Usage
When using PC mode
The IB-2912MCL-C31 allows you to run 2 different SSDs regardless of their
brands, models, or capacities via one USB connection. Just connect the IB-
2912MCL-C31 to the computer, switch it on and the SSDs will be detected as
independent drives.
•
Connect the IB-2912MCL-C31 with the delivered power supply and
the USB Type-C® cable to the corresponding port of your host compu-
ter and switch on the device via the ON/OFF switch.
•
When the IB-2912MCL-C31 has been plugged in correctly the Power
LED will turn on blue!
•
If the installed SSDs have been recognized correctly, the LED (Target or
Source) associated with the slot turn on blue.
•
A new SSD must first be initialized, partitioned and formatted by the
operation system to be displayed by the system.
•
If the drive is not recognized instantly by the operating system please
check:
a) if the driver software is installed (USB)
b) if the SSD is initialized, partitioned and formatted.
When using clone mode
Important Information before you start the cloning process:
•
The clone function creates an identical copy of your drive – there is no
need for a connection to any computer.
•
You can copy a bootable system disk without additional software or
professional skills.
•
Since the cloning process copies every single byte of the source drive,
the process may take several hours depending on the drive capacity.
•
After the cloning process is completed, in some cases the computer
may not be able to identify both drives since they are assigned to the
same drive letter. To separate the drives, you must assign one drive to
a new drive letter or set them to “online” under "disk management"
(Windows).
•
If only one drive is plugged into Source, there will be no action when
you press the Clone button.
•
The target SSD (Target) must be of the same size or bigger than the
source SSD (Source).
•
If the target drive is smaller than the source drive, the clone mode
cannot be selected by pressing the button. The device will indicate that
by not showing flashing LEDs.
•
If the target drive (Target) is bigger than the source drive (Source), you
may create a new volume with the remaining space on the target drive
after cloning.
The SSDs will not show up in the operating system as drives, the clone mode
will work without an active PC connection.
Important
: Make sure that the source SSD is installed in the "Source" bay
and the target SSD in the "Target" bay.
