CHAPTER 2

Getting to Know Your KanguruClone HD

Hardware Setup

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

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

3. There are four/twelve corresponding IDE ribbon cables and power connectors for each of the attached Target drives. Before connecting the Target drives, make sure that the jumpers are set to either MASTER or CABLE SELECT. You may now connect the Target drive(s).

4. Note that the drives are not powered until you actually start a copy operation.

5. Note: The supplied cables are NOT standard IDE 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 HD.

6. You are now ready to begin using your KanguruClone HD. To begin, turn on the unit with the power switch located on the back panel, select the desired copy function, and press select.
