OverviewEnglish

The LINDY USB & eSATA HDD Docking & Clone Station can be used as both a dual HDD SATA docking station and a HDD cloning station.

The HDD Cloning function should be used standalone and creates a bit by bit clone of the source HDD onto the target HDD.

The HDD Docking function can be used when connected via USB 2.0 or eSATA, allowing easy data transfer between the computer and HDDs.

For correct operation via eSATA, an eSATA II 3Gbps port with full support for the port multiplier function and the latest available drivers is mandatory! When transferring large volumes of data it is recommended that the eSATA connection is used due to the superior transfer rate.

Installation and Use

English

If you want to clone HDDs we suggest not to connect the Docking Station to your computer

For normal docking station operation connect the Docking Station to your computer either by USB or eSATA cable

Add the HDDs to the docking station and press the power switch ON

Wait until the drivers are loaded by the operating system – you should then see the drives in the file manager program

HDDs may need to be partitioned / formatted using your operating system disk management utility before you can access them.

Before unplugging HDDs make sure data transfer processes are completed and that the activity light is not lit.

Using the CLONE function

English

Install the source and target HDDs into the labelled appropriately bay

The target HDD must be of equal or larger capacity than the source

HDD

Make sure target HDD is empty and not partitioned

Press the power switch ON. The centre LED will light up red

Press the DUPLICATE button. The centre LED will begin flashing red

Wait 5 seconds until the flashing stops and press the DUPLICATE button again to confirm

The activity LEDs will light up blue during the whole duplication process. Do not switch OFF or unplug the HDDs!

When the duplication process is completed all LEDs will go out and the Clone Station will switch off.

Trouble Shooting

English

If you are experiencing problems with eSATA please make sure to use fully compatible eSATA II ports with full support for the port multiplier function and having installed the most up to date drivers!

Please also switch on the docking station only after the system has fully booted up and follow the installation procedure as described above.

In case this does not work your operating system, drivers and computer may not support the eSATA hot plug function correctly. In this case try to update your hardware drivers or to boot with the docking station and HDD connected and switched on.
