Tips and notes
a) USB 3.0
• 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.
• Ideally, USB 3.0 makes speeds of over 100 Mbyte/s possible depending on your
computer‘s hard drive, the hard drive mounted in the casing, and the USB 3.0
controller.
• Using a common USB 2.0/1.1 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable will reduce
the transfer rate.
• 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.
•
The product can detect a PC being switched on/off and therefore turns itself on/off
accordingly. When turning the PC off or into standby mode, the hard drive integrated
in the product and the LED on the product both turn off. Some operating systems,
when in standby mode, only turn off the monitor and any connected peripherals
but continue to supply the mainboard with electricity. In such a case the hard drive
integrated in the product and the LED remain on.
• The product only supports hard drives with a sector size of 512 byte. When using a
hard drive with a sector size of 4 kB, the hard drive requires formatting before it can
be used. Please note that formatting will cause all data to be lost.
• The product supports UASP. That requires for the PC to be equipped with
Windows® 8 and one USB 3.0 interface.
• 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.
Maintenance and cleaning
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents as these may lead to
discoloration.
To prevent scratch marks, do not apply too much force on the surface
during cleaning.
• 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 cable from the product.
• Besides occasional cleaning, the device is maintenance-free. To clean the device,
use a soft, anti-static and lint-free cloth.
• You can use a clean, long-haired brush and a vacuum cleaner to easily remove any
dust.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the
household waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the
relevant statutory regulations.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of
the environment.
