I. Installing drive into the HDD Duplicator
Note: Make sure that the capacity of the target hard disk is equal
or larger than the source hard disk.
For example, on the label of the hard drives, it might identify both
drives as 80GB but the actual size differs. And when this type of
drives are used on the HDD duplicator, when you start
duplicating, you will receive a “Target Not Ready” error. To
resolve this issue, you need to decrease the drive size of the
source drive. To do this, navigate to: 6.Setup > 6.2Copy Size and
use the button arrows to decrease the drive size of the source
drive by increments of 1%.
For installing ahard drive on the various enclosures that
come with the HDD duplicator, refer to the bundled
enclosure installation guides.
Step 1
Once the hard drive is installed on the drive enclosure, slide in
theSource drive into the drive bay. Push down the handle and
using the key provided, turn the key lock to the Lock position.
This will secure the drive and turn on the power to the hard drive.
Step 2
Slide in the Target drive into the drive bay. Push down the
handle and using the key provided, turn the key lock to the Lock
position. This will secure the drive and turn on the power to the
hard drive.
II. Connecting the power cable and poweringon
a. Connect the power cord provided from the wall outlet to the
back of the tower.
b. A main power switch is located at the back of the tower. Turn
the switch on. Another auxiliary switch is located on the front
of the tower.
c. Push the auxiliary switch button to turn on the HDD
duplicator.
