• U HDD1/HDD2 LEDs will light up when a drive is detected in the corresponding bay and will blink during data activity.

5.2 Offline Cloning Function

The offline cloning function allows you to duplicate the contents of a source drive (HDD1) to a target drive (HDD2) without requiring a computer connection. This is useful for creating exact copies of drives.

Important: The target drive (HDD2) must be equal to or larger in capacity than the source drive (HDD1). All data on the target drive will be overwritten during the cloning process.

1. Ensure the Quickport is powered off and disconnected from your computer.
2. Inserite u unità surghjente in lu HDD1 bay.
3. Inserite u unità di destinazione in lu HDD2 bay.
4. Ensure the target drive has sufficient capacity (equal to or greater than the source drive).
5. Appughjà è tene premutu Clone buttone for approximately 3-5 seconds until the 25% progress LED cumencia à lampà.
6. Release the Clone button, then quickly press it again to confirm and start the cloning process.
7. The progress LEDs (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will illuminate sequentially to indicate the cloning progress.
