Application
The Docking and Clone Station can be connected to or disconnected from the computer
without shutting down the computer.
Please await the end of read, write and clone operations before disconnecting the
enclosure to avoid data loss.
Usage
Choose your desired working mode of the Docking and Clone Station through the switch
on the front. You can choose between PC and clone mode. To switch from clone mode
to PC mode, simply select the desired position of the switch and press the „Reset“ button.
The SSDs are then registered in the operating system. If you are in PC mode and select the
switch position „Clone” simply press the „Reset“ button. The SSDs will be logged out and
the clone process can be started. Disconnecting the USB or power supply connection is
not necessary.
...when using PC mode
The IB-2812CL-U3 allows you to run two different SSDs regardless their brands, models,
or capacities via one USB connection. Just connect the IB-2812CL-U3 to the computer and
the SSDs will be detected as independent drives.
• Connect the IB-2812CL-U3 via the delivered cable to the corresponding port of your
host computer.
• When the IB-2812CL-U3 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 flashes green.
• A new SSD must first be initialized, partitioned and formatted by the operation system
to be displayed by the system.
• If the drive isn’t recognized instantly by the operating system please check:
• if the driver software is installed (USB),
• 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
– no need to connect 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 reacts by not using 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.
