Using this extension module, you can easily connect/disconnect a standard 3.5” SATA HDD to your Dune
HD media player, and also optionally get two extra USB 2.0 host ports.

Compatible models of Dune HD media players:

• Dune HD Smart D1
• Dune HD Smart H1
• Dune HD Smart B1
• Dune HD Max
• NOTE: Future Dune HD media player models may be supported as well (check the information provided for a particular Dune HD Media player model).

The extension module can be connected to the player in one of two ways:

• Via USB interface. In this case, the extension module also acts as a USB hub and allows to use two USB 2.0 host ports located on the rear panel of the extension module (these USB host ports can be used the same way as the USB host ports of the player itself).
• Via eSATA interface. In this case, the USB 2.0 host ports located on the rear panel of the extension module are not functioning.

NOTE: Since the extension module uses standard USB and eSATA interfaces, you can also use the
extension module with a PC, another Dune HD media player model, or any other equipment supporting
the connection of USB or eSATA devices. However, the extension module is intended primarily for the use
with the compatible models of Dune HD media players and is not guaranteed to work smoothly and reliably
with other equipment.

The "Smart HE" extension module is intended primarily for use with Dune HD players, in particular, any of the base modules (players) of Dune HD Smart family or with Dune HD Max player. This module allows to extend Dune HD players capabilities with a rack for installation of 3.5 inch SATA HDD with hot-swap support. Besides, connection to a player may be performed by either USB 2.0 or eSATA interface.

Also, if desired, the Smart HE module may be used with a PC as a USB or eSATA HDD box.

Being connected to a Dune player or a PC via USB 2.0 interface (using the USB Slave connector on the rear panel of the extension module) the module also serves as a USB hub: two USB Host 2.0 connectors of the module may be used to connect additional external devices which are therefore made available to the Dune player or the PC.

Please pay attention to the fact that when the module is connected to a player or a PC using the eSATA interface, both USB Host 2.0 connectors of the module are inactive and may not be used!

Bundled with the HD Smart HE extension module there comes the 12V 3A power adaptor, USB 2.0 cable (Host-Slave), eSATA-eSATA cable, and the brief user guide.

Also please note that the product is not equipped with any means of active cooling (e.g. fans), because is intended firstly for using in noiseless installations in the scope of a home cinema system. Thus, to prevent overheating of devices, we strongly recommend to use together with this module only HDD models with low heat production, in particular, models intended for usage in satellite receivers (e.g. Green, EcoGreen HDD models and the like).
