Notice & Reminder

Important Notice

󲋽

Read the complete operation instruction carefully contributes to better

operation.

󲋽

Make sure the source device is correct and workable.

󲋽

To guarantee data consistency, we highly recommend the capacity of

source and targets should be the same.

󲋽

It is strongly suggested to use "Copy+Compare" to achieve a perfect

duplication.

Safety Precautions

󲋽

The warranty will expire if damage is incurred resulting from non-compliance with

theses operating instructions.

󲋽

Store the equipment safely when not in used and keep out of the reach of children

and infants.

󲋽

Please turn off the power before replace the socket.

󲋽

for the machine to heat up.

• Please do not move the duplicator during

operation to ensure better operation.

• Please do not remove HDDs during

operation to avoid damage.

• Please use power supply of its original

manufacturer to ensure working normal.

• Eliminate Static electricity:

Static electricity may cause duplication

error. Please pay attention to the duplicator

environment and operators’ equipment. It is

recommended to purchase static electricity

elimination equipments to avoid static

electricity shock when stay in high static

electricity.

Product Overview

The MT series have ultra high speed duplication, and each SATA port is independent. MT series support up to 25 targets duplication, it has the same performance of speed is far beyond PC-based duplicators.

There are small to large duplication targets and different duplication speeds for option. MT series obtain full line products to meet specific requirements. The HDD series has ultra high speed, and each interface is independent. That's why no matter how many targets, it has the same performance of ultra high transmission speed, far beyond PC-based duplicators.

Comply with the U.S. Department of Defense's erasing standard (DoD5220.22 M) and Secure Erase (NIST800-88). It is important to make sure the data inside the disregarded HDD will not be retrieved and can be safely transferred.

➄ How to Erase HDDs

Quick Erase (System and Files Area)

The function will ONLY erase the index of the HDD. It is the quickest way to erase HDD.

Full Erase (Whole HDD Area)

The function will erase the whole sectors on the target HDD. It will take longer time than quick erase.

DoD Erase (DoD5220.22 M)

This is to comply with the U.S.A. Department of Defense(DoD 5220) standard to fully erase the HDD three times bit-by-bit to overwrite HDD data and guarantees data not recoverable. This DoD erase method will erase HDD over each sector three times: the first time with zeros (0x00), second time with 0xFF(0xFF) and the third time with random characters.

DoD Erase & Compare (DoD5220.22 M)

Besides DoD erase 3 times, this function will also execute comparison to make sure the random bit correctly written.

How to Erase HDDs ➄

DoD EraseComp Method:

Note

**The erasing duration of DoD Erase mode is 3 times longer than full erase mode. **The duration of DoD EraseComp is 4 times longer than full erase mode.

DoD Erase Settings for the third time: enter pattern of random characters in "6.6.3 Erase Pattern".

Secure Erase (NIST800-88)

The international authorized high standard Secure Erase function. It overwrites every single track on the hard drive with "00". Even HPA/DCO or other data area which are not able to load, can be erased all together.

Caution

Highly recommended, please DO NOT disrupts Secure Erase during operation. Otherwise, it can cause irretrievable error on HDD, which turns the HDD unusable. We are not held responsible for any damages.

➅ How to Update System

⌘

Two Methods for BIOS Update

Update by USB

Step 1: Create Update USB

Connect one USB drive to PC. Download latest firmware and save it to the USB drive.

The duplicator is able to record up to 30,000 records of operation information of HDD. One operation on a single HDD is saved as one record. For example, there are 26 records saved for 1-25 duplicator.

Note

If there is no record saved at the selected period of time, or record had been wiped out, the program would show "No match records!"

System FAQ

Category Question Answer: Reasons, Solutions

Error message

LCD shows "HDD Too Small"

(1) When the capacity of source HDD is larger than target HDDs. For example, copy 500GB source HDD to 250GB target HDDs.

(2) When the capacity of source and target are the same capacity (e.g. 500G), the internal capacity might be slightly different. *Prepare all HDDs from the same brand is preferable

Compatible

What OS does the duplicator support?

The duplicator copies any kinds OS of HDDs.

Can the duplicator copy IDE HDD, SSD, mSATA, etc?

Yes, it can support SATA interface when attach SATA adapter.

What kind of format does the duplicator support?

Support all operating system. FAT16/32/64, NTFS, Linux (ext2/ext3/ext4), Mac OS (HFS/ HFX/HFS+) are supported for Quick Copy (Systems and Files only). If copy formats are none of the above, it auto transfers to "All Partition Copy".

Duplication

How long does it take to copy HDDs?

For example, the system support copy speed at 7.2GB/ min. It will take about 2 mins to copy Win7 OS (approx 12GB).

What the maximum capacity does the duplicator support?

The duplicator supports up to 6TB HDD capacity, and MBR/GBT format HDD.

Can I interrupt the copy task while it is not finished?

Yes, the program (copy, compare and erase) can be stopped while it is in processing by pressing ESC for about 3~4 seconds.

※

Warning: After interruption during processing, the

duplication fails to transfer complete.

PC-Monitoring FAQ

PC-Monitor Question Answer

Real-time

connection

Why my duplicator cannot execute PC-Monitoring?

Make sure USB cable is connected securely between PC and duplicator. It is recommended to attach USB cable first and then open LV07H program.

Why the monitoring information of LV07H lags, and cannot sync up with the duplicator?

PC-Monitoring consumes large amount of resources from PC. If PC processing ability is low or running other tasks at the same time, LV07H might lag and not responsive. It is recommended not to do multi-tasks on a PC when using the LV07H to achieve better response time.

Log

Can I change the file name of Log protected on PC?

File names can be changed on PC.

Can Log protected Log Report be viewed by various user?

Yes, anyone can view the Log Report.

Checksum/ CRC Code

What’s the difference between real-time checksum function and compare function?

During duplication process, target HDDs will automatically calculate checksum and compare with the source HDD in order to execute transmission problems. Compare function uses more strict bit-by-bit comparison between source and targets to exclude all problems of HDDs.

⌘

Quality Check

Category Question Answer: Reasons, Solutions

Quality Check

What is HDD "Quality Check"? What this feature for?

HDD Quality Check can detect completely if any bad-sector exists. By using this function, it can pick out bad-sector HDDs and skip copying bad-track HDDs during operation. It avoids time wasting and duplication error since bad-tracks cause failure.

*Example: While copying one HDD with 3TB HD data, it takes around 7 to 8 hours to complete. If bad-track existed at 2TB position, it will cause error. Thus, it will waste operation hours around 5 to 6 hours and also reduce productivity.

1. During executing "Quality Check", HDDs data has been written in testing data by position of storage. This method could check data normal or not. Any abnormal data being discovered, the badsectors are confirmed existed.

2. The strictly mode processes reading & writing-in tasks twice and each time runs data differently.

3. The settings of function, "Skip Error", its number won’t affect "Quality Check". The system will confirm HDDs as bad-track, only one bad-sector being discovered.
