Installation

Hardware Installation

JBOD (PC) Mode

1. Connect the external power adapter to the portable duplicator.

2. Connect 1 or 2 hard drives to either drive connector on the duplicator. If only
connecting a single hard drive, connect it to the “Destination” connector.

3. Power on the hard drive dock by pressing the power switch located near the power
adapter connector.

4. The Power LED should be green to indicate JBOD mode. Press and hold the Mode
button for 3 seconds to switch modes if necessary.

5. Connect the USB or eSATA cable from the hard drive dock to the computer system.

NOTE: If using eSATA, the port on the host computer system should support Port
Multiplier technology for two drives to be visible, otherwise only a single drive will be
visible.

6. The operating system should now detect the hard drive(s) and make them available.
The hard drives may need to be partitioned/formatted using a disk management
utility before you can access them.

Duplicator Mode

1. Connect the external power adapter to the portable duplicator.

2. Connect 2 hard drives into the dock. Make sure to place the drive with the data
you want copied (Source) into the “Source” bay. The disk to receive the data
(Destination) should be equal or larger in capacity than the source disk.

3. Power on the hard drive dock by pressing the power switch located near the power
adapter connector.

4. The Power LED should be red to indicate Duplicator Mode. Press and hold the
Mode button for 3 seconds to switch modes if necessary.

5. Once both drives are installed, press and hold the Start button for several seconds
to begin duplication. The progress bar will indicate how much of the duplication is
complete. Once complete, the entire bar will be lit solid.
