WAVLINK 60737 Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station Instruction Manual

WAVLINK 60737 Dual Bay External Hard Drive Docking Station

Hard drive installation steps

• a. Connect DC power adapter with docking station
• b. Connect docking station with computer by USB cable
• c. Insert HDD into slot of docking station correctly. Power on, lower right comer of computer will have a mobile hardware prompt after device recognized, disk management will also have one.

Systems Compatible

No drivers are required for the disk dock itself as it uses the standard USB Mass Storage class support already provided in Windows 10 through XP, Mac OS X, and Linux / Unix.
Tips:

1. Windows XP can supports is 2TB and couldn’t be identified by system if over 2TB. It only supports after upgrading the operating system above Vista (64 bit) version.
2. We suggest changing hard disk into a GPT disk partition, or the operating system will not support over 2 TB disk partitions.
3. 3, Please note that new/blank disk drives must be initialized, partitioned, and formatted.
   Mac and Windows computers cannot read Linux/Unix formatted hard drives (commonly found in network attached storage ‘NAS’ devices) without special software.

Instruction for the removal of drivees

Please note : Before the removal of the data storage device, please stop all data access and transfer to the device, so that the storage can be normally removed. Forced removal may lead to damage or loss of crucial data. To prevent any data loss, please strictly follow the steps for removal below!

• a. Removal from Windows systems: Right click on the hardware or USB device removal symbol in the status bar, click on the periphery to be removed. When the system notification reading “the device can now be safely removed.” shows up, you can remove the data storage.

Another way to remove the data storage is through the device manager (“Computer” -> “Device Manager” -> “Drives” -> Click on “Remove” for the drive to be removed, so that the drive can be detached safely.

• b. Removal from Mac systems: Please choose the symbol for “Portable drives / devices”, choose the menu function “Remove” from the drop down menu by right clicking onto the symbol. You may also drag the “Portable device” to the rubbish bin. Now, the device can be safely removed .

Partition and Formatting If your HDD has been partitioned, please connect directly with docking station to use. It will be showed “New Disk” in computer. If not, in the premise of system can correctly identify HDD, you can use the partition and formatting program come with system to do it, or third- party software (such as Fdisk, DM, PQ Magic, etc.) to do it. (The following comes to Win7 system partition and format for example.)

1. 1. Right-select the computer, select the ‘management’ into Computer Management and select ‘Disk Management’, then right-click the disk name in the left region, select Initialize the disk, then right-click in the right area of the disk, select set up new simple volume.
2. In the New Simple Volume Wizard, click Next, according to the desired partition resize disk partition size, and select Next, specify the disk drive letter, Click Next, select the file system, enter the volume label, and select Disk formatting way, click Next, click Finish, the disk will be formatted. Above, the operation can be repeated according to disk size.
3. After the operation is finished, open My Computer, it will apper the ‘New Disk’ except the local disk, indicated that it connect computer successfully.

Note:

• a. To remove the hard drive, make sure it is currently not being accessed by the computer then unmount or uninstall the disk drive from the operating system. Never remove the docking station while the hard drive is in use. Doing so may corrupt the data on the hard drive or damage the hard drive, docking station, or computer.
• b. Please do not remove your hard drive or insert a new one while the other hard drive is being accessed, as doing so the other drive temporarily disconnects and this could damage your hard drive and result in data loss.
• c. The new drives need one more step to make the drive useable. First open disk management–> on the bottom select the partition that is called unallocated partition—> right click the unallocated partition and click extended volume and follow the procedure and remember to select the volume format as NTFS.

Hard Drive Duplicator Function

HDD A—-Source HDD HDD B—-Target HDD

1. Make sure there are no connection on the USB.
2. Ensure the Power Switch on the rear is in the OFF Position and plugged in properly.
3. Insert the HDD A in the rear near the power plug and insert the HDD B in the front.
4. Offline clone is from HDD A to HDD B. Make sure your Main Drive is in HDD A and slave in HDD B. The capacity of HDD B must be equal or bigger than HDD A.
5. Press and hold the offline clone button for 5-6 seconds, the LED indicator will light up, the offline clone operation will start. A Blue LED will flash on 25% indicating that the cloning process has begun. The cloning process is complete when ALL the lights turn solid Blue (25%-100%). When the offline clone operation is fully completed, all LEDs will constant on until the device is power off.

FAQ

• a. Unable to clone: Please check if the capacity of Disk B is larger or equivalent to that of Disk A. Here the capacity means the actual capacity that can be used, instead of the one marked on the product. For example, the actual capacity of a disk marked 500GB might be 480GB only. The actual capacity of disks with the same marked capacity differs if they are produced by different producers. To ensure two disks of the same marked capacity have the same actual capacity, they should be produced by the same producer in the same batch with the same model number.
• b. Indicator light stops flashing up during offline duplicating: it might because of disk bad sectors so that data couldn’t be cloned as usual. It’s better to change a good disk.
• c. After cloning, the rest capacity of B disk is showed and operated via ”Computer management -Storage – Disk management”.
• d.Why over 2TB hard disk couldn’t be identified by USB? Because the maximum capacity of hard disk that Windows XP can supports is 2TB and couldn’t be identified by system if over 2TB. It only supports after upgrading the operating system above the Vista (64-bit) version and we suggest changing hard disk into a GPT disk partition, or the operating system will not support over 2 TB disk partitions.
• e. Please make sure that B hard disk data can be covered before cloning data. Because once you start cloning, B hard disk partition methods and data are completely cloned as A hard disk. Our company does NOT undertake any responsibility for data or economy loss that could bring by damaged data.
• f. Please do not remove your hard drive or insert a new one while the other hard drive is being accessed, as doing so the other drive to temporarily disconnects and this could damage your hard drive and result in data loss.
