Hardware Setup
WARNING!
Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially
when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may
result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that
you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer
components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large
grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
1. Using the included Power Adapter, connect the Power Adapter Port on the
SATDOCK5U3ER to an available AC power outlet.
2. Insert your SSDs/HDDs into the top loading drive bay(s). Ensure that the SATA
connectors on the SSDs/HDDs are facing the same corner of the drive bay that has
the 2.5in cut-out in the door. The label on the SSDs/HDDs should face the front of
the SATA docking station.
Notes:
•
The drive containing the data to copy (Source HDD) needs to be inserted into the
Source bay.
•
The drives designated to have data duplicated to them, or drives designated for
erasing must be placed in the Destination bays.
3. Press the power button to turn on the SDOCK5U3ER, followed by the Drive Power
Buttons for each of the bays that contain an HDD/SSD. The Power LEDs around the
power buttons will light up, as the LCD display becomes active.
4. (Optional for Docking Station) Depending on your choice of interface connection,
connect the included eSATA or USB 3.0 cable from the respective port on the
SDOCK5U3ER to an available port on your computer system.
Basic Operation
For Drive Duplication
1. Using the up and down arrow keys, locate “1. Copy” from the On Screen LCD display
and press ENT.
2. The duplicator will analyze the source drive and ensure the target is ready, by
verifying size. Once the drives have been analyzed you will receive an indicator
stating the duplicator is ready. Press ENT, and the system will begin duplication
automatically.
