Maintenance And Cleaning; Technical Data; Tips And Notes - Renkforce 1013325 Operating Instructions Manual

e) Cloning
Make sure the capacity of the target hard disk is equal to or bigger than the capacity of
the source hard disk.
All data stored on the target hard disk will be deleted at the beginning of the cloning
process.
Bear in mind that both hard disks will have the same identity after cloning. If connecting
both hard disks to the same main circuit board, there will be a conflict of identification.
Only the hard disk in mounting slot HDD1 will be shown as disk drive in the file manager.
Solve the conflict by setting the hard disk in the file manager to "online" status. Refer to
the help menu of the operating system for further information on that.
You may use hard disks of same size as well as hard disks of different size. If the target
hard disk features a larger capacity than the source hard disk, you can use the remaining
memory space as additional partition afterwards.
• Make sure the USB cable is disconnected from the product.
• Insert the source hard disk into the mounting slot HDD1 on the back.
• Insert the target hard disk into the mounting slot HDD2 on the front.
• Switch on the product. The part of the switch marked with a dot must be flush with the housing. All
four LEDs will briefly light up, followed by the Power LED lighting up red steadily.
• Make sure both hard disks have come to a complete stop.
• Press and hold the Clone button on the front of the product for at least four seconds. The red Power
LED turns off and all four LEDs light up orange.
• During the process of cloning the four LEDs act as an orange running light. Each single LED
indicates a cloning progress of 25 %. Once the Link LED lights up orange steadily, the first 25
% of the cloning process have been completed. The remaining three LEDs continue to act as a
running light.
• Once cloning has been completed, all four LEDs start flashing orange.
• Switch off the product before removing the hard disks.
The HDD2 LED starts flashing red if the cloning process cannot start. This happens, for
example, if the source hard disk is of larger capacity than the target hard disk.
If an error occurs during cloning, the HDD2 LED will light up red steadily and the other
LEDs turn off.
f) Erasing
You may erase two hard disks at the same time or just a single one.
If you want to delete just one single hard disk, it does not matter which of the two
mounting slots you select.
• Make sure the USB cable is disconnected from the product.
• Insert the hard disk(s).
• Switch on the product. The part of the switch marked with a dot must be flush with the housing. All
four LEDs will briefly light up, followed by the Power LED lighting up red steadily.
• Make sure the hard disk(s) has/have come to a complete stop.
• Use a long, pointed object (e.g. the tip of a pen) and press and hold the Erase button on the back
of the product for at least four seconds. During those four seconds both the Power and HDD2 LEDs
light up red steadily. After four seconds all four LEDs light up red steadily.
• Erasing will start after ten seconds. In case you do not want to erase the hard disks after all, switch
off the product within those ten seconds in order to save the data on the hard disk.
• During the process of erasing the four LEDs act as a red running light. Each single LED indicates
an erasing progress of 25 %. Once the Link LED lights up red steadily, the first 25 % of the erasing
process have been completed. The remaining three LEDs continue to act as a running light.
• Once erasing has been completed, all four LEDs start flashing red.
• Switch off the product before removing the hard disks.
The HDD2 LED starts flashing red if the erasing process cannot start. This happens, for
example, if you press the Erase button even though no hard disk has been inserted.
If an error occurs during erasing, the HDD2 LED lights up red steadily and the other
LEDs turn off.
If you want to erase two hard disks at the same time, erasing will take as long as deleting
both hard disks one after another.
The erasing method used will overwrite each sector of the hard disk once with "0".
Compared to cloning, erasing will continue even if a defect sector is detected on one of
the two hard disks.

Tips and notes

• The product supports "hot-swapping". You should nevertheless make sure that both hard disks
have come to a complete stop and all reading/writing operations have been finished before you
remove one or both hard disks.
• The product only supports hard disks with a sector size of 512 bytes. When using a hard disk with
a sector size of 4 kB, you must format the hard disk first before you can use it. Keep in mind that
formatting will delete all data.
• Bear in mind that files could be damaged or the operating system could crash if the connection cable
gets disconnected or the product is switched off during data transfer.
• Always handle hard disks carefully. In case of impacts during use or even a few seconds after
switching off, the write/read head could hit the magnetic disc causing the hard disk to be destroyed.
• When connecting the hard disk for the first time, it can take up to one minute for the hard disk to be
recognized. The time can vary depending on the operating system.
• Hard disks intended for Mac computers use a different file system than Microsoft Windows®. The
native HFS+ file system for Mac is not compatible with Windows® if not converted. If you want to
use the hard disk for both operating systems, format the drive using a file format that is compatible
with both systems (i.e. FAT32).
• USB 3.0 devices are backwards compatible, i.e., the product including the hard disks inserted
therein can also work with common USB 2.0 ports or slow USB 1.1 ports. The transfer speed will
be reduced accordingly in such a case.
• Ideally, USB 3.0 makes speeds of over 100 Mbyte/s possible depending on your computer's hard
disk, the hard disk mounted in the casing, and the USB 3.0 controller.
• Using a common USB 2.0/1.1 cable instead of the included USB 3.0 cable will reduce the transfer
rate.
• If you want to connect the product via a USB hub, the hub has to support USB 3.0 for the maximum
transfer rate to be possible.
• In the event that the product is not recognized when connected via a USB hub, this may be due
to the USB hub's chipset. Should this be the case, connect the product directly to your computer
or use a different USB hub.

Maintenance and cleaning

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents as these may lead to discoloration. To prevent
scratch marks, do not apply too much force on the surface during cleaning.
• Unplug the device before cleaning. Also disconnect all other cables from the product
before cleaning.
• Besides occasional cleaning, the device is maintenance-free. To clean the device, use a soft,
anti-static and lint-free cloth.
• You can use a clean, long-haired brush or a vacuum cleaner to easily remove any dust.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household
waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory
regulations.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
