Firmware Update Procedure

(Requires one hard drive containing the ￿rmware ￿le):

1.Create a 50MB HDD partition with FAT/FAT32 or NTFS ￿les system on any SATA hard drive

2.Download the ￿rmware and unzip the ￿le to .BIN ￿le format

3.Copy the .BIN ￿le onto the 50 MB partition of the HDD

4.Insert this drive to the Source slot of the duplicator. For subsystem, connect the drive to the Source SATA port

5.Select "Firmware Update" function under the "Setup" or "Advanced Setup" menu and press ENT to do the update. To access the "Advanced Setup", hold onto the ESC button for 5 seconds. The new option will appear

6.Once completed, it will reboot and show you the new ￿rmware version

Notes:

SECURE ERASE - HDD duplicator sends a WIPE

command to the hard drive. This command ￿lls 00 string to entire HDD

OVERWRITE - There are three options: One pass, 3 passes and 7 passes 5220.22-M. The duplicator writes a string of pattern over the entire disk one time, three times or seven times. (5220.22-M is the DoD standard for drive sanitization)

Please note that some drives may become locked and cannot be initialized after the SECURE ERASE or OVERWRITE. Should this happen, use the following procedures to unlock the drive:

1.Place drive in the source slot

2.Execute "PreScan" function for 1 minute

3.Press "ESC" key until you see "User Abort" on the LCD screen

4.Now remove the drive from the duplicator and connect it to your system, the HDD should be recognized and be able to initialize again
