ACT-HDC 112 SH Quick Installation Guide 1. Please read carefully these notes below before copying. (1) ACT-HDC 112 SH supports all kind of Image Copy such as SCSI HDD copy to SCSI HDD; SCSI HDD copy to IDE HDD; SCSI HDD copy to SATA HDD; IDE HDD copy to IDE HDD; IDE HDD copy to SATA HDD, and SATA HDD copy to SATA HDD. (2) ACT-HDC 112 SH only supports one to one copying when you execute the copy of SCSI HDD to SCSI HDD, SCSI HDD to IDE/SATA HDD, and IDE/SATA HDD to SCSI HDD. ACT-HDC 112 SH supports copying one to two when you execute the copy of IDE HDD to IDE/SATA HDD and SATA HDD to SATA/IDE HDD. (4) Before putting on your source HDD and target HDD, please confirm the power is turning off, and then turn on the power to copy. After copying completely, first, turn off the power, and then take away your HDD from ACT-HDC 112 SH. (5) Before copying, please check again your source HDD whether is correct, you can know this information in function 6 Select Source. If your source is SCSI HDD, please check the SCSI ID, generally, the default is SCSI ID0. If your source is IDE HDD, please check whether the IDE ID is ID0. (6) Before copying, please check it again whether the capacity of the target HDD is equal or more than the target. (7) When SCSI HDD copy to SCSI HDD, please disable your terminator on the HD. This parameter only appears on single end (SE) SCSI and does not appear on LVD SCSI. (8) Please pay attention that connecting of between adapter and 2.5 inch HDD when you copy 2.5 inch HDD with adapter, because the pins of 2.5 inch HDD
is more loosing to lead poor connecting and copy fail. (9) Hi-Speed Data transferring Rate: 9-1:SCSI HDD copy to SCSI HDD is about 8MB/sec. 9-2:SCSI HDD copy to IDE/SATA HDD is about 16MB/sec. 9-3:IDE/SATA HDD copy to SCSI HDD is about 14MB/sec. 9-4:IDE/SATA HDD copy to IDE/SATA HDD is about 30MB/sec. 2.Operation of copying one by one 2-1 Buttons and LCD 1. It shows all functions and messages. 2. It is used to scroll up functions or menus. 3. It is used to scroll down functions or menus. 4. It is used to execute a selected function. 5. It is used to cancel a selected function. 2-2 Main Functions 2-2-1 Copy HD :Function 1 Copy is to copy data from a source HDD directly into target HDD. After the source HDD and target HDD are detected, presses ENT to start copying. 2-2-2 Compare HD :Function 2 Compare is to make a comparison between the source HDD and the target HDD after copying. 2-2-3 Verify HD :Function 3 Verify is to examine if the target HDD can be read correctly after copying. 2-2-4 Prescan HD : Function 4 Prescan is to scan if the source HDD can be
read correctly, and by the way to test the reading speed. 2-2-5 Disk Info : Function 5 Disk Info is to show the basic information of source HDD. 2-2-6 Select Source: Function 6 select source is to let you select which HDD as the source from which copying will be done. For example, before you execute copying between IDE HDD and SCSI HDD, you have to check which one is your source HDD to avoid your source HDD damage. If your source and target HDD are SCSI interface, remember to set the source ID as 0 and set the target ID as 1 on the SCSI HDD. 2-2-7 Setup :Function 7 Setup lets you change the default settings. 2-2-8 Adv-setup :Function 8 Adv-setup lets you change the system configuration. 3.General Functions 3-1 Prescan :Before copying or fail copying, you can use this function to scan if the source HDD can be read correctly, and test the reading speed. 3-2 Read Error Skip:If 8-01 Read Error Skip is to neglect any error that occurs during copying. Under normal circumstances, when an error occurs during copying, a message will appear LCD. 3-3 DMA mode : Function7-02 DMA mode is depending on quality of your IDE HDD to set transferring rate of this HDD copying. If your source HDD is IDE or SATA HDD, but target is SCSI; when you execute copying HDD, only one thing you have to pay attention is to make sure DMA mode is setting on transferring rate of UDMA0!!
3-4 Device Info : Function 7-10 Device Info is to show the information of the HDD you have installed. 3-5 System Info : Function 7-11 System Info is to show the information of the firmware of the system. 3-6 Load Default : Function 8-05 Load Default is to make all changed settings return to defaults. After pressing ESC about 2 second, you can choice this function. 3-7 Erase HD Data : Function 7-12 Erase HD Data is to delete all data of the source HDD; when you execute this function, it is unrecoverable, please make sure the HDD is not your original HDD that you want to copy..
