Pico for Mac Getting Started Guide

Connecting the duplicator to a computer

1

  Power down the selected host computer. 

2

  Plug one of end of a USB cable into the USB connector on the back of the 

duplicator cabinet. Plug the other end of the cable into a USB .0 port on the 
selected Macintosh host computer. 

Note: USB 1.0 interfaces cannot handle the data transfer rates required for disc 
duplication tasks. If your system only has USB 1.0 ports, you must upgrade to USB 
.0 to use the duplicator.   

Connecting the power cable

1

  With the Pico power switch turned off (“0” position), at the back of the duplicator 

cabinet, connect the AC power cord to the unit. 

2

  Connect the other end of the power cord to a UPS device, AC power strip, or AC wall 

outlet. 

3

  Turn the power switch to the on position (“1”). The Pico fan begins to turn and you 

can now proceed with the installation of the software.  

Note: The Pico duplicator uses a three-prong power connector and must be used with a 
properly grounded AC receptable. Under no circumstances should you try to defeat the 
third “ground” prong. The duplicator must be grounded for proper operation as well as 
safety reasons.
