (or, if a USB 3.0 interface card has been retrofitted in your
computer, the manufacturer of the interface card) or the manufacturer
of your operating system.
i
It is not necessary to install any special drivers for your DataStation
in able to use it with a correctly installed USB 3.0 interface. The
DataStation is supported by the standard drivers that are set up
during the correct installation of a USB 3.0 interface!
If your computer or your notebook does not have a USB 3.0 interface, •
then in many cases it is possible to upgrate it with a USB 3.0 interface
for either the PCI Express bus of a computer or the ExpressCard slot of
a notebook. If you have questions about the compatibility of a specific
interface card with your computer or notebook, then the manufacturers
of the devices can help you.
Thanks to the downward compatibility of USB 3.0, you can also connect •
your DataStation to a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 port of your computer.
However, in this case you will not be able to benefit from the higher
data transfer rates that your DataStation is capable of delivering via
USB 3.0. When connecting your DataStation to a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1
port please also use the supplied USB 3.0 cable!
Should the supplied USB 3.0 cable not be at hand, you can also transfer •
data to a computer via a suitable USB 2.0 cable. In this case, the maximum
data transfer speed will be that of USB 2.0, even if you connect your
DataStation to a USB 3.0 port of your computer. The possible data transfer
rate is always limited by the weakest link in the connection chain!
A USB 3.0 hub offers separate connections for USB 3.0 and USB •
2.0 devices. Therefore make sure that you use a USB 3.0 port if you
connect your DataStation to a USB 3.0 hub.
If you use a USB 2.0 hub, you will only be able to achieve the data •
transfer rate of USB 2.0!

Instructions for safety and use:
d
Only qualified persons may perform technical work on the product. The product
may not be opened or changed. The components cannot be serviced by the user.
e
Never expose the device to moisture, condensation and liquids.
j
Protect the device from extremely high and low temperatures and temperature
fluctuations. Use the device within an ambient temperature of 10ºC to 40ºC.
m
Never place the device close to a source of heat, and protect it from direct sunlight.
h
Make sure that the surroundings are as dust-free as possible when you use and
store the device.
g
Never clean the surface of the device with solvents, paint thinners, cleansers or
other chemical products. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth or soft brush.
o
Do not use USB cables longer than 3 meters.
p
In certain circumstances, exposing the device to an electrostatic discharge may
interrupt the data transfer between the device and the computer and impair the
functions of the device. If this occurs, the device should be unplugged from the
USB port and then plugged in again.
q
The capacity indicated by your operating system can be different than the actual
capacity of your external hard drive. Like most manufacturers of computer
hardware, TrekStor uses the prefixes for units (e.g. 1 GB = 1.000.000.000 bytes)
as prescribed by the International System of Units (SI). Unfortunately, many
operating systems do not comply with this norm and display a lower capacity
because they base their calculations on the assumption that 1 GB = 2 bytes =
1.073.741.824 bytes.
The manufacturer retains the right to continually improve the product. These changes
may be made without being directly described in these operating instructions. For this
reason, the information provided in these operating instructions may not reflect the
current state of the art.
The manufacturer only guarantees suitability for the product's intended purpose.
In addition, the manufacturer is not responsible for damages or loss of data and
subsequent consequences.
