Cloning Steps

There is no need to connect the data cable to the computer when cloning. Offline cloning will automatically write the contents of the source disk (A disk) to the target disk (B disk)

• Please note that all the data originally stored in the target disk (B disk) will be deleted.
• The capacity of target disk (B disk) must be greater than or equal to the source disk A disk)

1. Insert the hard disk, the A slot hard disk is the source disk (the original data stored disk) The B slot hard disk is the target disk (the hard disk to be cloned)
2. Plugin the power supply, turn on the power switch, and the power indicator is red (it is recommended to operate after 3-5 seconds)
