آپریٹنگ ہدایات

A. Data Access Mode (Connected to Computer)

1. Ensure the docking station is powered on and connected to your computer via the USB 3.0 cable.
2. Insert one or two SATA HDDs/SSDs into the available slots.
3. Your operating system should automatically detect the drives. They will appear as removable storage devices.
4. You can now access, transfer, and manage files on the inserted drives as you would with any other external storage.

B. Offline Cloning Function

The offline cloning function allows you to duplicate a source drive to a target drive without a computer connection.

1. ڈرائیوز تیار کریں: Ensure both the source drive (the drive you want to copy FROM) and the target drive (the drive you want to copy TO) are SATA HDDs/SSDs. The target drive must be equal to or larger in capacity than the source drive.
2. ڈرائیوز داخل کریں: Insert the source drive into the 'Source' slot (HDD1) and the target drive into the 'Target' slot (HDD2).
3. پی سی سے رابطہ منقطع کریں: Ensure the docking station is NOT connected to any computer via USB.
4. پاور آن: Turn on the docking station using the ON/OFF switch.
5. کلوننگ شروع کریں: 'کلون' بٹن کو تقریباً 3-5 سیکنڈ تک دبائے رکھیں جب تک کہ کلوننگ پروگریس LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) چمکنا شروع نہ کر دیں۔
6. کلوننگ کی تصدیق کریں: Release the button, then quickly press it again to confirm the cloning process. The cloning process will begin, indicated by the progress LEDs lighting up sequentially.
7. پیشرفت کی نگرانی کریں: The LEDs will indicate the cloning progress (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). All LEDs will remain solid when the cloning process is complete.
8. بجلی بند: Once cloning is complete, turn off the docking station and safely remove the drives.

اہم: All data on the target drive will be erased during the cloning process. Back up any important data from the target drive before initiating cloning.

دیکھ بھال

• ڈاکنگ اسٹیشن کو صاف اور دھول سے پاک رکھیں۔ صفائی کے لیے نرم، خشک کپڑا استعمال کریں۔
• ڈیوائس کو انتہائی درجہ حرارت، نمی، یا براہ راست سورج کی روشنی کے سامنے لانے سے گریز کریں۔
• آلہ کو خود سے جدا کرنے یا مرمت کرنے کی کوشش نہ کریں۔ اہل سروس اہلکاروں سے رجوع کریں۔
• Always power off the docking station before inserting or removing drives, especially during data transfer, to prevent data corruption.

خرابی کا سراغ لگانا

• ڈرائیو کا پتہ نہیں چلا:
  • Ensure the docking station is powered on and the drive is properly seated in the slot.
  • Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the docking station and your computer.
  • اپنے کمپیوٹر پر ایک مختلف USB پورٹ سے جڑنے کی کوشش کریں۔
  • Check if the drive is initialized and formatted in your computer's Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS).
• سست ڈیٹا کی منتقلی:
  • یقینی بنائیں کہ آپ اپنے کمپیوٹر پر USB 3.0 پورٹ سے جڑے ہوئے ہیں۔ USB 2.0 بندرگاہوں کے نتیجے میں رفتار کم ہوگی۔
  • Verify that your operating system and drivers support USB 3.0 and UASP.
• آف لائن کلوننگ ناکام ہو جاتی ہے یا شروع نہیں ہوتی:
  • Ensure the docking station is NOT connected to a computer via USB during cloning.
  • Confirm the target drive's capacity is equal to or larger than the source drive's capacity.
  • Make sure both drives are properly inserted and detected by the docking station (power and activity LEDs should be on).
  • Follow the cloning steps precisely, especially the press-and-hold and quick-press sequence for the 'Clone' button.
