Connect to the computer

Step 0 Make sure the power is off

Please unplug the DC power adapter.
(Note) Please note that the HDD/55 □ plugging/unplugging under power supply will damage the HDD/55D.
Connect to the computer

Step 1 Install the HDD/SSD

Place the connector of HDD down in line with the SATA connector of the device, vertically and slowly insert the HDD/SSD to slot until it sticks.
Connect to the computer

Cloning of HDD

Use automatic replication function to CLONE hard disk

Pre-Use Confirmation

The automatic replication function of this docking station only supports from HDD A(copy source) to HDD B(copy target). Be sure to plug the original hard disk into the “HDD A slot”.
HOD A (copy source : The original hard disk with the data that you want to copy)
HOD B (copy target : Hard disk that data is copied starting from the copy source)

(Source) — Original HDD/SS □ Hard Disk
(Target) —- Hard Disk Copy Data from the source (New disk or disk with unnecessary data)
When using automatic replication function, HDD B {copy target) will be initialized and all data will be lost, so please make sure you don’t have any important data in it before copying.
When using automatic replication function, please select a hard disk with the same or larger capacity as HDD A {copy source) at HDD B{copy target).
The data can’t be copied correctly to a disk with a smaller capacity than HDD A(copy source).
The data can’t be copied properly if the hard disk at the copy target is damaged. CLONE will fail if the hard disk (HDD B) at the copy target is used before and part of the sector is broken, so it’s better to use a new hard disk.
If the hard disk is used, check the hard disk with your computer after copying and keep the original hard disk as the copy source until you are sure that the copy is complete. Do not delete or format data.
After self-replication, HDD B has the same partitions and unallocated space as HDD A. If you want to use the full capacity of HDD B, you can use partition management software on your computer to increase the capacity of the last partition or format it as a new drive.
