5.1 Data Transfer (Connected to Computer)

When connected to a computer via USB 3.0, the docking station functions as an external drive enclosure. Drives inserted into the bays will appear as separate drives on your computer.

• Ensure the docking station is powered on and connected to your computer.
• Access the drives through your computer's file Průzkumník (Windows) nebo Finder (macOS).
• Drag and drop files to transfer data between your computer and the inserted drives, or between the two inserted drives.
• The docking station supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for enhanced data transfer speeds, up to 5Gbps, when connected to a UASP-enabled USB 3.0 port.

5.2 Offline Cloning/Duplication

The offline cloning function allows you to duplicate data from a source drive (Disk A) to a target drive (Disk B) without a computer connection.

Important Considerations Before Cloning:

• The target drive (Disk B) must have a capacity equal to or larger than the source drive (Disk A).
• Ensure both source and target drives are functioning correctly.
• All existing data on the target drive (Disk B) will be erased during the cloning process. If you need to save data from Disk B, transfer it to another location before cloning.
• Do not unplug drives directly during the cloning process. Wait for the completion notification.

Cloning Steps:

1. Ujistěte se, že je dokovací stanice vypnutá a odpojená od všech počítačů.
2. Insert the source drive (the drive you want to copy FROM) into Bay A.
3. Insert the target drive (the drive you want to copy TO) into Bay B.
4. Press and hold the Clone button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the LED indicators begin to flash.
5. Release the Clone button. The cloning process will begin.
6. LED indikátory (25 %, 50 %, 75 %, 100 %) se budou postupně rozsvěcovat, aby zobrazovaly průběh klonování.
7. Once all LED indicators are solid (100%) and you hear three 'bang' noises, the cloning process is complete.
8. Press the power button to turn off the docking station before removing the drives.

7. Údržba

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your SSK DK103 docking station:

• Uchovávejte zařízení v čistém a suchém prostředí, mimo dosah přímého slunečního záření a extrémních teplot.
• Zabraňte pádu zařízení nebo jeho vystavení silným nárazům.
• Vnější povrch čistěte měkkým, suchým hadříkem. Nepoužívejte tekuté čisticí prostředky ani rozpouštědla.
• Ensure proper ventilation around the device, especially when multiple drives are in use.

8. Řešení problémů

Běžné problémy a řešení:

• Drives not detected by computer:
  • Ensure the docking station is powered on and the USB cable is securely connected to both the docking station and the computer.
  • Verify that the hard drives are properly seated in the bays.
  • Zkuste se připojit k jinému portu USB na počítači.
  • For new drives, check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to initialize and format the drive.
  • Test the drives directly in a computer or another enclosure to confirm they are functional.
• Offline cloning fails or does not start:
  • Ensure the docking station is disconnected from the computer before initiating cloning.
  • Confirm the target drive (Disk B) capacity is equal to or larger than the source drive (Disk A).
  • Ensure both drives are properly inserted and functional.
  • Press and hold the Clone button for the specified duration (3-5 seconds).
• Pomalé rychlosti přenosu dat:
  • Ensure you are using a USB 3.0 port on your computer. USB 2.0 ports will operate at slower speeds.
  • Verify that your computer's USB 3.0 port supports UASP for optimal performance.
  • The actual speed depends on the hard drive's performance. SSDs will be faster than HDDs.
