Cleaning
Before cleaning the device, disconnect it from the computer. It is sufficient to use a dry, soft and
lint-free cloth for cleaning.
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 enclosure, 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 latter must also support the
USB3.0 transfer mode, in order to achieve the maximum speed.
b) General
• The Power LED on the hard disk drive enclosure is lit when supplied with power. The access
indicator LED flashes during read/write access.
• USB devices can be connected and disconnected during operation.
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 trans-
mission, 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 motherboard is 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.
• When you have to use both USB A connectors on the enclosed USB Y cable (e.g. USB 2.0/1.1
or USB 3.0 ports that cannot supply sufficient power) make sure that the two USB A con-
nectors are connected FIRST to the computer. Only AFTER THIS, should the cable be
connected to the hard drive enclosure.
• If the hard drive enclosure features a low voltage, it can also be connected to an external
power supply. You need a power supply that can provide a stabilized output voltage of +5 V
DC and a current of at least 1A. Pay close attention to the polarity of the low voltage, the centre
contact has to conduct plus/+, the external contact minus/-.
