9. Examples of use
9.1 Local use
User A only wants to operate the SATA QuickPort Pro LAN at his local computer.
Thus he connects the included USB and/or the delivered eSATA cable to the respective connectors at his computer.
Into the HDD docking bay he inserts a SATA HDD, to the USB front connectors he plugs a USB stick and into the card reader
he inserts a SD card.
User A switches on the SATA QuickPort Pro LAN. Afterwards the HDD is addressed over eSATA and installed on the local
computer with OS drivers. USB stick and SD card are accessed via USB and also installed.
After successful installation all three memory devices are available from the local computer, no additional software needs to
