I don't know how you determined the above sequence of actions to be 'normal'. |
| 19 |
I have a Startech HD - USB 3.0 docking station, probably coming out of the |
| 20 |
same Chinese factory, but I am following a different procedure. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1. Connect the PSU to the docking station. |
| 23 |
2. Insert the HD. |
| 24 |
3. Switch on power to the docking station. |
| 25 |
4. Plug in the USB cable into the PC. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Steps 1. and 2. above are interchangeable. |
| 28 |
Steps 3. and 4. above are interchangeable. |
| 29 |
Steps 2. and 3. above and NOT interchangeable. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
The hard drive is recognised as a USB device by udev and any partitions on it |
| 32 |
become available for mounting. Are there some instructions available for your |
| 33 |
docking station which direct a different sequence of actions? |
