    Introduction
    For Ease of Use 
     
    To make duplication even easier, we’ve added a feature that lets you match 
    up the logical drives shown in the USB Duplication Suite software with 
    the actual physical port position of that drive.  To take advantage of this 
    function, a “Port Training” needs to be performed to match each USB 
    Port to your 1:16 USB 3.0 Copy Tower.  For example, you would likely 
    designate the upper-leftmost port on the duplicator Port 1 and so on (see 
    image).
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    For details please see section  
    titled Port Training on page 28  
    in the manual.
