connected.
Keys
If pressing the keys on the front panel produces no response from the system, the keys may have
malfunctioned. Please check the control panel to see if the wiringhas come loose.
Firmware Upgrade
The device can be updated to newversions of rmware through CD/DVD-ROM. If unable to
update the rmware, check that the rmware was downloaded correctly. Afailed rmware upgrade
may cause the duplicator to become inoperable. Ifthe system is working normally, do not attempt
this operation.If the system is alreadyexperiencingproblems, please contact your distributor for
repairs.
Startup/Shutdown
Do not suddenly turn o the power while the system isperformingan operation.Aftershutting
down normally, wait a moment (usuallyaround 2 seconds) before starting the system again so it
can run its self-diagnostics.
About CopyHPA
The HPA(Host ProtectedArea) is a hidden data regiondened inATA/ATAPI-4. This area is not
usually accessible to software. The SATAHDD Duplicate Controller supports the copying of data
from this hidden area.
Drive is locked (cannot be initialized after the SECURE ERASE or OVERWRITE)
1. Place drive in the source slot
2. Execute "PreScan" function for 1 minute
3. Press "ESC" key until you see "User Abort" on the LCD screen
4. Now remove the drive from the duplicator and connect it to your system, the HDD should be
recognized and be able to initialize again

Firmware Update Procedure
(Requires one hard drive containing the rmware le):
1. Create a 50MB HDD partition with FAT/FAT32 or NTFS les system on any SATA hard drive
2. Download the rmware and unzip the le to .BIN le format
3. Copy the .BIN le onto the 50 MB partition of the HDD
4. Insert this drive to the Source slot of the duplicator. For subsystem, connect the drive to the
Source SATA port
5. Select "Firmware Update" function under the "Setup" or "Advanced Setup" menu and press
ENT to do the update. To access the "Advanced Setup", hold onto the ESC button for 5 seconds.
The new option will appear
6. Once completed, it will reboot and show you the new rmware version
Notes:
SECURE ERASE - HDD duplicator sends a WIPE
command to the hard drive. This command lls 00 string to entire HDD
OVERWRITE - There are three options: One pass, 3 passes and 7 passes 5220.22-M. The duplicator
writes a string of pattern over the entire disk one time, three times or seven times. (5220.22-M is
the DoD standard for drive sanitization)
Please note that some drives may become locked and cannot be initialized after the SECURE ERASE
or OVERWRITE. Should this happen, use the following procedures to unlock the drive:
1. Place drive in the source slot
2. Execute "PreScan" function for 1 minute
3. Press "ESC" key until you see "User Abort" on the LCD screen
4. Now remove the drive from the duplicator and connect it to your system, the HDD should be
recognized and be able to initialize again
