Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information.
If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this
manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property.
Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous
playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity,
moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it
from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected
to the product.
• Never move the product during operation with the hard drive installed. Movement during
operation could cause the disk read/write heads to come into contact with the magnetic disc.
This may result not only in data loss but damage to the hard drive! Switch off the product
and wait for at least 30 seconds (until the magnetic discs of the hard drive have come to a
complete stop) before moving the product again.
• Do not place the product near loudspeakers or machines that emit a strong magnetic field.
• Touch only the sides of your hard drive's housing, do not touch the circuit board. Electrostatic
discharges may destroy your hard drive.
• Make sure the cable does not get jammed, kinked or damaged by sharp edges during
installation.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm
one. The condensation generated could destroy the product. Allow the device to reach room
temperature before connecting and using it. This may take several hours.
• Use suitable padding to protect valuable furniture from scratch or pressure marks.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert or at a
qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our
technical support service or other technical personnel.
Installing a hard drive
• Carefully remove the elastic band from the case.
• Carefully pull the fastener and flip the lid up.
• Connect one SATA hard drive to the respective terminal strip of the adapter. Do not use any force.
• Insert the hard drive together with the adapter into the case.
• Close the lid of the case. Make sure the fastener locks into place.
• Carefully slip the elastic band over the case.
Connection
When connecting the product to a USB 2.0 port, the hard drive might not work properly
due to insufficient power supply.
A USB 2.0 port usually provides an output current of 500 mA.
A USB 3.0 port usually provides an output current of 900 mA.
If your hard drive requires more than 500 mA, use a USB Y cable (not included) to power
the product via 2 USB 2.0 ports simultaneously.
• Turn on the computer. Wait until the operating system has fully started.
• Connect the USB plug to the computer.
• The operating system will automatically recognize the product during first time operation and complete the
driver installation. The drivers are already included in the operating system.
In order for the drive to be displayed in the device manager and to be ready for use, partition
and format the hard drive, if new.
Contact an expert if you have any doubts regarding partitioning/formatting.
Tips and notes
a) USB 3.0
• Keep in mind that you will need a suitable USB 3.0 controller for using the USB 3.0 function. Many mother
boards integrate such controllers already, but the controller can also be added by using an additional
plug-in card.
• USB 3.0 devices are downwardly compatible. That means that the product with the installed hard drive can
also be connected to common USB 2.0 ports or slow USB 1.1 ports. The transfer speed will be reduced
accordingly, though.
• If you want to connect the product via a USB hub, the USB hub has to support USB 3.0 for the maximum
transfer rate to be possible.
b) General
• When turning on the hard drive case, the blue LED lights up.
• The LED starts flashing when reading/writing operations access the hard drive.
• Please note that if disconnecting the connection cable during data transmission files could be damaged
or the operating system could shutdown. First safely remove the hard drive through the operating system
before disconnecting the connection cable.
• Always handle hard drives very carefully. Impacts during operation and even for several seconds after
switching off the product can cause the reading/writing heads to touch the magnetic discs, which in turn
could damage the hard drive.
• When connecting the hard drive for the first time, it could take approx. one minute for the hard drive to be
recognized. The length of this time period varies depending on the operating system.
Cleaning and care
• Disconnect the product from the operating system before cleaning. Wait for at least 30 seconds until all
magnetic discs have come to a complete stop. Disconnect the USB plug from the computer.
• Under no circumstances use aggressive cleanings agents, cleaning alcohol or other chemical solutions
since these can penetrate the housing or impair functionality.
• Clean the product with a dry, fibre-free cloth.
