Preparation of the HDD/SSD & password programming
Caution!
If there is still data on the HDD/SSD, you must first back it up onto another drive.
When programming a password, all data on the HDD/SSD is irretrievably lost!
Preferably insert a new, empty hard drive/SSD into the docking station that contains
no data yet.
Proceed as follows:
• Step 1:
If the docking station is switched on, switch it off now (briefly press the on/off switch on the
back of the docking station). No LED on the front of the docking station must be shining.
• Step 2:
Insert a hard drive/SSD with SATA connector into the docking station from the top. Pay atten-
tion to the correct orientation of the connections on the HDD and inside the docking station.
The dust cover on the top can be carefully folded inwards with one finger so that you
can see the connections inside the docking station.
• Step 3:
Keep both buttons „1" and „3" pressed at the same time, and switch on the docking station.
The blue LED will flash.
Hold down the two buttons for about 10 seconds until the blue and red LEDs shine without
flashing. Now release both buttons.
• Step 4:
Press the button „ " and hold for 10 seconds until the orange LED shines without flashing.
Now release the button.
• Step 5:
Enter the desired password (1 - 12 digits) by using the numbered buttons. The green LED
lights up with every key stroke. Then briefly press the button „
briefly to confirm. The orange LED goes off.
• Step 6:
Confirm the desired password by re-entering it (1 - 12 digits) using the numbered buttons.
The green LED lights up with every key stroke. Then, briefly press the „
The red LED goes out and the green LED lights up permanently. The password has been
saved.
If a different password was entered in step 6 than in step 5, the red LED will light up.
Disconnect the docking station. Then start again at step 3. Be sure to enter exactly
the same password in steps 5 and 6.
If you forget the password, access to the hard drive data will no longer be
possible. Therefore, store the password in a secure location.
• Step 7:
Before data can be stored on the HDD/SSD, you must first partition and format it.
For Windows, open the Control Panel (for Windows 10, for example, see „Windows System").
Click on „System and Security". For „Administration", choose „Create and Format Disk Parti-
tions".
When setting up for the first time, you must initialise the disk following the instructions in
Windows.
You can then set up and format a partition; fast formatting is sufficient; „normal" formatting
may take a long time to complete, depending on the size of the hard drive.
The new drive will only appear now e.g., in the file manager of Windows and you now can
save data on it. Windows automatically assigns the new drive letter (changeable in the vol-
ume management).
Inserting the hard drive/SSD into the docking station
If the HDD/SSD is not yet provided with a password, then proceed as described in
the section „Preparation of the HDD/SSD & password programming".
• Disconnect the docking station.
• Insert a SATA HDD/SSD (either 8.9 cm/3.5" or 6.35 cm/2.5") with the correct orientation in
the opening of the docking station. Do not exert any force. Do not touch the hard drive/SSD
on the electronic components!
• Switch on the docking station. The blue Power LED will flash until the HDD/SSD is started.
The red LED lights up (not accessible).
• Enter the password and press the „
LED flashes a few times. If the password is correct, the red LED goes out and the green LED
lights up permanently. The data is now accessible.

Removing the hard drive/SSD from the docking station
First, stop all access to the HDD/SSD inserted into the docking station, and close
any open files. Otherwise, data may be lost!
• Activate the manual lock, see section „Manual lock".
• Disconnect the docking station.
• With a hard drive you first have to wait until the magnetic discs in the hard drive have come
to a complete standstill. This can take up to 30 seconds. Naturally, this is not required when
using an SSD, since an SSD does not contain any moving parts.
• Pull the hard drive/SSD vertically up and out.
Changing the password of a HDD/SSD
• Step 1:
If the docking station is switched on, switch it off now (briefly press the on/off switch on the
back of the docking station). No LED on the front of the docking station must be shining.
• Step 2:
Insert the HDD/SSD of which you want to change the password into the docking station.
• Step 3:
The USB connection to the computer must be established. Keep „ " pressed and switch on
the docking station. The blue LED will flash. Hold down the two buttons for about 10 seconds
until the blue, red and orange LEDs shine without flashing. Now release the buttons.
• Step 4:
Enter the old password by using the numbered buttons. The green LED lights up with every
key stroke. Then briefly press the button „
The orange LED goes off.
• Step 5:
Enter the new password (1 - 12 digits) by using the numbered buttons. The green LED lights
up with every key stroke. Then briefly press the button „
to confirm.
• Step 6:
Confirm the new password by re-entering it (1 - 12 digits) using the numbered buttons. The
green LED lights up with every key stroke. Then, briefly press the „
The red LED goes out and the green LED lights up permanently. The new password has
been saved.
If a different password was entered in step 6 than in step 5, the red LED will light up.
Disconnect the docking station. Then start again at step 3. Be sure to enter exactly
the same password in steps 5 and 6. The change to the new password will only be
effected once the same password is entered in step 6 as in step 5.
If you forget the password, access to the hard drive/SSD data will no longer be
possible. Therefore, store the password in a secure location.
The drive will only appear now e.g., in the file manager of Windows and you now can save
data on it.
Auto lock
If after 10 minutes the HDD/SSD is not accessed, an automatic lock will be activated for secu-
rity reasons. The green LED goes out and the red LED will light up. Access to the data will no
longer be possible. The drive will disappear from the Windows file manager.
To regain access, enter the password and briefly press the „
the green LED lights up). The drive will reappear in the Windows file manager.
Manual lock
To interrupt access to the data on the HDD/SSD (e.g., if you leave your workstation in the
office), just hold down the „ " button for 3 seconds until the green LED turns off and the red
LED lights up. Access to the data will no longer be possible. The drive will disappear from the
Windows file manager.
To regain access, enter the password and briefly press the „
the green LED lights up). The drive will reappear in the Windows file manager.
