5. Bedryfsinstruksies

5.1. PC Connection Mode (Docking Station)

When connected to a PC via the USB 3.0 cable, the Sandberg Hard Disk Cloner functions as an external docking station, allowing you to access the inserted hard drives directly from your computer.

1. Ensure the cloner is powered on and connected to your PC via the USB 3.0 cable.
2. Insert one or two SATA hard drives into the slots.
3. Your operating system should automatically detect the drives. They will appear as removable storage devices.
4. You can now read, write, and manage files on the drives as you would with any other external storage device.

5.2. Standalone Cloning Mode (PC-Free)

This mode allows you to duplicate the contents of a source hard drive to a target hard drive without needing a computer connection.

Important Note: The target hard disk must have a greater or equal capacity than the source hard disk for the cloning process to succeed. All data on the target drive will be overwritten.

1. Berei skyfies voor: Ensure both the source and target hard drives are free of errors and properly formatted.
2. Voeg skywe in:
   • Plaas die source drive into Slot A.
   • Plaas die doelwit into Slot B.
3. Ontkoppel van rekenaar: Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the cloner if it was previously connected to a computer. The cloner must operate in standalone mode for cloning.
4. Krag aan: Turn on the cloner.
5. Initiate Cloning: Press and hold the "Clone" button (or similar designated button) for several seconds until the cloning progress LEDs begin to flash.
6. Monitor vordering: The progress LEDs will indicate the cloning status (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Do not interrupt the process.
7. Voltooiing: Once all progress LEDs are solid, the cloning process is complete.
8. Skakel af en verwyder: Power off the cloner before safely removing the hard drives.

6. Onderhoud

  • Check if the power adapter is securely connected to both the cloner and a working wall outlet.
  • Ensure the power button on the cloner is pressed.
• Hard drives not detected by PC:
  • Verify the USB 3.0 cable is securely connected to both the cloner and your PC. Try a different USB port on your PC.
  • Ensure the hard drives are properly seated in the cloner's slots.
  • Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drives are recognized but uninitialized or unformatted.
  • Test with a different hard drive to rule out a drive issue.
• Cloning process fails or does not start:
  • Ensure the cloner is disconnected from the PC (standalone mode required for cloning).
  • Confirm that the target drive's capacity is equal to or greater than the source drive's capacity.
  • Verify that the source drive is in Slot A and the target drive is in Slot B.
  • Press and hold the clone button for the required duration (typically several seconds).
  • Check for any errors on the source or target drives using disk diagnostic tools on a PC.
• Stadige data-oordragspoed:
  • Maak seker dat jy aan 'n USB 3.0-poort op jou rekenaar gekoppel is. USB 2.0-poorte sal tot stadiger snelhede lei.
  • The actual speed can be limited by the speed of the hard drive itself.
