2. أدخل محركات الأقراص الصلبة: Gently insert your 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD into the drive slots (Slot A and Slot B) until they are securely seated. Ensure the SATA connectors align correctly.
3. Connect to Computer (for Data Transfer): If you intend to use the docking station for data transfer, connect the USB 3.0 cable from the Micro USB 3.0 port on the docking station to an available USB 3.0 port on your computer.

تعليمات التشغيل

A. Data Transfer Mode

1. تأكد من تشغيل محطة الإرساء وتوصيلها بجهاز الكمبيوتر الخاص بك عبر كابل USB 3.0.
2. Insert the SATA HDD/SSD into the desired slot(s).
3. Your computer's operating system should automatically detect the drives. You may need to initialize and format new drives via Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) before use.
4. Access the drives as external storage devices to transfer files.

B. Offline Cloning Mode

The offline cloning function allows you to duplicate a source hard drive to a target hard drive without a computer connection. Warning: All data on the target disk will be erased during the cloning process. Ensure you have backed up any important data from the target disk before proceeding.

1. Disconnect from Computer: Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the docking station and your computer. The docking station should only be connected to its power adapter.
2. Insert Source Disk: Insert the Source Disk (the disk you want to copy FROM) into Slot A (Source).
3. Insert Target Disk: Insert the Target Disk (the disk you want to copy TO) into Slot B (Target). The Target Disk must have a capacity equal to or greater than the Source Disk.
4. بدء عملية الاستنساخ: Press and hold the 'Clone' button (usually located on the back or top panel) for approximately 3-5 seconds until the cloning progress LEDs begin to flash.
5. مراقبة التقدم: The LED indicators (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will illuminate sequentially to show the cloning progress. When all LEDs are solid, the cloning process is complete.
6. انتهاء: Once cloning is complete, power off the docking station and safely remove the drives.

استكشاف الأخطاء وإصلاحها

• لم يتم التعرف على محرك الأقراص:
  • تأكد من توصيل محول الطاقة بشكل آمن وتشغيل محطة الإرساء.
  • تأكد من توصيل كابل USB 3.0 بإحكام بكل من محطة الإرساء وجهاز الكمبيوتر الخاص بك.
  • Check if the hard drive is properly seated in the slot.
  • بالنسبة لمحركات الأقراص الجديدة، تأكد من تهيئتها وتنسيقها في أداة إدارة الأقراص الخاصة بنظام التشغيل الخاص بك.
  • Try connecting the docking station to a different USB port on your computer or a different computer.
• Cloning Fails or Does Not Start:
  • Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the computer during offline cloning.
  • Verify the Source Disk is in Slot A and the Target Disk is in Slot B.
  • Confirm the Target Disk's capacity is equal to or greater than the Source Disk's capacity.
  • Ensure both drives are securely inserted.
  • Try powering off and on the docking station before initiating cloning.
• سرعة نقل البيانات بطيئة:
  • Ensure you are connected to a USB 3.0 port on your computer. USB 2.0 ports will operate at slower speeds.
  • تحقق من أن نظام التشغيل وبرامج التشغيل لديك تدعم بروتوكول UASP.
  • قد تكون سرعة القرص الصلب نفسه عاملاً محدداً.
