1.3 Hardware Setup

1. Place the KanguruClone where there is proper ventilation. Avoid using the KanguruClone in
environments with high temperatures.
2. Make sure that sufficient power is supplied to the KanguruClone. Incorrect power will cause
faulty operation. It is highly recommended that you use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply)
with the KanguruClone.
3. You are now ready to begin using your KanguruClone. To begin, turn on the unit by flipping the
power switch located on the back panel.
Things to remember
• Make sure that sufficient power is supplied to the KanguruClone. Incorrect power will cause
faulty operation. It is highly recommended that you use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply)
with the KanguruClone.
• The KanguruClone is powered by an internal power supply that is controlled by a rocker switch
located at the rear of the unit.
• The KanguruClone supplies power to all drives during a cloning session. There is no need to
connect an external power source to the drives. The unit can supply up to 1.5A at 12V and up to
1A at 5V to each drive.
Note: the drives are not powered until you start a copy operation.
• It is OK to connect and disconnect Master or Target drives while the KanguruClone is powered
on. However, do NOT connect or disconnect drives while any operation is running or is in
progress. The green LED light will blink to indicate that the unit is cloning or operating.
• The supplied cables are NOT standard cables like the ones found in a PC. Do not attempt to use
these cables in a PC nor to use PC cables with the KanguruClone. Doing so may cause damage
to the unit and drives.
• Your the Source port is labeled 'S'. Target ports are any other ports labeled with a number.
• Connect all Master and Target hard drives before you execute an operation.
