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.
• Note that some operating systems do not support external hard drives with capacities of
>2 TB. Contact the manufacturer of the operating system for more information.
•
Please note that files might get damaged or the operating system could crash, if the
connecting cable is disconnected or if the product is switched off during data transfer. Always
safely remove the product through the operating system first before switching off the product
or disconnecting the connecting 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.
Care 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.
• Switch off the product before cleaning. Disconnect the power adapter from the mains. Wait
for at least 30 seconds until all magnetic discs have come to a complete stop.
• 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.
• Do not immerse the product in water.
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.
