• When in „RAID1“ mode one of the two HDD/SSD drives is defect, replace it with a new iden-
tical HDD/SSD (turn off the hard drive enclosure before that and disconnect from the voltage/
current). Ensure it has at least the same capacity as the damaged hard disk.
After the power is switched on, the hard drive enclosure will start the rebuild process and will
copy all data from the existing HDD/SSD to the new. Depending on the size of the HDD/SSD
this process can take a very long time.
We recommend not to connect the hard drive enclosure to a computer during this
time.
• If the hard drive enclosure recognizes that the computer is powered off or in a power saving
mode, it will activate standby mode (the power LED is red, and the HDD/SSD drives installed
are turned off).
• USB devices can be connected and disconnected during operation.
However, you should take into account that data may be corrupted or the operating
system may crash if the connection cable is disconnected while data is being trans-
ferred or while files are opened by a program.
In Windows, a symbol is displayed in the menu bar when the hard disk drive (or
other USB devices) is (are) connected and in use; click this symbol to “separate” the
device, i.e. to terminate data transmission, so you can disconnect the connection
cable without risking a data loss.
• If you have upgraded your computer to be able to use a USB 3.0 plug-in card (e.g., if your
motherboard/computer is still not equipped with a USB 3.0 port), you must check whether the
plug-in card has its own power connection.
If such a power connection is available, the PC power supply has to be connected to
it; otherwise, the USB 3.0 port does not function properly or does not supply enough
power.
Care and Cleaning
Before cleaning the product, switch it off and unplug the wall plug transformer from the mains
socket.
If magnetic disks are installed, wait at least 15 seconds until the magnetic disks of
the hard drive have fully stopped; otherwise, it may lead to damage to the hard drive
and to data loss.
This is not required when using an SSD, because a SSD does not contain any
mechanical parts.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents, cleaning alcohol or other chemical solutions, since these
could damage the enclosure or even impair operation.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable material and do not belong in the household was-
te. Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statutory
regulations.
