4. USB Mode Switch
There are two USB modes on Forensic ComboDock.
• USB 3.0 Mode: Use this mode when Forensic ComboDock is connected to a USB 3.0 port on
your computer with a USB 3.0 cable (such as the cable included with the product). If Forensic
ComboDock is used with a USB 2.0 port or cable and it is switched to USB Normal mode, the
dock will not function correctly.
• USB 2.0 Mode: This mode ensures that Forensic ComboDock is backwards-compatible with
USB 2.0. In this mode you can use any cable or USB port type, but it will operate at USB 2.0
speed. USB Admin mode should also be used when using CRU applications (such as Forensic
Software Utility) to update the dock.
