Appendix A: Troubleshooting
Common Concerns
1. No display on the LCD or the unit does not operate when the power is on.
 Check the power cable connection and that the environment for the power outlet is normal.
 Make sure the power voltage on the duplicator matches the voltage of the power outlet.
 If the system was stored in a location where the temperature dropped below 32⁰F (0⁰C)
within the past 24 hours, leave the system in a warm room with temperatures at least 65⁰F
(19⁰C) for 4 hours prior to powering it on.
2.
The system cannot recognize the hard drive
 Check to make sure the hard drive tray (with the hard drive installed) is firmly attached to
the system
 Check to make sure the hard drive is powered by verify the “green” LED on the hard drive
status indicator
3.
Buttons do not function.
 The system could still be busy on a task. Give it sometime and press it again. If it still does
not work, turn off the machine, and then restart the machine after a minute.
4.
Copy process completed but the copied hard drives are not readable / executable?
 Change the “Copy Mode” to “RAW”; this will likely solve any data related issue.
 Use the “Compare” function to check that the target hard drive(s) are identical to the source
hard drive.
 The Read Error Skip or Write Error Skip settings under the “Setup” menu, may have turned
on inadvertently. It is possible the skipped data (due to read/write error) may be causing
this issue.
5.
The failure rate is high.
 Make sure hard drive is properly seated prior power on individual HDD Bay.
 Quality of the hard drive may be poor. Please try some other name branded flash devices.

on the system. Please contact Tech Support if the system is getting unstable.
