6. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

6.1 Data Transfer Mode

Once the docking station is connected to your computer and powered on, the inserted hard drives will appear as removable drives in your operating system (e.g., "This PC" on Windows, "Finder" on Mac). You can then drag and drop files, copy, paste, or perform any standard file മാനേജ്മെൻ്റ് പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങൾ.

For new hard drives, they may need to be initialized and formatted before they appear in your file explorer. Refer to Section 6.3 for detailed instructions on hard drive initialization.

6.2 ഓഫ്‌ലൈൻ ക്ലോൺ ഫംഗ്ഷൻ

The offline clone function allows you to duplicate a source hard drive to a target hard drive without needing a computer connection. This is ideal for system backups or upgrading to a larger drive.

Important: The target disk capacity must be equal to or larger than the source disk capacity. Any data on the target disk will be erased during the cloning process.

1. ഡ്രൈവുകൾ തയ്യാറാക്കുക: Ensure both the source drive (Disk 1) and target drive (Disk 2) are inserted correctly into their respective slots.
2. പിസിയിൽ നിന്ന് വിച്ഛേദിക്കുക: Disconnect the USB data cable from your computer. The docking station should only be connected to its power adapter.
3. ഇനിഷ്യേറ്റ് ക്ലോൺ: Press and hold the "Clone" button for approximately 3 seconds until the blue LED indicators (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) begin to flash.
4. ക്ലോൺ സ്ഥിരീകരിക്കുക: Briefly press the "Clone" button again to confirm the cloning process. The LEDs will start to illuminate sequentially, indicating progress.
5. പൂർത്തീകരണം: Once all four blue LEDs are solid, the cloning process is complete.
6. Post-Clone: After cloning, connect the docking station back to your computer. If the target disk is larger than the source disk, you may need to use Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) to extend the partition to utilize the full capacity.

This image provides a visual walkthrough of the offline cloning procedure, from inserting drives to initiating and completing the clone without a computer connection.

6.3 Hard Drive Initialization (Windows and Mac OS)

New hard drives or drives that have been previously used in a different system may not be immediately recognized by your computer. They need to be initialized and formatted before they can be used. The following video demonstrates this process for both Windows and Mac OS.
