Tips & Notes; Technical Data - Conrad Glossy Bedienungsanleitung

• Avoid the following adverse conditions at the installation location and during transportation:
- Excessive humidity or damp
- Extreme cold or heat, direct sunlight
- Dust or fl ammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows,
- Strong magnetic fi elds such as those found in the vicinity of machinery or loudspeakers
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor pinched.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the device, disconnect it from the USB connection. Then, wait for at least 30
seconds until the magnetic disks in the hard drive have come to a complete stop.
Using a dry, soft, lint-free cloth is suffi cient to clean the product. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents as these can cause discolouration.
Do not press too strongly on the surface when cleaning, to prevent scratch marks.
Dust can easily be removed using a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Tips & Notes
a) USB 3.0
• USB 3.0 devices are backwards compatible. This means that they will also function on con-
ventional USB 2.0 or slower USB 1.1 ports, though only at the maximum USB 2.0 or USB 1.1
speed.
• In the ideal case, USB3.0 can support speeds in excess of 100MByte/s, depending on the
hard disk/SSD in your computer, the installed hard disk in the housing as well as the USB
controller on the mainboard (or a USB3.0 plug-in card)!
• For USB 3.0, the cable should be selected to be as short as possible to avoid a reduction in
the transfer speed.
• To connect the hard drive enclosure to a USB 3.0 port on your computer, you must use a USB
3.0 cable (e.g. the one enclosed).
• If you want to connect the hard drive enclosure via a USB hub, the latter must also support
the USB 3.0 transfer mode in order to achieve the maximum speed.
b) General
• The LED on the front lights up when there is power supplied and it fl ashes 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 is being transferred.
In Windows, an arrow symbol is displayed in the menu bar when the hard drive/SSD (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 USB 3.0 plug-in card in your computer (e.g. if your motherboard 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 USB 3.0 port will not function correctly, or too little current will be supplied to enable the
hard drive enclosure with a hard drive/SSD installed drive to function.
