2. GENERAL OPERATION
2.1 Hardware Setup
1. Place the KanguruClone where there is proper ventilation. Avoid using the KanguruClone in environments with high temperatures.
2. 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. You are now ready to begin using your KanguruClone. To begin, turn on the unit by flipping 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.
General Operation
• The KanguruClone is powered by an external power adapter that is controlled by a rocker switch located at the rear of the duplicator.
• The KanguruClone supplies power to all drives during a session. There is no need to connect an external power source to the drives.
Note: 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 operation is running or the drive is being accessed. A green LED indicator blinking indicates that the duplicator is accessing the drive.
• Connect all Master and Target drives securely before executing any Copy, Compare, Erase, Load or Verify operation.
• All operation of the KanguruClone 4 NVMe is done through the touch-screen display. If you are having issues with the touch input, try recalibrating the screen, or use a stylus to tap the screen.

2.3 Calibrating the Touchscreen
One of the main features of the KanguruClone 4 M.2 NVMe Duplicator is the touchscreen user interface. If you are having issues with the accuracy of the touchscreen inputs (e.g. unable to access items to the edge of screen) your touchscreen may require re -calibration.
To calibrate the touchscreen:
1. Power on the duplicator.
2. Wait for the boot screen that displays the Kanguru Logo and the device firmware and Mac address.
General Operation
When this screen appears, tap the center of the touchscreen.
3. The calibration screen appears. Follow the onscreen instructions to re-calibrate the touchscreen.
If you are still having problems with touchscreen accuracy, you can also use a stylus to tap the screen.

2.4 Connecting NVMe Drives
The KanguruClone 4 NVMe supports NVMe SSDs that have an M.2 M-keyed connector. The duplicator only supports drives that run on the PCIe protocol, so M.2 SATA drives are not supported.
To connect an NVMe solid state drive to the KangurClone 4 NVMe:
1. Make sure all Drive Locking Pins are positioned at the end of the duplicator.
General Operation
2. Position the drive with the M-key notch aligned to the right side.
3. Insert the drive at about a 300 angle. You can identify the Source port position by the blue LED indicator.
