Tips & Notes; Technical Data - Conrad 41 33 89 Bedienungsanleitung

Cleaning
Before cleaning the device, disconnect it from the USB connection. The use of a dry,
soft, lint-free cloth is sufficient to clean the product.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents as these can cause discolouration.
Do not press too strongly on the surface, to prevent scratch marks.
Dust can easily be removed using a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Tips & Notes
a) USB3.0
• USB3.0 devices are backwards compatible. This means that the hard disk enclo-
sure, with the SATA hard disk installed, also works with conventional USB2.0 or
slower USB1.1 ports, though only at the maximum USB2.0 or USB1.1. speed.
• In the ideal case, USB3.0 can support speeds in excess of 100MByte/s, depending
on the hard disk in your computer, the hard disk enclosure with a hard disk installed
as well as the motherboard!
• For USB3.0, the cable should be selected to be as short as possible to avoid a
reduction in the transfer speed.
• To connect the hard disk enclosure to a USB3.0 port on your computer, you must
use a USB3.0 cable (e.g. the one enclosed).
If you use a USB2.0/1.1 extension cable, only the max. speed supported by
USB2.0/1.1 can be achieved and not the transmission speed supported by USB3.0.
• If you want to connect the hard disk enclosure via a USB hub, the later must also
support the USB3.0 transfer mode, in order to achieve the maximum speed.
b) General
• The LED at the rear lights up when the hard disk enclosure is switched on (Power
LED function), and it flashes during read/write accesses.
• USB devices can be plugged in and unplugged while the PC is in use.
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.
In Windows, an arrow symbol is displayed in the menu bar when the hard disk (or
other USB devices) is in use. Click this arrow symbol to „separate" the device, i.e.
to terminate data transmission, so you can disconnect the connection cable without
risking the loss of data.
• If you have inserted a USB3.0 plug-in card in your computer (e.g. if your mother-
board does not equipped with a USB3.0 port), you must check whether the plug-in
card has its own power connection. If available, it must be connected to the PC
power supply unit; otherwise the USB3.0 port will not function correctly, or too little
current will be supplied to enable the hard disk enclosure with a hard disk installed
drive to function.
• As already described in chapter „Connection" an installed hard disk requires a
current of up to 900mA to start-up.
Therefore, it is preferable to use a USB3.0 port for operation, since with USB2.0/1.1
ports (as per USB standard, max. 500mA) it may happen that the motor for the hard
disk will not start.
Disposal
Electrical and electronic products do not belong to the household waste!
