Hard drive installation steps

a. Connect DC power adapter with docking station

b. Connect docking station with computer by USB cable

c. Insert HDD into slot of docking station correctly.

Power on, lower right comer of computer will have a mobile hardware prompt after device

recognized, disk management will also have one.

Systems Compatible

No drivers are required for the disk dock itself as it uses the standard USB Mass Storage class

support already provided in Windows 10 through XP, Mac OS X, and Linux / Unix

Please update your usb 3.0 xHCI host controller drivers before using the device, for best

performance and stability

Windows XP can supports is 2TB and couldn’t be identified by system if over 2TB. It only

supports after upgrading the operating system above Vista (64 bit) version

we suggest changing hard disk into a GPT disk partition, or the operating system will not support

over 2 TB disk partitions.

Please note that new/blank disk drives must be initialized, partitioned, and formatted.

Mac and Windows computers cannot read Linux/Unix formatted hard drives (commonly found in

network attached storage 'NAS' devices) without special software.

Instruction for the removal of drivees

Please note: Before the removal of the data storage device, please stop all data access

may lead to damage or loss of crucial data. To prevent any data loss, please strictly follow

the steps for removal below!

a. Removal from Windows systems: Right click on the hardware or USB

device removal symbol in the status bar, click on the periphery to be

removed. When the system notification reading “the device can now be

safely removed.” shows up, you can remove the data storage.

Another way to remove the data storage is through the device manager

Partition and Formatting

If your HDD has been partitioned, please connect directly with docking station to use. It

will be showed

“

New Disk

”

in computer.

If not, in the premise of system can correctly identify HDD, you can use the partition

and formatting program come with system to do it, or third-party software (such as

Fdisk, DM, PQ Magic, etc.) to do it. (The following comes to Win7 system partition and

format for example.)

1. Right-select the computer, select the ‘management’ into Computer Management and

select

‘

Disk Management

’

, then right-click the disk name in the left region, select Initialize

the disk, then right-click in the right area of the disk, select set up new simple volume.

2. In the New Simple Volume Wizard, click Next, according to the desired partition resize

disk partition size, and select Next, specify the disk drive letter, Click Next, select the file

system, enter the volume label, and select Disk formatting way, click Next, click Finish, the

disk will be formatted. Above, the operation can be repeated according to disk size.

3. After operation finished, open My Computer, it will apper the ‘New Disk’ except the

local disk, indicated that it connect computer successfully.

Note:

a. To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being

accessed by the computer then unmount or uninstall the disk drive

from the operating system. Never remove the docking station while the

hard drive is in use. Doing so may corrupt the data on the hard drive or

damage the hard drive, docking station, or computer.

b. Please do not remove your hard drive or insert a new one while

the other hard drive is being accessed, as doing so the other drive

temporarily disconnects and this could damage your hard drive and

result in data loss.

c. The new drives need one more step to make the drive useable.

First open disk management--> on the bottom select the partition that is called unallocated

partition---> right click the unallocated partition and click extended volume and follow the

procedure and remember to select the volume format as NTFS.

Hard Drive Duplicator Function

HDD A----Source HDD HDD B----Target HDD

1.Make sure there are no connection on the USB.

2.Ensure the Power Switch on the rear is in the OFF Position and plugged in properly. 2.

Insert the HDD A in the rear near the power plug and insert the HDD B in the front.

3.Offline clone is from HDD A to HDD B. Make sure your Main Drive is in HDD A and slave in HDD

B. The capacity of HDD B must be equal or bigger than HDD A.

4. Press and hold the offline clone button for 3 seconds, the LED indicator will light up. Then

quickly press the offline clone button and the offline clone operation will start. Each LED

represents 25% completion. It is only when every 25% of HDD A is offline clone to HDD B that

such LED will remain constantly on. When offline clone operation is fully completed, all LEDs will

constant on until the device is power off.

FAQ

a. Unable to clone: Please check if the capacity of Disk B is larger or equivalent to that of Disk A.

Here the capacity means the actual capacity that can be used, instead of the one marked on the

product. For example, the actual capacity of a disk marked 500GB might be 480GB only. The

actual capacity of disks with the same marked capacity differs if they are produced by different

producers. To ensure two disks of the same marked capacity have the same actual capacity, they

should be produced by the same producer in the same batch with the same model number.

b. Indicator light stops flashing up during offline duplicating: it might because of disk bad sectors

so that data couldn’t be cloned as usual. It’s better to change a good disk.

c. After cloning, the rest capacity of B disk is showed and operated via ”Computer management -

Storage - Disk management”.

d. Why over 2TB hard disk couldn

’

t be identified by USB? Because the maximum capacity of hard

disk which Windows XP can supports is 2TB and couldn

’

t be identified by system if over 2TB. It

only supports after upgrading the operating system above Vista (64 bit) version and we suggest

changing hard disk into a GPT disk partition, or the operating system will not support over 2 TB

disk partitions.

e. Please make sure that B hard disk data can be covered before cloning data. Because once you

start cloning, B hard disk partition methods and data are completely cloned as A hard disk. Our

company does NOT undertake any responsibility for data or economy loss which could bring by

damaged data.

f. Please do not remove your hard drive or insert a new one while the other hard drive is being

accessed, as doing so the other drive temporarily disconnects and this could damage your hard

drive and result in data loss.
