Erase function.
This simply erases all files on the Target drives.
Press and holding the Erase button for three seconds, the erase cycle will
start. During the erase cycle, the Target drive LED’s will flash green. When
erasure is complete, the LED’s will go steady green and the Erase LED will go
out. If any of the Target drive/s is faulty, then the LED for that drive will go red.
The Erase LED will also go red. Once the faulty Target drive/s is removed, the
Erase LED will go green. Now press the Erase button to restart the erase cycle.
Alternatively, press the Cancel button to cancel the operation.
Copy Source to Target function.
With a Source drive (containing a folder called Source) plugged into the source
socket, and at least one Target drive plugged into any Target socket, press the
Copy Source to Target button. The LED’s on the Source & Target drives and
the “Copy Source to Target” button will flash Green, while the “Source” folder
is copied to the Target drives. When copy is complete, the LED on the Copy
Source to Target button will switch off, and the LED’s on the completed Target
drives will be green. The Source and Target drives can now be removed.
If a Target drive LED goes red, it is either faulty or has insufficient space for the
Source folder. The Copy Source to Target button LED also goes red to
indicate that some units need to be erased or removed.
We now have 3 options:
Option 1: Remove the drives with insufficient space
Option 2: Cancelled with the cancel button.
Option 3: Pressing the “Erase” button will Erase the largest Target drive.
This will erase all files on Target drives showing red LED’s. During the Erase
operation, the LED’s will flash green on the Target drives with insufficient
space, and the devices must not be removed. After the erase the Copy Source
to Target operation will take place.
Copy Target to Source function.
With a folder named “Target” in each Target drive, and a Source drive plugged
in, press the Copy Target to Source button. The Source & Target drives
LED’s will all flash green. When the Copy is complete, the Source & Target
LED’s will be a steady green, and the Copy Target to Source LED will go out.
It is possible that there simply isn’t room on the source drive to copy all the files
from the Targets. In this case, the LED on the Target drive with the largest
content goes red. Also, the Copy Target to Source LED and the Source drive
LED, goes red.
We now have 2 options:
Option 1: Remove the source drive, and install another drive with larger
capacity, or press the Cancel button and the operation will
be cancelled.
Option 2: Remove the Target drive showing a red LED. (If there is now
sufficient space on the source drive for the copy process, the Source
LED and the Copy Target to Source button LED will go green).
Alternatively, press the Cancel button and the operation will be
cancelled.
Now press the Copy Target to Source button and the operation will start.
If the Copy Target to Source button LED remains red, then repeat Option 2
until it goes green.

found on the Source drive, the Source LED and the Copy Source to
Target button LED will go red.
