NOTES

• All data in B, C, and -Bays will be deleted once Offline Clone starts.
• We highly recommend backing up your data BEFORE you clone your hard drive.
• Hard drives with bad sectors may not clone. Simply replace them with a new hard drive.
• If the capacity for your Target hard drives is bigger than you Source, the remaining capacity upon completion of the offline clone will show up as “Unallocated”.
  Go into Disk Management on Windows/Disk Utility on Mac and allocate the remaining capacity.

TROUBLESHOOTING/SUPPORT

Power LED does not come on?

• Ensure that the connection between power adapter and dock is secure.
• Try it on a different power outlet.

HDD LED does not come on/ turns off during offline clone?

• Re-seat the hard drive into the bay.
• Try it on the second HDD bay
• Swap out the hard drive with a new hard drive.

Cloning process will not start?

• Power off the dock, re-seat drives, power dock back on, and try process again.
• Check if the capacity of your Target drives is equal or larger to the capacity of your Source.

(Capacity means the actual space that can be used, instead of the one marked on the product.)
For example: The actual capacity of a disk marked 1000GB (1 TB), might only be 930GB.
The actual capacity of a hard drive is usually different from what is shown on its label.
You can check the actual capacity of a hard drive in Windows Disk Management/Mac Disk Utility.
