Operation
When not in use, always keep the docking station closed to prevent dust
entering the station. The docking station is equipped with a cover that
closes the insertion slot up to the opening for a 6.4 cm (2.5") SATA hard disk
drive. Always place a dry, dust-free and lint-free cloth over the opening if no
hard disk drive is inserted.
• Connect the plug of the mains cable to the
back of the docking station. Plug the mains plug of the power supply unit into a
suitable mains socket.
• If the lighting of the on/off switch located on top is turned on, push the on/off switch
down until you hear a click to turn the docking station off.
• Connect the USB-B plug ( ) of the USB 3.0 cable to the
socket on the back of the docking station.
• Connect the USB-A plug (
socket on your PC.
• Hold the hard disk drive sideways on the enclosure and align the SATA port to the
SATA plug inside the docking station.
• Carefully insert the hard disk drive in the insertion slot as far as it will go (see Ill. 1).
The cover opens automatically. If you are using a 6.4 cm (2.5") SATA hard disk drive,
push it directly through the opening in the cover.
• Make sure that the hard disk drive rests firmly on the SATA plug inside the docking
station.
• Press the on/off switch down until you hear a click to turn the docking station on
(see Ill. 2). The lighting of the on/off switch and of the LC display switches on.
• If the USB 3.0 cable is connected to your PC, the "USB" control display next to the
speed display lights up. If the USB 3.0 cable is connected to a USB 3.0 connection
socket, the " " control display also lights up.
• Now you can begin data transmission. The LC display indicates the data transmission
speed in megabytes per second (MB/s). The "USB" control display flashes while
data is being transmitted.
• Before you switch the docking station off, disconnect the USB connection by
ejecting the drive.
• After use, turn the docking station off using the on/off switch. Wait 30 seconds
before removing the hard disk.
• Hold the docking station firmly while you pull out the hard disk drive.

Tips and notes
• 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).
• 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 ports – but then
only at the maximum USB 2.0 speed.
• 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).
