Inserting a Hard Disk
1.
First, switch off the docking station (on/off switch on the top, the power LED is off).
2.
Insert a 8.89 cm (3.5") or 2.5 SATA hard disk vertically into the upper opening, so that the terminal block of
the SATA hard disk fits exactly on to the plugs inside the docking station (if you press the dust cover slightly
with a finger, you can see the plugs inside the docking station).
Do not exert force during insertion! However, the terminal blocks on the SATA hard disk must
lock into place.
3.
Switch on the docking station.
A new hard disk has to be partitioned and formatted before it can be used and displayed.
If you use an eSATA connection then you may need to restart the system.
4.
Press the LED button (3) at the back of the dock station for the blue LED on the base.
7.
Ejecting a hard disk
1.
First, switch off the docking station (on/off switch on the top, the power LED is off).
2.
Wait at least 30 seconds, so that the magnetic disks can come to rest.
3.
Pressing the left eject button causes a lever to lift up the hard disk mechanically and unlocks the hard disk.
This may be a bit stiff for 8.89 cm (3.5") SATA hard disks. You can also pull out the hard disks manually,
without pressing the eject button.
8.
Cleaning
Use a clean, dry soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents as these may result in
discoloration of the housing.
9.
Tips & Notes
•
USB2.0 devices are backwards compatible. This means that the USB2.0 integrated in the hard disk drive can
also function with conventional "slow" USB1.1 ports, but then only at the maximum USB1.1 speed (effective
max. ca. 1MByte/s). With USB2.0 several MBytes/s are possible, depending on the motherboard/PC.
•
Always treat hard disks with care. Impacts during operation (also for a few seconds after switching off) may
cause the write/read head to touch the magnetic disk, which destroys the hard disk!
10.
Disposal
In order to preserve, protect and improve the quality of environment, protect human health and
utilise natural resources prudently and rationally, the user should return unserviceable product to
relevant facilities in accordance with statutory regulations.
The crossed-out wheeled bin indicates the product needs to be disposed separately and not as
municipal waste.
