Operating Instructions
A
A
Insert either a 2.5” or 3.5” hard drive

into the dock slot
Getting Started:
To make a duplicate copy of your hard drive, please remove the hard drive from
your computer.
Please make sure the target/blank drive has the same or higher capacity than
your source hard drive. The duplication will not start if the target drive has
smaller capacity than the source drive.
Use AHDDUB100 as a Duplicator:
Step 1: Insert the hard drive that you want to copy (the one with data) into the slot
labeled “Source”
Step 2: Insert the blank hard drive into the slot labeled “Target”
Step 3: Make sure the switch on AHDDUB100 is on “DUP”

Step 4: Insert 1 or 2 drives into the slots
Step 5: Press the “PWR” button to power on AHDDUB100

It is recommended to use the same capacity blank/target hard drive as your
source drive because you are making an exact ghost copy of your original hard
drive. For example, if your original hard drive (source with data) is 80GB, the
duplicated/ghost copy will also be 80GB even if you use a higher capacity drive.
Step 4: Connect the power adapter to AHDDUB100
Step 5: Press the “PWR” button to power on AHDDUB100
Step 6: Press the “START” button to start the duplication process
Warning: All data on the target drive will be erased.
