d) Hard disk cloning
• The cloning function copies the files of the hard disk inserted in slot HDD1 to the hard disk in
slot HDD2. "Cloning" not only means the copying of the existing files, but also "identity". From
here on, hard disks are classified as master hard disk (in slot HDD1) and clone hard disk (in slot
HDD2).
Hard disk capacities:
The clone hard disk must have at least the same capacity as the master hard disk.
All data on the clone hard disk are overwritten through the cloning process.
If the clone hard disk has a larger capacity than the master hard disk, the free storage
space can later be used as an additional partition.
• The USB cable is not required for cloning. Disconnect it from the product.
• Put two hard disks into the slots. Turn the product on using the on/off switch ON•.
• Press and hold the button Clone (9) for 4 seconds. The control LED Power and the control
LEDs Link, HDD1 and HDD2 start flashing in orange. Each control LED represents a 25 %
increment of the cloning process. Once the respective percentage is reached, the corresponding
control LED stays on continuously.
• When the cloning is completed, all control LEDs flash synchronously in orange. If the cloning
process cannot be completed, or if an error has occurred, the control LED HDD2 will flash or
shine red. See table "c) LED control indicators explained".

Tips and notes

• A USB 3.0 connection cannot be guaranteed for Macintosh and Linux computers.
• USB 3.0 devices are downwardly compatible. This means that the enclosure with the installed
hard disk drive also functions on conventional USB 2.0/1.1 ports – but then only at the maximum
USB 2.0/1.1 speed.
• The docking station supports plug & play and hot-swapping (device drivers are recognised
automatically and devices can be removed from the PC while the operating system is running).
• You should, however, take into account that data may be corrupted or the operating system may
crash if the connection cable is disconnected while data are being transferred (or the cabinet
is switched off or the power unit is disconnected).
• Always treat hard disks with care. Impacts during operation (also for a few seconds after
switching off) may cause the write/read head to touch the magnetic disk, which destroys the
hard disk.
• When connecting the hard drive for the first time, it may take up to one minute for it to be
recognised. The time may vary depending on operating system and hardware used.
• A new hard disk has to be partitioned and formatted before it can be used and displayed e.g in
the Windows® file manager.
• Hard disk drives for Macintosh computers use a different file system than Microsoft Windows®.
The native HFS+ file system for Macintosh is not compatible with Windows® without conversion.
If the hard disk drive is to be used for both operating systems, format the hard disk drive with a
file format that is compatible with both operating systems (e.g., FAT32).
• Note that certain operating systems do not support external storage drives larger than 2 TB,
namely Windows® versions lower than XP 64 bit (including XP 32 bit). For more information on
the support for your operating system, please contact the customer service of the operating
system manufacturer.
