b) AC adapter
• The design of the plug-in power adapter complies with IEC Protection Class II
(double insulated electrical appliances). Use only a standard mains socket as the
power source for the power adapter.
• The power socket into which the power adapter is inserted must be easily ac-
cessible.
• Use only the power adapter provided to power the docking station.
• Do not pull the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable. Hold
it on the sides of the casing and pull it out of the mains socket.
• Never touch a power adapter that shows signs of damage, as this could cause a
fatal electric shock!
First, switch off the mains voltage to the socket to which the power adapter is con-
nected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or, for example, remove the
safety fuse or switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that the
socket is fully disconnected).
You can then unplug the power adapter from the mains socket. Dispose of the
faulty power adapter in an environmentally friendly way, do not use it any more.
Replace it with a power adapter of the same design.
c) Operation
• The product is only intended for use in dry indoor locations. No part of the product
should become damp or wet; never handle it if your hands are wet!
• Power adapters pose the potential risk of a fatal electric shock!
• Choose a stable, even, flat and sufficiently large surface for setting up the docking
station.
• Never use the product immediately after moving it from a cold room into a warm
one. The condensation that forms may damage the product under certain circum-
stances. A power unit also carries the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature before connecting it to the power
supply and putting it into use. In some cases, this may take several hours.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked nor
pinched.
• Do not move the product with a hard disc installed when the disc is in use. Move-
ment during operation may cause the read/write heads in the hard drive to make
contact with the magnetic disk. This may not only lead to data loss but may also
damage the hard drive! The same applies to the 30-second period after the dock-
ing station has been switched off, until the magnetic disk in the hard disk drive has
come to a standstill.
Of course, this does not apply to SSDs because they have no moving parts.
Getting started
• Place the docking station on a level, firm and sufficiently large area.
The docking station with the HDD installed must not tip over; this can damage the
HDD installed (especially when the docking station is switched on and the HDD is in
use).
Protect valuable furniture surfaces by using a suitable mat to prevent scratches or
pressure points.
• Switch off the docking station (switch position “O” = off).
• Connect the round low voltage plug from the enclosed power adapter to the corresponding
jack on the back of the docking station.
• Connect the power adapter to the mains voltage; i.e. plug it into a mains socket.
Inserting the hard drive/SSD into the docking station
• Disconnect the docking station.
• Insert a SATA hard drive/SSD (either 8.9 cm/3.5” or 6.35 cm/2.5”) with the correct orientation
in the opening of the docking station. Do not exert any force. Do not touch the hard drive/SSD
on the electronic components!
The dust cover on the top can be carefully folded inwards with one finger so that you
are able see the connections inside the docking station.
• Switch on the docking station. The red Power LED lights up.
The LED “SOURCE” or “TARGET” lights up, if a HDD/SSD is installed in the respec-
tive slot. The respective LED flashes during read/write processes.
