other menu until the unit beeps.

process as soon as they are detected.
3. Compare HDD

4. Async Compare
Scans the ports, then any targets found will be compared to the source. More
drives to compare may be added before the process is complete, they will
begin the process as soon as they are detected.

NOTE: Target drive size is still required to be equal to or greater than source. Only works
with source drives formatted using Master Boot Record. If the source drive has a boot
record other than MBR, the entire disk will be copied as if Fast Copy were OFF. If the
source drive is formatted with a Master Boot Record and contains only FAT32 or NTFS
partitions, identical partitions will be created on the target(s) and only the files will be
copied. If the source drive with MBR format includes partitions other than FAT32 or NTFS,
all sectors of all partitions (including FAT32 and NTFS) will be duplicated.
Enabling Fast Copy may not produce bootable duplicates.
10-9. Auto Start Drive
When source drive is present, inserting a target drive will cause copy
process to begin automatically. Default setting is OFF.
10-10. Auto Start Timer
Sets delay in time after target insertion before beginning auto copy
process if Auto Start Drive is ON. Default setting is OFF (no delay).
10-11. Tolerance Size
Sets the minimum target size in percentage compared to the source that
is allowed to use for copying. Default is 100% (equal in size).
NOTE: Leaving this setting at 100% or using for minor adjustments only
is strongly recommended. Permitting target size less than source size
may result in inaccurate copies.
10-12. BootTime Delay
This option is used to set boot delay time. Default setting is 5 seconds.
10-13. Quick Compare
Sets Compare function to stop after a small amount of data has been
verified, up to 100MBytes. Default setting is OFF.
10-14. Copy with Size
Causes duplicate drive to report to an operating system the exact same
total size as source when copy is complete. Works only on drives format-
ted using a Master Boot Record. Default setting is OFF.
Advanced Setup Options
11-01. Read Error Skip
Allows duplicator to ignore I/O errors while reading source drive. Default
setting is OFF.

containing one partition with the firmware file in the root directory.

NOTE: This function scans the entire disk before proceeding. Providing a drive that is as
small as possible is strongly recommended.

containing one partition with the firmware file in the root directory.
NOTE: This function scans the entire disk before proceeding. Providing a
drive that is as small as possible is strongly recommended.
