5.6 DoD Erase
This option complies with the U.S.A. Department of Defense (DoD 5220) standard to fully erase the HDD
by rewriting bit by bit three times to guarantee the data to be permanently deleted. This process takes the
longest time to erase, and the content will not be retrieved by software.
Use ▲or ▼to select option Display progress status

5.7 Change Disk Signatures
Duplicator generates the same disk signatures after copy which may cause computer unable to read the disk
correctly when two disks with identical disk signatures are presented, or shut down the computer. This
function allows to change disk signature. Attention: it will cause error (data mismatch) if compare the disks
after execution of this function.

5.10 System Information
This option displays general information of the duplicator, including controller model, system memory size,
firmware version and number of targets.
Display system information
5.11 System Update
This option allows the user to update the firmware of duplicator when necessary. Please obtain the proper
firmware file from manufacturer, and save the unzipped file under home folder on the HDD (DO NOT save
the file under sub folder). Insert the HDD containing the firmware into the source port of duplicator, and
press ENT under “11. System Update”. It will start to update the system. Once the update is completed,
the duplicator will automatically reboot by itself.

6. Setup
6.1 Copy Area
This option allows the user to select the area on the source device to copy onto the target d e v i c e s . You may
s e l e c t either “System And Files ” to skip all the unoccupied area on t h e s our c e device or “ W hole M e d i a ”. By default,
the copy area is set up as System And Files .
6.1.1 System And Files
The duplicator first analyzes the file format of source HDD device. You may copy only the system and
files area to save overall copy time if the file format is FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS (Windows), EXT2,
EXT3, EXT4 (Linux), and HFS/HFS+ (Mac). Otherwise, the duplicator will copy the entire source device
content to the target devices including unoccupied space. For instance, the source HDD has 2TB
capacity but with only 50MB of data in FAT32 file format. The duplicator will copy only the 50MB of data
area to the target HDD(s), hence shortening overall copy time.
6.1.2 Whole Media
When selected, the duplicator copies the entire content on the source HDD device, including both the
data and empty spaces. This option is used when you have a source device with unknown file format.
For instance a source HDD has 2TB capacity and 50MB of data with unknown file format, the duplicator
will copy the whole 2TB of content to target HDD(s)

There are three display modes: Basic, Show Timer, and Expert. Basic Mode shows the copy progress in
general; Show Timer Mode displays the time used for the task; Expert Mode shows the devices with highest
copy speed and lowest copy speed and their copy progress respectively. By default it is Basic Mode.
