Safety Instructions
D amage due to failure to follow these operating instructions will void the warranty!
We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!
W e do not assume any liability for personal injuries and material damages caused by
the improper use or non-compliance with the safety instructions! The warranty will
be void in such cases!
a) General
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not permitted for
safety and approval reasons (CE). Do not disassemble the product.
• Any maintenance or repair work may only be performed by an expert.
• Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, since it could become a
dangerous plaything for children.
b) Wall plug transformer
• The design of the wall plug transformer complies with Protection Class II. Use only a
standard mains socket as the power source for the wall plug transformer.
• The mains socket into which the power adapter is plugged must be easily acces-
sible.
• Do not pull the wall plug transformer from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
Hold it on the sides of the casing and pull it out of the mains socket.
• Never touch a wall plug transformer that shows signs of damage, as this could cause
a fatal electric shock!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the wall plug transformer is
connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse
or switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that the socket is fully
disconnected).
You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the faulty
power adapter in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it any more. Replace it
with a power adapter of the same design.
c) Operation
• This product is not a toy. Devices operated using mains voltages should not be used
by children. Therefore, be especially careful when children are around.
Use the product where it is out of the reach of children.
• The product is intended for use in dry, indoor locations only. No part of the product
should become damp or wet; never handle it if your hands are wet!
Wall plug transformers pose the potential risk of a fatal electric shock!
• Avoid the following adverse conditions at the installation location and during trans-
port:
- Dampness or excessive humidity
- Extreme cold or heat, direct sunlight
- Dust or flammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows
- Strong magnetic fields such as those found in the vicinity of machinery or loud-
speakers
• Select a stable, level, horizontal and sufficiently large surface to install the converter
and the connected hard drive/ SSD or the optical drive.
• Never move a hard drive when it is in operation or the magnetic discs are turning
after switch-off. Otherwise this may lead to a loss of data! Moreover, the hard drive
may get damaged if the writing/reading head sits on the magnetic disc.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold room to a
warm one. The condensation that forms can destroy the product under certain
circumstances. The power adapter also poses a risk for a potentially fatal electric
shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power sup-
ply and putting it to use. This may take several hours.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor
pinched.
• Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
falls, even from a low height.

General information on connecting drives
• Before plugging or unplugging a drive (hard drive/ SSD or optical drive), the power supply
should be turned off. To this end, move the rocker switch on the power cable of the wall plug
transformer to the "OFF" position.
• It is possible to operate an SATA drive and an IDE drive at the same time.
The following two combinations are possible:
a) SATA drive + 6.35 cm/2.5" IDE drive
b) SATA drive + 8.89 cm/3.5" IDE drive
Depending on the power consumption of the connected combination, it might be nec-
essary to use a more powerful power adapter than the one supplied.
This might become necessary when using older drives or when using an optical drive
(e.g. IDE drive and SATA Blu-ray recorder).
In this case, a power adapter with a stabilised voltage output of +12 V/DC and a current
output of at least 3.5 A is required. The round socket (outside diameter 5.5 mm, inside
diameter 2.1 mm) must have the +/positive pole at the inside contact and -/negative at
the outside contact.
Connection of a 6.35 cm/2.5" IDE drive
• The drive must be set as "master". Otherwise the drive will not be properly recognised. For
proper setting, note the operating instructions for the drive you are using, the inscriptions on the
drive or information on the website of the respective manufacturer.
• Move the rocker switch on the cable of the supplied wall plug transformer to the "OFF" position.
• Connect the drive to the respective IDE port (7), observing the correct alignment of the 44-pin
flat connector. The electronics of a hard drive/ SSD are pointed downwards, the LEDs on the
enclosure of the converter upwards.
