Notice & Reminder
Important Notice
󲋽Read the complete operation instruction carefully contributes to better
operation.
󲋽Make sure the source device is correct and workable.
󲋽To guarantee data consistency, we highly recommend the capacity of
source and targets should be the same.
󲋽It is strongly suggested to use "Copy+Compare" to achieve a perfect
duplication.
Safety Precautions
󲋽The warranty will expire if damage is incurred resulting from non-compliance with
theses operating instructions.
󲋽Store the equipment safely when not in used and keep out of the reach of children
and infants.
󲋽Please turn off the power before replace the socket.
󲋽Never turn off the power while processing the firmware update.
󲋽Use only approved power sources.

severely damage your duplicator.

Before You Start
4
⌘ Preparation Tips before You Start
• Make sure to use stable power supply.
• Please use at clean & dry environment.
• Please keep the environment well
ventilated.
• When the duplicator operates, it is normal
for the machine to heat up.
• Please do not move the duplicator during
operation to ensure better operation.
• Please do not remove HDDs during
operation to avoid damage.
• Please use power supply of its original
manufacturer to ensure working normal.
• Eliminate Static electricity:
Static electricity may cause duplication
error. Please pay attention to the duplicator
environment and operators’ equipment. It is
recommended to purchase static electricity
elimination equipments to avoid static
electricity shock when stay in high static
electricity.

⌘ Product Overview
The MT series have ultra high speed duplication, and each SATA port is independent.
MT series support up to 25 targets duplication, it has the same performance of speed is
far beyond PC-based duplicators.
There are small to large duplication targets and different duplication speeds for option.
MT series obtain full line products to meet specific requirements.
The HDD series has ultra high speed, and each interface is independent. That's why
no matter how many targets, it has the same performance of ultra high transmission
speed, far beyond PC-based duplicators.
Comply with the U.S. Department of Defense's erasing standard (DoD5220.22 M) and
Secure Erase (NIST800-88). It is important to make sure the data inside the disregarded
HDD will not be retrieved and can be safely transferred.

Step 1: Prepare Source & Target HDDs
Prepare a source HDD and target HDDs.
（★It’s strongly recommended the source and target are the same capacity.)
Source HDD Target HDD
Caution • SATA 1.0/2.0/3.0 HDD are all supported on the duplicator.
• Various adapters are required to copy device with different interfaces, e.g. IDE, eSATA,
mSATA, and etc.
Step 2: Place Source & Target HDDs
Place source HDD at source port, target HDDs to other ports.

Step 4: Completion!
Quality of copy OK/Fail and duplication time would show on LCD after duplication completes.
• During process of duplication, every port captures in real-time and message shown on LCD
and calculates CRC checksum code.
• Once copy operation is completed, the system will immediately show comparison results
between source and target HDDs. The red light will flash when error occurs.
• It is able to record real-time checksum code output to Log report.

➊System and Files: (Quick Copy data area only)
It will copy source HDD’s System and Files instead of the whole HDD. The system will analyze
the source HDD and identify the data area to copy. As long as the source HDD’s data within the
target HDD’s space, the copy will be processed. FAT16/32/64, NTFS, ext2/ext3/ext4, HFS+,
HFS, HFX are supported for this copy mode.

2 Set Tolerance of Bad Track
Select function "6.3 Skip Error" to set the number of
error that you accept to skip during tasks process. If
the HDD is very critical for content correctness, it is
strongly recommended to keep the Skip Error to be
"0". Set bad sectors from 0 to 65535 or unlimited.

➂How to Copy HDDs

3 Auto Skip Lower-Speed HDDs
Enter function 6.3 to setup tolerance speed of target
HDDs. Set to check HDDs’ lowest tolerance speed.
Users can choose “Don’t care” or set the speed value
among 20/40/60~300MB/second. The system will skip
any HDD which cannot reach the minimum speed. This
setting enables to speed up copying and select HDD
speed higher than the setting.
4 Auto Skip Lower-Speed Source
This setting enables to setup whether to check source
minimum speed when run speed-checking task. Select
“Yes” to include source HDD or select “No” to skip
source checking. This function enables to speed up
copying speed and setup minimum speed for source
HDD.

※ Troubleshooting When Duplication Fails
Check if too many bad tracks on HDDs can cause duplication failures.
● Check the setting of function "6.2 Skip Error"
● Make sure all data cables are properly and firmly connected.
● Make sure the capacity of source HDD is smaller than target.
Check the function for capacity, "5.1 Show HDD Info".
※ HPA Setting
HPA area, (host protected area / hidden protected area), is kept invisible space for booting
area, recovery data or blocked bad-sector, etc. By creating HPA, it resets max sectors and
keeps some space for HPA area that reduces the reported size of HDD.

Enter fundtion "6. Setup"-->"7. Advanced Setup"-->"6.Copy HPA Area"
This setting enables to setup whether to keep hidden area of the source during copy tasks. The
users can select one from the function "6.7.6 Copy HPA area". The factory default setting is
"No".
Enter function "6.7.6 Copy HPA Area" and select whether to copy HPA area or not.
➤
➊No, Keep HPA: When copy from source to targets, do not copy source HPA area to targets.
➋ No, Clear HPA: When copy from source to target and remove the target HPA setting during
Copy.
➌ No, Setting HPA: When copy from source to targets, do not copy source HPA area to targets
Setup targets HPA area the same size as the source.
➍Copy and Setting: When copy from source to targets, copy source HPA area to targets.
The settings of targets HPA will become the same as the source after duplication finished.
