Operation

• Place the product on a clean, dry and non-slip surface. The rubber feet (4) contribute to making
it stable.
• Switch the on/off switch ON• (12) into the off position (the half of the switch featuring the dot
"•" has to face upwards).
• Connect the connection plug of the provided power adapter to the low-voltage round socket
DC 12V (11) on the back of the product. Plug the mains plug of the cable into a suitable mains
socket.
• Plug the USB 3.0 cable's USB B plug (13) to the USB port USB 3.0 (10) on the back of the product.

a) Inserting the hard disk and establishing a connection
Before use, format and partition the hard disks.
Hard disks of the following dimensions are supported:
8.9 cm (3.5")(26 mm deep) and 6.4 cm (2.5")(9 mm deep) SATA hard disks. Safe operation
cannot be guaranteed for other sizes.
• Open the dust protection flaps of one of the two slots HDD1 (1) or HDD2 (2) to determine the
direction to the SATA plug inside. Hold the hard disk to be used on the side of its enclosure and
align it accordingly.
• Carefully push the SATA hard disk into slot HDD1 or HDD2, as far as it will go. The dust protection
flaps will open automatically.
• Ensure the hard disk sits tightly on the SATA plug inside the product.
• If you want to use a second hard disk simultaneously, put it into the second available slot.
• Switch the on/off switch ON• into the ON• position. The control LEDs Link (5), Power (6) and
HDD1 (7) and/or HDD2 (8) light up blue. If the hard disk was properly formatted and partitioned
previously, it will appear as a drive on your PC, ready for operation.
• Start the data transfer. When the hard disk is accessed, the control LEDs HDD1 (7) and/or
HDD2 (8) flash in blue. Also note the table "c) LED control indicators explained".
If the hard disk is not recognised, the hard disk may not have been properly formatted
and partitioned. Observe the hard disk manufacturer's and the OS manufacturer's
instructions for correct formatting and partitioning.
b) Disconnecting and removing hard disk
• Disconnect the USB connection by ejecting the drive just like any other USB device.
• Turn the product off using the on/off switch ON•.
• Wait for a minimum of 30 seconds until the hard disk comes to a complete standstill.
• Press the eject button (3) of the slot used to eject the inserted hard disk. Hold the hard disk on
the sides of its enclosure and carefully remove it.
If no hard disk is inserted in any of the two slots and the product is turned on, then the
control LED Power lights up red.
Depending on hardware configuration, the product will switch to standby mode when
you switch your computer into sleep mode. The control LED Power lights up red.
