1 to 4 IDE Duplicator Features
Congratulations on your purchase. The 1 to 4 IDE copier is a stand-alone hardware package used to
make identical duplicates of IDE hard disk drives. The copier offers these features:
•
Full drive duplication ability.
Any IDE drive can be copied, producing a perfectly identical
backup copy. System builders can use the unit to quickly install identical drives and pre-load
software.
•
Optional data verification.
Drives can automatically scanned for defects during the copy
process. This option slows copying, but ensures that no recording errors are detected on the
target drives.
•
Performance is unaffected by the number of drives attached.
Duplication speed is virtually
unaffected by the number of drives attached. In addition, each IDE drive has a separate IDE port.
The failure of one target drive will not affect the others.
•
Support for all IDE drives
including: IDE, Enhanced IDE, and Ultra DMA mode drives. No drive
jumper changes are necessary. All drives are jumpered as "master" or “single drive”.
•
A totally self-contained workstation
including drive power supply, LCD panel, and push buttons.
No connection to a PC is required.

Quick Setup
1. Remove the copier from its shipping carton. Save the carton and protective foam in case the
copier ever requires service.
2. Make sure that the top-panel power switch is in the OFF position.
3. Attach the power cord.
4. Ensure that nothing blocks either the ventilation slots on the bottom of the chassis or the fan on
the rear panel of the chassis.
5. Connect the IDE drive cables to the five connectors located on the top of the chassis. The
cables are keyed so that they cannot be installed backwards.
6. Connect the drive power supply cables to the top of the chassis.
7. Place the hard drives to be duplicated on the anti-static pads on top of the unit. Be sure to
place your original drive in the "source" location, and your blank target drives in the "target"
locations. Jumper all drives as "master" or “single drive”, depending on the drive.
8. Switch the power ON. The copier will perform an internal self test. The duplication process
will start automatically.
