4. Notice & Reminder Important Notice Read the complete operation instructions carefully, contributes to a better operation. Make sure the source device is correct and workable. To guarantee data consistency, we highly recommend the capacity of source and targets should be the same.
Refers to operations that need to be followed or to be cautious to avoid mistakes. 8. Product Overview The MU Series is an ultra-high speed duplicator, and each SATA port is independent. That's why no matter how many targets running, it has the same performance of transmission speed, far beyond PC-based duplicators.
9. Product Features Operation Type Standalone, FPGA based operation (Non-PC based system design). Patented Daisy Chain Technology Dedicated bandwidth enables high-volume duplications without speed degradation. Auto Power Control System Protect the HDD from getting damaged during hot removal from the duplicator. Clear &...

6.2 Skip Error Skips bad sectors during Copy/Compare. 6.3 Minimum Speed Allows user to disable or set minimum threshold speed. 6.4 Check Source Minimum Speed Allows user to enable or disable the source speed check. 6.5 Language Sets preferred language: English or Chinese. 6.6.1 Unknown Format Allows user to copy or skip unknown format(s).
12.Start to Copy Step 1: Prepare Source & Targets Prepare a source HDD\SDD and target HDDs\SDDs. (It’s strongly recommended the source and target are the same capacity.) Step 2: Place Source & Targets Place source HDD at source port, target HDDs to other ports. Step 3: Enter Function "1.Copy"...

Step 4: Completion! Quantity of copy Pass/Fail, duplication time, and checksum value will show on LCD after duplication completes. During process of duplication, every port captures in real-time message shown on LCD. Pass Fail 29:14 Duplication Time Note The result will show light in red(fail) or green(pass). User is responsible for verification of targets’...
13.Setup before Copy/Compare Set Copy Area of Source HDD Appropriate copy area can greatly reduce operation time and have better efficiency. There are four copy modes with different copy areas, please go to function "Copy Area". ➊ System and Files: (Quick Copy data area only) Copies data and skips empty space.

How to select the proper copy area? Example: There are two partitions in one 500G HDD. The charts below illustrate what portion would be duplicated. System and files All Partitions Whole HDD 30GB Data 30GB Data 30GB Data 100GB 100G 100G 70GB 70GB...
III. Auto Skip Lower-Speed HDDs Enter function "6.3 Minimum Speed" to setup minimum required speed of target HDDs. The system will isolate any HDD which cannot reach the minimum required speed. Users can choose “Don’t care” or set the speed value among 10/20/40/60~300MB/second. This setting enables to speed up copying and select HDD speed higher than the setting.
15.Confirm Accuracy by Comparison Step 1: Prepare Source and Targets Prepare the source HDD and target HDDs to compare after duplication is completed. Step 2: Place Source and Targets Place the source HDD to source port, target HDDs to rest of the ports. Step 3: Enter "2.Compare"...
Step 3: Enter function "4. Erase" Use UP DOWN to select the mode of erasing method, and then press <OK>. Data Erase will proceed. Note During erasing, press UP DOWN to view the status of each port. Press <OK> to see the write speed of each port.
