    Installation

Important Information before you start the cloning process:

  • The target drive (Target) must be of the same capacity or bigger than the source drive (Source).

  • If the target drive is smaller than the source drive, it is not possible to start the clone mode by pressing the button.
    In this case the 25% + 50% LED and the 75% + 100% LED start to flash alternately
    Installation

  • Cloning creates an identical copy of your drive.

  • Since the cloning process copies every single byte of the source drive, the process may take several hours depending on the drive capacity and technology.

  • After the cloning process is complete, the computer may not be able to identify both drives because they are assigned the same drive letter. To separate the drives, at least one of the SSDs must be given a different drive letter or marked as “online”. (Under Windows® in “disk manager”).

  • If only one drive is plugged into Source, there will be no action when you press the clone button (7).

  • If the target drive (Target) is bigger than the source drive (Source), you may create a new volume with the remaining space on the target drive after cloning

DO NOT connect the computer when the device is in clone mode.

    On/Off Instructions

ATTENTION: DO NOT stop or turn off the device until the clone process is finished completely!

  • If all status LEDs (3) for the cloning process flash at the same time, an error occurred as the target drive is smaller or one of the drives is damaged. Please turn off the device and change to a suitable or functional drive.
  • When the cloning process is successfully completed, all LEDs (3) light up continuously.
  • Switch off the clone station with the ON/OFF switch (5)

HINT: To uninstall the drives please make sure that the device is turned off.
