Litaelo tsa Ts'ebetso

A. Data Access Mode (Connected to Computer)

1. Ensure the docking station is powered on and connected to your computer via the USB 3.0 cable.
2. Insert one or two SATA HDDs/SSDs into the available slots.
3. Your operating system should automatically detect the drives. They will appear as removable storage devices.
4. You can now access, transfer, and manage files on the inserted drives as you would with any other external storage.

B. Offline Cloning Function

The offline cloning function allows you to duplicate a source drive to a target drive without a computer connection.

1. Prepare Drives: Ensure both the source drive (the drive you want to copy FROM) and the target drive (the drive you want to copy TO) are SATA HDDs/SSDs. The target drive must be equal to or larger in capacity than the source drive.
2. Insert Drives: Insert the source drive into the 'Source' slot (HDD1) and the target drive into the 'Target' slot (HDD2).
3. Disconnect from PC: Ensure the docking station is NOT connected to any computer via USB.
4. Matlafatsa: Turn on the docking station using the ON/OFF switch.
5. Initiate Cloning: Press and hold the 'Clone' button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the cloning progress LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) begin to flash.
6. Confirm Cloning: Release the button, then quickly press it again to confirm the cloning process. The cloning process will begin, indicated by the progress LEDs lighting up sequentially.
7. Lekola Tsoelo-pele: The LEDs will indicate the cloning progress (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). All LEDs will remain solid when the cloning process is complete.
8. Tlosa motlakase: Once cloning is complete, turn off the docking station and safely remove the drives.

Bohlokoa: All data on the target drive will be erased during the cloning process. Back up any important data from the target drive before initiating cloning.
