Is the mount easy to install?

Yes, installation is tool-free. Attach the mount to your vent or suction cup, press the release button to open the clamp, place your device, and release.

Will the mount damage my air vent?

The clip is padded and designed to grip vent slats without scratching. However, avoid using on very thin or fragile vents.

2. Optionally, you can use the supplied protective rubber sleeve to protect the unit. To do this, place the device in the sleeve according to the cut-outs for the connections.

Advice for an installed M.2 NVMe drive (optional) M.2 NVMe SSD not included

The IB-DK2108M-C with installed M.2 NVMe drive inside can be connected to or disconnected from the computer via USB cable without shutting down the computer.

A new drive must first be initialized, partitioned and formatted by the operating system in order to be displayed by the system.

If the drive is not recognized instantly by the operating, system please check:

• if the driver software is installed (USB)
• if the SSD is initialized, partitioned and formatted

Please await the end of read/write operations before disconnecting the drive in order to avoid data loss.

The full USB 3.1 (Gen 2) transfer rate can only be achieved with a USB 3.1 (Gen 2) host computer. Furthermore, the USB 3.1 (Gen 2) drivers must be installed by the operating system. If this is not the case, install the appropriate drivers for your operating system (Windows ^® , macOS ^® ).
