• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into
a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the product. The power
adapter also involves danger to life by electric shock! Allow the device to reach
room temperature before connecting and using it. This may take several hours.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Only use the supplied mains adapter as a power supply.
• Only connect the power adapter to a normal mains socket connected to the public
supply. Before plugging in the power adapter, check whether the voltage stated on
the power adapter complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
• Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable;
always use the grips on the plug.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are not pinched, kinked
or damaged by sharp edges.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them.
This poses a risk of injury.
• For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during
storms.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the
device.
•
Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,

Operation
• Set the ON/OFF switch (1) to OFF.
• Connect your drive (hard disk, SSD or CD/DVD drive) with the SATA connection (4). Place the
drive on a clean, flat and horizontal surface.
• Connect the USB-A plug (3) of the USB cable with a USB port (at least USB 2.0) of your
computer.
If the connected drive does not function when connected with a USB port, use the
power adapter. For a 2.5“ / 6.35 cm SATA hard disk it is normally not necessary to use
the power adapter. The power supply of the USB port (approx. 0.5 A with USB 2.0/
approx. 0.9 A with USB 3.0) is normally sufficient for this.
For a 3.5“ / 8.89 cm SATA hard disk, in most cases it is necessary to use the power
adapter.
• If necessary, connect the round plug of the power adapter with the connection socket
12 V/DC 2A (2). Plug the power adapter into a suitable power outlet.
•
Start your computer and wait until the operating system has finished loading.
• Set the ON/OFF switch to ON, to switch on the hard disk (or drive). The indicator lamp
PWR (6) lights up red.
Never move a hard disk while it is in operation or if the magnetic disks are still rotating
after switching off. This can lead to a loss of data! Apart from that the hard disk could
be damaged, if the read/write head touches the magnetic disk.
•
When starting the SATA adapter for the first time, the Windows
®
operating system detects
the new hardware and installs the required driver. This is included in the operating system,
therefore there is no separate data carrier with driver enclosed.
• If the hard disk/SSD is already partitioned and there are data on it, then they should appear
in the Windows
®
File Manager after a few seconds. With a newly purchased hard disk/SSD it
is first necessary to partition and format it.
• During a data transmission the Active
indicator lamp (5) flashes blue.
• When the connected drive is no longer used, eject it from your operating system. Then set the
ON/OFF switch to OFF. Only then pull out the USB plug from the USB port.
