CHAPTER 4

Diagnostic

The KanguruClone 4HD includes several diagnostic modes to run reports on a
drives physical status. The following modes are used to verify if a drive can be
used with the KanguruClone 4HD:
• Random Seek – randomly reads sectors to see if there are bad sectors in
the hard drive.
• Seq. Seek – checks the hard drives in a specific pattern to check if there
are any bad sectors in the hard drives.
• Write Pattern – checks if there are any sectors that cannot be written to.
You can define the pattern in the Configuration mode.
• Read Verify – reads all sectors to check if there are any sectors that
cannot be read.
To run a diagnostic function:
1. Attach the hard drive(s) that you would like to run the diagnostic tests on.
2. Press the left arrow to enter the Setup Menu. Make sure the > arrow is next
to Diagnostic by using the up and down arrows, and then press the right
arrow to enter the Function menu. You can now select the desired Diagnostic
mode (Random Seek, Seq. Seek, Write Zero, or Read Verify), and use the
right arrow to confirm [x]. Press the left arrow two times to return to the main
menu. You can now press the right arrow to begin.
4. Once the KanguruClone 4HD has finished the diagnostics, it will display a "V"
for passed Target drives, and an "X" for failed Target drives.
