Installation

Power the Drive Duplicator Dock

1. Connect the Universal Power Adapter to the appropriate Regional Wall Clip.
2. Connect the Universal Power Adapter to the DC Power Input, located on the rear of the M.2 NVMe/SATA Duplicator.
3. Toggle the Power Switch, located on the rear of the M.2 NVMe/SATA Duplicator, to the ON position.
   Note: The M.2 NVMe/SATA Duplicator Dock should be powered off before removing or adding drives to the Drive Bays.

Operation

Warning! M.2 Drives can become hot during duplication or prolonged data transfer sessions. Avoid touching the M.2 Drives immediately after use to prevent burns or damage. Allow the drives to cool down before removing/handling.

Connect to a Computer

1. Insert a 2.5 / 3.5in SATA Drive into the SATA Drive Bay.
2. Insert an M.2 NVMe Drive horizontally into the NVMe Drive Bay.
3. Align the M.2 Mounting Hole on the M.2 NVMe Drive with the NVMe Drive Bay. Secure the M.2 NVMe Drive into position using the included Rubber Stopper.
4. Connect the included USB-C Cable from the USB-C Port, located on the rear of the Drive Duplicator Dock, to an available USB-C Port on the Host Computer.
5. The Host Computer will automatically detect and install the required Drivers.

Clone a Drive

1. Ensure that the Source Drive Selector Switch, located on the rear of the M.2 NVMe/
   • SATA Duplicator, is set correctly.
   • Note: If the cloning direction is set incorrectly, the hard disk originally intended to be the source will become the target disk, and the data will be lost
   • If the Source Drive is M.2 NVMe: Select M.2 NVMe -> SATA
   • If the Source Drive is SATA: Select SATA -> M.2 NVMe
2. Insert the M.2 NVMe Drive and SATA Drive into the Drive Bays.
3. Toggle the Power Switch, located on the rear of the M.2 NVMe/SATA Duplicator, to the ON position.
4. Press and Hold the Clone Button until the Progress LED Indicators begin to flash. Immediately release and press the Clone Button once more. The 25% LED will begin to flash to indicate the duplication process is in progress.
   Warning! Do not disconnect either drive or interrupt the process until the duplication process has completed. Doing so may result in damage to the drive or lost data.
   Note: As each 25% segment of the duplication process finishes, the corresponding LED will turn solid, while the subsequent LED will begin to flash
5. When All Progress LED Indicators are no longer flashing and have become solid, the duplication process is complete.
   Note: If the M.2 NVMe/SATA Duplicator encounters an error, please check the LED Indicator status

   Status	LED Behavior
   Drive disconnected during cloning	•      Drive LEDs: Disconnected drive LED flashing slowly •      Progress LEDs: Illuminated LEDs flashing slowly
   Source Drive is larger than Target Drive	•      Drive LEDs: LEDs are not illuminated •      Progress LEDs: All LEDs are flashing alternately
