B. Offline Cloning Mode

The offline cloning function allows you to duplicate a source hard drive to a target hard drive without a computer connection. Warning: All data on the target disk will be erased during the cloning process. Ensure you have backed up any important data from the target disk before proceeding.

1. Putuskan sambungan daripada Komputer: Ensure the USB cable is disconnected from the docking station and your computer. The docking station should only be connected to its power adapter.
2. Insert Source Disk: Insert the Source Disk (the disk you want to copy FROM) into Slot A (Source).
3. Insert Target Disk: Insert the Target Disk (the disk you want to copy TO) into Slot B (Target). The Target Disk must have a capacity equal to or greater than the Source Disk.
4. Mulakan Pengklonan: Press and hold the 'Clone' button (usually located on the back or top panel) for approximately 3-5 seconds until the cloning progress LEDs begin to flash.
5. Pantau Kemajuan: The LED indicators (e.g., 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) will illuminate sequentially to show the cloning progress. When all LEDs are solid, the cloning process is complete.
6. penyiapan: Once cloning is complete, power off the docking station and safely remove the drives.
