Installation
Hardware Installation
JBOD (PC) Mode
1. Connect the external power adapter to the portable duplicator.
2. Connect 1 or 2 hard drives to either drive connector on the
duplicator. If only connecting a single hard drive, connect it to the
“Destination” connector.
3. Power on the hard drive dock by pressing the power switch located
on the power adapter cable.
4. The Power LED should be green to indicate JBOD mode. Press and
hold the Mode button for 3 seconds to switch modes if necessary.
5. Connect the USB or eSATA cable from the hard drive dock to the
computer system.
NOTE: If using eSATA, the port on the host computer system should
support Port Multiplier technology for two drives to be visible, otherwise
only a single drive will be visible.
6. The operating system should now detect the hard drive(s) and
make them available. The hard drives may need to be partitioned/
formatted using a disk management utility before you can access
them.
Duplicator Mode
1. Connect the external power adapter to the portable duplicator.
2. Connect 2 hard drives into the dock. Make sure to place the drive
with the data you want copied (Source) into the “Source” bay. The
disk to receive the data (Destination) should be equal or larger in
capacity than the source disk.
3. Power on the hard drive dock by pressing the power switch located
on the power adapter cable.
4. The Power LED should be red to indicate Duplicator Mode.
Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds to switch modes if
