Operating Instructions
Getting Started:
To make a duplicate copy of your hard drive, please remove the hard drive from your computer. Please make sure the target/blank drive has the same or higher capacity than your source hard drive. The duplication will not start if the target drive has a smaller capacity than the source drive.
It is recommended to use the same capacity blank/target hard drive as your source drive because you are making an exact ghost copy of your original hard drive. For example, if your original hard drive (source with data) is 80GB, the duplicated/ghost copy will also be 80GB even if you use a higher-capacity drive.
Warning: All data on the target drive will be erased.
Use AHDDUB100 as a Duplicator:
- Step 1: Insert the hard drive that you want to copy (the one with data) into the slot labeled “Source”
- Step 2: Insert the blank hard drive into the slot labeled “Target”
- Step 3: Make sure the switch on AHDDUB100 is on “DUP”
- Step 4: Connect the power adapter to AHDDUB100
- Step 5: Press the “PWR” button to power on AHDDUB100
- Step 6: Press the “START” button to start the duplication process
- Step 7: The duplication process is completed when you see the status bar at 100%
- Step 8: Press the “PWR” button to power off AHDDUB100 & remove the hard drives
Use AHDDUB100 as a Hard Drive Docking Station:
- Step 1: Make sure the switch is on “JBOD”.
- Step 2: Connect the USB Type-B connector to AHDDUB100
- Step 3: Connect the USB Type-A connector to your computer
- Step 4: Insert 1 or 2 drives into the slots
- Step 5: Press the “PWR” button to power on AHDDUB100
- Step 6: For drives that are formatted, you will see the drives in “My Computer”. For non-formatted drives, you will need to go to “Disk Management” to format the drive before you can access the drive.
