• Do not leave packing materials unattended. It may become a dangerous plaything
for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong vibrations,
high humidity, moisture, combustible gases, vapours and solvents.
• Never expose the product to mechanical stress.
• If safe operation is no longer possible, take the device out of service and secure
it against unintended use. Safe operation is no longer possible, if the product:
- has visible damages,
- no longer functions properly,
- has been stored under adverse ambient conditions for an extended period of
time or
- has been exposed to considerable strain during transport.
• Please handle the product carefully. The product can be damaged if crushed,
struck or dropped, even from a low height.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices that are
connected to this product.
• If you have doubts about how the product should be operated or how to safely
connect it, consult a trained technician.
• Maintenance, adjustment and repair work may be carried out only by an expert or
a specialist workshop.
• If you have any questions, that are not answered in these operating instructions,
please contact our technical customer service or another specialist.
b) Plug-in power adapter
• The design of the wall power supply complies with IEC Protection Class II (double
insulated electrical appliances). Use only a standard mains socket as the power
source for the power adapter.
• The power socket into which the power adapter is inserted must be easily ac-
cessible.
• Use only the power adapter supplied to power the hard disk drive enclosure.
• Do not pull the wall plug transformer from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.
Hold it on the sides of the casing and pull it out of the mains socket.
• Never touch a power adapter that shows signs of damage, as this could cause a
fatal electric shock!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the wall plug transformer
is connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety
fuse or switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that all poles of
the mains socket are disconnected).
You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the
faulty power adapter in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it any more.
Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.
c) Operation
• The product is only intended for use in dry indoor locations. No part of the product
should become damp or wet; never handle it if your hands are wet!
Power adapters pose the potential risk of a fatal electric shock!
• Choose a stable, even, flat and sufficiently large surface for setting up the hard
disk drive enclosure.
• Never use the product immediately after moving it from a cold room into a warm
one. The condensation that forms might destroy the product. A power adapter also
carries the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock!
Allo w the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power
supply and putting it into use. In some cases, this may take several hours.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor
pinched.
• Do not move the product with an installed hard disk drive when the latter is in
operation. Movement during operation may cause the write/read heads in the hard
disk drive to make contact with the magnetic disk. This may not only lead to data
loss but may also damage the hard disk drive! The same applies to the 30-second
period after the hard disk drive enclosure has been switched off, until the magnetic
disk in the hard disk drive has come to a standstill.
Installing a hard disk drive
• At one end of the hard disk drive enclosure is located a cover, on which can be found the
terminals and the on/off switch. If on delivery this is firmly screwed, remove the two screws of
this cover, using the supplied small screwdriver.
• Remove the cover from the hard disk drive enclosure carefully (on this cover, the control
board and the connecting cable are attached to the indicator LED on the front side). Note
the correct orientation.
• Disconnect the small two-pin plug from the control board, by gently pulling it out of the jack.
• Plug correctly a SATA hard disk drive (8.9 cm/3.5") onto the terminal strip on the circuit board;
note that there is only one proper position. Then fasten the hard disk drive with 4 screws on
the holding plate.
• Slide the SATA hard disk drive about halfway into the hard disk drive enclosure.
Please pay attention that the holding plate to be inserted correctly into the two slots
of the enclosure. Otherwise, on a later moment, the enclosure cannot be screwed
on.
• Connect again the two-pin plug with the jack on the circuit board.
When inserting, pay attention to the correct orientation; do not use force!
• Now slide the SATA hard disk drive completely into the hard disk drive enclosure. The cable
must not be pinched.
• Fasten the enclosure cover with the screws you have previously removed from the hard disk
drive enclosure.
