Start-up
After connecting the docking station (either via USB or via eSATA), and after the insertion
of a hard disk, the docking station can be activated (switch position „I" = „ON").
Windows automatically recognises new hardware when they are first detected and
installs the necessary drivers (integrated components of the operating system).
If the hard disk is completely new, and if the hard disk is not partitioned and
formatted, it will not appear in the Windows file manager. This is normal.
See section, „Partitioning / Formatting the Hard Drive".
Attention - important information for eSATA operation:
Depending on the SATA controller used, or on the motherboard, the docking
station or SATA hard disk might not be recognised if it is plugged in with the
operating system running.
If the hard disk is already partitioned/formatted the hard disk will now
appear in the Windows file manager. If the hard disk, however, is empty/not
partitioned, please refer to the following section „Partitioning / Formatting
the Hard Drive".
Partitioning / Formatting the Hard Drive
If a new hard disk is inserted in the docking station, it has to be partitioned
first and then formatted before it can be use, e.g. appear in the Windows file
manager.
• Partition and format the disk in the computer management. If necessary, consult
the online help.
Cleaning
First, turn off the docking station and extract the inserted hard disk, if necessary.
Disconnect the wall plug transformer from the mains socket.
Use a clean, dry soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents as
these may result in discoloration of the enclosure.
Tips & Notes
a) USB operation
• USB2.0 devices are backwards compatible. This means that the USB2.0 integrated
in the hard disk drive can also function with conventional „slow" USB1.1 ports, but
then only at the maximum USB1.1 speed (effective max. ca. 1MByte/s).
With USB2.0 several MBytes/s are possible, depending on the motherboard/PC.
b) eSATA operation
• As described in the section „Start-up", depending on the SATA controller used, or
on the motherboard, the docking station or SATA hard disk might not be recognised
if it is plugged in while the operating system is running.
You will have to shutdown the operating system completely and restart the computer
before the docking station with the inserted SATA hard disk is recognised.
If the hard disk is already partitioned/formatted, the hard disk will now appear in the
Windows file manager. If the hard disk, however, is empty/not partitioned, please
refer to the following section „Partitioning / Formatting the Hard Drive".
c) General
• Always treat hard disks with care. Impacts during operation (also for a few seconds
after switching off) may cause the write/read head to touch the magnetic disk,
which destroys the hard disk!
Therefore, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the docking station before
extracting the hard disk.
• Do not move the docking station/hard disk drive when it is switched on.
• The docking station must be placed on a stable surface free from vibrations.
Handling
• When setting up the product, make sure that the cables are neither kinked
nor pinched.
• Only use in dry indoor locations. The product must not get damp or wet!
Danger of a lethal electric shock!
• Avoid the following unfavourable environmental conditions at the
installation location and during transportation:
- Damp or excess air humidity
- Extreme cold (<0°C) or heat (>45°C), direct sunlight,
- Dust or flammable gases, fumes or solvents
- Strong vibrations, impacts or blows,
- Strong magnetic fields such as those found close to machinery or loud-
speakers
• Never use the product immediately after it has been taken from a cold
room to a warm one. The condensation that forms might destroy your unit.
In addition, there is a risk of a fatal electric shock.
Allow the product to reach room temperature, before connecting it to the
power supply and putting it in to use. This may take several hours.
• Ensure that the insulation for the entire product is neither damaged nor
destroyed.
• Check the product for damage before each use!
If you detect any damage, DO NOT connect the product to the mains
supply! This presents a danger to life!
• It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if
- the device is visibly damaged,
- the device does not operate any longer and
- the unit was stored under unfavourable conditions for a long period of
time or
- it has been subjected to considerable stress in transit.
• Any service or repair work must only be carried out by authorised
personnel.
Disposal
Please dispose of the device when it is no longer of use, according to the
current statutory requirements.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the
environment.
