2. Getting to Know Your KanguruClone

2.1 Hardware Setup

1. Place the KanguruClone where there is proper ventilation. Avoid using the KanguruClone in environments with high temperatures.

2. Before plugging in the AC Power Cable, please make sure that the voltage is adjusted to the same as your local voltage 110V/220V.

Note: Make sure that sufficient power is supplied to the KanguruClone. Incorrect power will cause faulty operation. It is highly recommended that you use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) with the KanguruClone.

3. The unit is designed to hold the Master drive in the bay located on the front of the unit. Before connecting a PATA Master drive, make sure that the jumpers are set to either MASTER or CABLE SELECT. You may now connect the Master drive.

Getting to Know Your KanguruClone

4. You are now ready to begin using your KanguruClone. To begin, turn on the unit with the power switch located on the back panel.

Things to remember

• Make sure that sufficient power is supplied to the KanguruClone. Incorrect power will cause faulty operation. It is highly recommended that you use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) with the KanguruClone.

• The KanguruClone is powered by an internal power supply that is controlled by a rocker switch located at the rear of the unit.

• The KanguruClone supplies power to all drives during a cloning session. There is no need to connect an external power source to the drives. The unit can supply up to 1.5A at 12V and up to 1A at 5V to each drive.

Note: the drives are not powered until you start a copy operation.

• It is OK to connect and disconnect Master or Target drives while the KanguruClone is powered on. However, do NOT connect or disconnect drives while any function is running or is in progress. The yellow status light will turn on to indicate that the unit is cloning or operating.

• The supplied cables are NOT standard cables like the ones found in a PC. Do not attempt to use these cables in a PC nor to use PC cables with the KanguruClone. Doing so may cause damage to the unit and drives.

Using Your KanguruClone / Copy Functions

3. Using Your KanguruClone

Before you begin any function, connect all Master and Target hard drives. All PATA hard drives must have their jumpers set to either MASTER or CABLE SELECT.

The KanguruClone has 4 main modes: COPY, DIAGNOSTIC, TOOL and CONFIGURATION. You can navigate between these modes from the Setup Menu by pressing the UP / DOWN buttons. When you have reached the desired mode, press the RIGHT button to enter that mode.

3.1 Copy Functions

The KanguruClone can clone hard drives in one of 5 ways: Disk Copy, Brief Copy, Resize Copy, Area Copy and Ratio Copy.

After duplication has been completed you have 4 options for verifying that all of the Target hard drives match the Master: Disk Compare, Brief Compare, Area Compare and Ratio Compare.

Note: Compare functions can be used in conjunction with the Copy functions to achieve an all in one Copy and Compare function. To do so, simply select a Copy function and a Compare function at the same time.

Disk Copy

3.1.1 Disk Copy

The Disk Copy function clones hard drives sector-by-sector from the Master to the Target(s) and supports all data formats. This mode is slower than other modes but it is also the most reliable copy method. Disk Copy is the default COPY function.

Note: When performing a Disk Copy, Kanguru Solutions recommends using Master and the Target disks of the same capacity. If you want to clone a Master hard drive to Targets of a different capacity, please use the Resize Copy function. For more information on Resize Copy, please see section 3.1.3 Resize Copy, p.15.

COPY DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

1. From the Setup Menu, press the UP or DOWN buttons to navigate to COPY mode. Press the RIGHT button to enter COPY mode.

2. From the COPY Function Menu, press the UP or DOWN buttons to navigate to the DISK COPY function. Press the RIGHT button to select DISK COPY.

3. Press the LEFT arrow twice to return to the Main Menu.

4. Press the RIGHT button to begin the Disk Copy.

5. Once the KanguruClone has finished cloning, it will display a “V” for verified target drives or an “X” for failed drives.

Brief Copy

3.1.2 Brief Copy

The Brief Copy function clones only sectors with data and will skip the blank sectors (including data hidden in sub channels). This mode is the fastest but will only support the following file systems: FAT, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HFS, EXT1, EXT2, EXT3.

Note: When performing a Brief Copy, Kanguru Solutions recommends using Master and the Target disks of the same capacity. If you want to clone a Master hard drive to Targets of a different capacity, please use the Resize Copy function. For more information on Resize Copy, please see section 3.1.3 Resize Copy, p.15.

Resize Copy

3.1.3. Resize Copy

The Resize Copy function is used to clone Master and Target drives with different capacities. This mode only copies the sectors with information and skips the blank sectors. This mode is faster than Disk Copy, but slower than Brief copy because it needs extra time to calculate the capacity difference between the Master and Target drives.

Note: You can only copy from a smaller capacity Master drive to larger capacity Target drives. Target drives in a session must all have the same capacity (e.g. a 40GB Master drive and 60GB Target drives.

Tool Functions / Full Erase

3.3 Tool Functions

The KanguruClone includes several tools that will allow you to scan, tune or erase hard drives. These functions are: Full Erase, Scan Disk, Quick Erase, Min Acoustic, Max Performance, HDD Wipe, Check Sum and Port Test.

3.3.1 Full Erase

The Full Erase function deletes all information on Target hard drives, sector by sector, wiping the drives clean.

This function will delete all data and file systems on any attached Target hard drives. Once you execute Full Erase, any data stored on the hard drive(s) will be permanently deleted. Make sure that you back up any important data before executing the Full Erase.

Note: The difference between the Full Erase function and the Quick Erase function is that Full Erase will completely erase the Hard Disk and at the same time verify if there are any bad sectors, while Quick Erase only deletes the boot sector.

5. FAQ

Q: Do all Target hard drives have to be the same capacity? Same Brand? A: If you select “DISK COPY” or “BRIEF COPY “, the Target hard drives must have the same capacity

as the Master hard drive. The hard drive brand is not important but capacity must be identical.

Q: Can I clone a smaller capacity Master drive to larger capacity Target drives? A: Yes, use the “RESIZE COPY“ function to clone a smaller capacity Master to larger capacity

Targets. However, targets must all be the same size (i.e. you can clone a 20GB Master to four 100GB Targets using RESIZE COPY). Note: Linux file systems are not supported by the Resize Copy function.

Q: Can I clone to Targets of various brands simultaneously? A: Yes, the machine is able to clone hard drives of different brands as long as they are the same

capacity.

Q: Can drives with different RPM speeds be cloned together? A: Yes, the machine will adjust to hard drives with different RPMs.

FAQ / Tech Support

Q: Do the Diagnostic features check the Source HDD or the Targets? A: The Diagnostic features will check the Target hard drives.

Q: How does the duplicator handle multiple partitions on the Master drive? A: The machine will auto-detect how many partitions in the source hard drive and then copy it, but

you are unable to select a specific partition to copy.

Q: How does the duplicator handle multiple partitions of varying formats on the Master drive? A: The machine will analyze the File System of the Master drive before it begins cloning.

Q: Can the duplicator clone operating systems such as UNIX and OS/2? A: Yes, use the “DISK COPY” function to copy any operating system.

Q: Can the duplicator defragment a partition? A: No, this must be done directly by the operating system of your PC.

Q: What purpose does increasing the boot time with the “Power On Wait” function server? A: The increased boot time feature is useful when using old hard disks. Older hard disks may need

more time to initiate the disk before cloning.

Q: Can the Duplicator copy Encrypted HDD’s? A: The KanguruClone is able to copy a limited number of encrypted HDD types using Disk Copy.
