Other Applications
Support DisplayPort
- The Rocpro U35 offers a DisplayPort support DP1.1a, provides up to 4K@30Hz resolution, and is compatible with monitor and cables with DisplayPort.
- By using third-party’s DisplayPort adapter, it can be connected to the monitor with Mini DisplayPort interface.
- By using third-party’s active DisplayPort adapter, it can be connected to the monitor with VGA, DVI and HDMI interface.
Support USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)
- USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) introduces charging technology and unified cable standards. U34 supports USB-PD. Use USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable, it can provide up to 24W (5V/3A (15W), 9V/2A (18W),12V/2A (24W)) power charging to the host.
- If the connected host is a notebook that supports USB-PD (5V/9V/12V) charging, it will remain charging after the notebook is powered off or restarted while the U35 is still power on.
- If the U35 cannot be recognized after the notebook restarted, please reconnect the Type-C cable or restart the U35.
Note: Notebook will need to support 5V/9V/12V charge.
Important Notice
- When connected to the computer system, it’s prohibited to remove, insert or swap the hard drive while data transfer is being performed.
- It’s prohibited to change the positioning of the drives once the initial installation has been completed as the changes made to the drive positions may destroy the RAID formation.
- The product needs to be restarted after adding or changing the RAID mode, and the update is guaranteed to be the new RAID mode.
- When the Notebook which support USB PD function is only connected to Rocpro U35 can provide up to 24W (12V/2A) power supply, but if then connected to other power supply such like the original Notebook power supply, Notebook will automatically judge which one will be the main power source, usually the one which can provide more Wattage will be. At this time, U35 may be interrupted and re-identified by the Notebook. Therefore, before connecting to other power supplies, please make sure that there are no data accessed between Notebook and U35.
- U35 can only provide 24W at most, which is different from the original Notebook power supply. It mainly to extend the Notebook’s usage time. Take Macbook Pro 13″ as an example, the original power supply is 60W, assuming it take 2 hours for it to fully charge the battery , use U35 might need three times time. Therefore, if user need to use Notebook for a long time, it is recommended to connect the original power supply first before connect U35.
- Whenever turning off or unplugging the U35 from your computer system becomes necessary, always remember to safely remove it from your operating system first
- It is highly recommended for users to back up important data contained within the U35 unit on a regular basis or whenever the user feels necessary to a remote or a separate storage device. Stardom will not be responsible for any lost of data caused during the use of the unit or the recovery of the data lost.
