When a 3.5-inch SATA hard drive is connected to the ARS-2051PC/2074C/2078C, please follow
the operational procedures below:
You can check if the hard drive is detected by the ARS-2051PC/2074C/2078C through the
device information, function list no. 11-15. If a hard drive is detected and correctly recognized by
the ARS-2051PC/2074C/2078C, the CH0 in the device information will be HDD. Before any
operation, the hard drive has to be formatted. You can format the hard drive through the 13-04
function.
Set the hard drive as the source through the eighth function (Select Source). (The default value
is source.)
Choose a partition for data storage through the ninth function, “Image”.
If the selected partition is empty, insert a DVD/CD to the DVD-ROM and choose the 9-01
function, “Load”. Press ENT to back up the DVD/CD to the selected partition. Different data
should be stored in different partitions.
Exit the menu by pressing ESC and switch to the first function, “Copy”, by pressing ▲ or ▼.
Insert a blank DVD/CD into the DVD burner and press ENT to start copying.
Upon completion of data copying, the successfully duplicated DVD/CD will be ejected
automatically. The default setting is automatic ejection and it can be changed.
