Introduction
1:7 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Tower Publisher SLS: Removable Hard Disk
Drive
Your Tower Publisher SLS is equipped with a removable hard disk drive (HDD) for
storing images of frequently copied discs. Storing an image of a disc you want to copy
on an HDD improves duplication speed, and adds the convenience of not having to
look around for the actual source disc you want to copy.
Your removable HDD provides extra security, in that you can remove the drive
containing the disc images and put it in a safe place where no un-authorized users can
copy or view the data.
The removable HDD includes a keyed lock to protect the data on the drive from being
misused or stolen. The HDD is used in the copy process as described in the following
pages of this user guide.
Note:
You can use the duplicator to copy directly from BD, DVDs or CDs with
or without the HDD. Just place your source disc in the BD/DVD/CD source
drive or any of the BD/DVDRW writers.
To remove the HDD:
1. Unlock the HDD by inserting the key and turning it left (counterclockwise) 1/4
turn. The drive is now in the unlocked position.
2. Lift the HDD carriage lever upward and pull out. The HDD carriage will come
out of the tower and a protective drive bay door will close.
To replace the HDD:
1. Align the HDD carriage with the door opening and push the drive carriage
through the protective drive bay door until you feel the drive seat in its connector.
2. Push the HDD carriage lever down, then insert your key and turn it 1/4 turn to
the right (clockwise). The HDD is now in its locked position. You can remove
the key.
Note:
The HDD will not work unless it is secured in position with the carriage
lever and locked with the key. Do not unlock the HDD during operation, as you
will destroy any copies you are making.
