Operation
Power On Switch and Power Button
The DX115-DC SATA HotDock has both a power switch on the back and a power button on the front. When the power switch on the back is turned
on, the unit will power up automatically when a carrier is inserted. The power button on the front can be used to turn off a powered up unit. The
unit can be repowered by pushing the power button (or by removing and reinserting the carrier).
