1. Introduction to the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Logicube Omniclone Xi™. You are now the proud owner of a state-of-the-art IDE/SATA disk cloning device. The Omniclone Xi™ is designed to be easy enough to be used by a novice, yet offers many professional features that are not available anywhere else. The Logicube Omniclone Xi™ copies the contents of one hard disk drive to one or more others1.
INTRODUCTION Hundreds of different types of file systems have been designed through the years. Only a handful are in common use. Among those are FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS. FAT16 – The file system used by DOS since version 3.3. This file system can be a maximum size of 2GB, and can be used under Win95/98, Win2000, and Windows NT. It is still a widely used file system. FAT is the acronym of File Allocation Table, with entries that are 16 bit wide, hence the FAT16 name.

INTRODUCTION Figure 1.
INTRODUCTION Caution: Avoid dropping the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ or subjecting it to sharp jolts. When in use, place it on a flat surface. Caution: Keep the unit dry. If you need to clean your Logicube Omniclone Xi™, use a lightly damp, lint free cloth. Avoid using soap or other cleaning agents particularly those containing bleach, ammonia, alcohol or other harsh chemicals. Caution: Do not attempt to service the Logicube Omniclone Xi™! Doing so may void the warranty.
2. Getting Started (Fast Start) Applying power to the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ The Logicube Omniclone Xi™ is able to detect whether an IDE (parallel) or Serial ATA (SATA) drive is attached to the Master or Target positions. The unit is capable of cloning to/from a SATA drive to an IDE drive and vice versa (as well as IDE to IDE and SATA to SATA). NOTE: Never attach both an IDE and SATA drive to the same drive position. The unit can only handle one drive on each position.
GETTING STARTED unit. In 2 – 3 seconds, the main “Splash” screen appears. Connecting Serial ATA (SATA) Drives 1. Locate the Master position on the top of your Omniclone-Xi™ unit. You will notice three connections: One for a flat cable (the drive data cable) and another for a small drive power cable. Above is the third connector for the Serial ATA cable.
GETTING STARTED Power and Reset buttons The Logicube Omniclone Xi™ includes one On/Off switch and one reset button. The power switch is a rocker switch that is located on the unit’s power supply. The reset button is located on the back of the unit underneath the Compact Flash Drive slot. When the unit needs to be soft-booted (or power cycled), press the reset button and hold it in momentarily. Wait a couple of seconds and let go, the unit will reboot and be ready to use in a few seconds.
GETTING STARTED 2. Press and hold the Set button, then release the Reset button. 3. Hold the Set button until the unit boots to a screen that reads “Touchpad Calibration. Please touch square with finger (1/5)”. 4. Look for a square at the top of the screen. Touch the square when it is located. 5. Repeat the previous step four more times. The unit will count each time the square is pressed correctly. It will count (1/5), (2/5), etc. 6.
GETTING STARTED If an error occurs during cloning, the Status indicator lights on the front panel will shut off. If one of the drives caused the error to occur, the Status LED of the drive will remain lit. The AMBER light on the light bar lights up when the unit prompts the user to enter information during a cloning or diagnostic operation. The RED light will come on if a problem is encountered during cloning or any other operation.
3. Cloning Modes and Settings Main Menu Screen The main menu screen appears when the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ is first powered up. It displays the Title Screen and the Time/Date. It also displays two menu options: About and Drives. Time/Date Settings The Omniclone Xi™ has a real-time clock that keeps track of the correct time and date. The time and date can be easily set by following this procedure: 1. Touch the screen over the Time and Date. A numeric Keypad will come up. 2.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS To return to the main menu, simply press the “Back” icon at any time. Drives Select the Drive Info screen by pressing the “Drives” icon. The unit will then power up all of the drives that are attached. After 30 to 45 seconds, the unit will show a list of all the drives it has detected. If a drive is pressed on the Touch Screen, the unit will access the drive and report back the drive’s model number, capacity, geometry and other information.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS NOTE: Each time the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ is rebooted the cloning mode and preference settings are saved from the last cloning session. Clever Clone™ Mode This is the default mode. It clones ALL partitions on the Master drive to the Target drives, automatically deciding the fastest method possible for each partition found.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS unique copy method3 to use for each. The available methods are: Clever Clone™ – The default mode that lets the Omniclone Xi™ determine the best (usually fastest) way to clone. It is denoted by the light bulb icon. It works with all FAT16/FAT32 and NTFS type partitions. NOTE: NTFS Clever Copy™ is an optional feature and will only be available if purchased and installed on your unit. Defragment – Forces the defragmentation of all partition data.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS 4. On the right hand side you will see a designator for the partition type. Some examples are: • 16 - FAT16 partition • 32 - FAT32 partition • NT - NTFS partition • Linux – Linux partition • ?? - unknown partition 5. Touch the scroll icons to place the cursor by a given partition, and then touch the space to the left of the Volume Label multiple times to cycle among the 4 options. See Figure 7 below. 6. Scroll to other partitions and repeat Step 5.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS Mirror Simple partition mirror (no adjustments) None Do not copy this partition Mirror Clone™ Mode This mode simply makes a bit-by-bit mirror copy of the Master drive. It does not adjust any values. This mode is only recommended when all else fails and even then only between similar geometry drives. It is also recommended for non-Windows partitions like UNIX, LINUX and other such systems.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS Master Manager™ Mode (Optional) This is a special mode that assists in the creation of Master drives. It lets the user choose exactly one partition from the drive in the Master position (referred to henceforth as the Source drive) and clone it to the drive in the Target 1 position (referred to henceforth as the Destination drive). The Master Manager is a useful tool to aid in the creation of a multi-partition Master drive.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS drive. If you are ready to do this, choose “Yes” to continue. 6. NOTE: When Clever Clone™ scales down an NTFS partition, it can only scale it to 55% of the original size. 7. Both drives will now power up. After a few seconds the unit will display a list of all Source partitions. 8. Touch the scroll icons to place the cursor by one single partition, and then touch the space to the left of the Volume Label multiple times to cycle among the 4 options.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS Optional Preference Settings In addition the different cloning modes, there are preference settings that can be used to adjust the behavior of the cloning operation. Each of these preference settings is accessible through the Settings menu, which can viewed at any time from anywhere in the menu system by pressing the Set button. NOTE: Not all preference settings are available in every cloning mode.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS Speed The speed setting provides the option to set the speed at which an operation will be performed at. UDMA-5 - The software performs a test procedure to determine the fastest setting that the drives will tolerate while streaming data from one to the other. When set to UDMA-5, all lower speed grades will be tested (UDMA 0-4, PIO 0-4). UDMA-4 - Force the unit to use at most this speed.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS Geometry This Mode sets the geometry (Cylinder, Head and Sector) translation used on the Target drive. CHS information is stored in the partition table of the hard drive and is used by the BIOS to determine from which partition to boot. The correct setting will depend upon the capacity of the Target drive and on the BIOS of the PC in which it will be used.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS for security and authentication purposes. The same SID numbers are found in the system registry in various locations. When such drives are cloned, the SID numbers get copied without change. If the Target drive participates in the same network as the Master, there will be a security breach, which will cause undesirable network behavior. To avoid this issue with Windows NT and Windows 2000, we recommend a freeware SID changer called NewSID.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS if an error such as a bad drive sector is encountered. Skip - Skip will allow the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ to continue by stepping over the bad sector. Retry - Retry option will instruct the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ to make several attempts to read data from the damaged area of the drive. Recover - Recover will attempt to recover as many bytes of data as possible from each bad sector that is encountered NOTE: data in any skipped sectors will NOT be copied to the Target drive.
CLONING MODES AND SETTINGS the license key, follow this procedure to enter it into your Logicube Omniclone Xi ™. Set Option Step-by-Step 1.

Database This setting is covered in Chapter 6: The Database/Barcode Option. Password This setting is used to set a password that restricts access to the Omniclone Xi™ unit. If a password is set, then every time that the unit is rebooted a password prompt will come up.
5. OmniDiagnostics™ Introduction OmniDiagnostics™ is a powerful set of features that aid in the recovery and repair of drives with bad or weak data sectors, and in the secure erasure of sensitive data. NOTE: OmniDiagnostics™ is an option that can be purchased for your Omniclone Xi™ unit. Please contact Logicube if you wish to purchase any of the option packages. OmniDiagnostics™ Features Scan Target Mode Scan Target mode scans the Target drives for weak and bad data sectors.
OMNIDIAGNOSTICS™ • Fast (Default) – This is the fastest. • Thorough – This is the most thorough. The Thorough operation writes patterns to some sectors, which can cause data corruption. Use this setting only when data loss is not an issue. Scan Target Mode Step-by-Step 1. From anywhere in the menu system, press the Set button to enter the Settings menu. 2. Press the Cloning Mode icon that appears in the upper left-hand corner. A list of the available cloning modes appears. 3.
OMNIDIAGNOSTICS™ Repair Target Mode Step-by-Step 1. From anywhere in the menu system, press the Set button to enter the Settings menu. 2.

OMNIDIAGNOSTICS™ quickly wiping a drive where removal of sensitive information is not an issue. WipeClean™ Settings The following settings are used in configuring WipeClean™ Target mode: Passes – Determines how many passes of all 0’s and all 1’s are written to the drive. The default is 1 for compliance with DoD M-5220. Value – Select the value to be written on the last pass. The options are 0xf6, 0x00, 0xff, and Random (DoD default).
OMNIDIAGNOSTICS™ 8. A message will appear stating that portions of your Target drive will be overwritten. If you are prepared to continue, choose “”. If you wish to abort the operation, choose “”. 9. If “” is chosen, a second message will appear stating that you are about to erase the Target. If you wish to continue, choose “”. If you want to abort the operation, choose “”. 10. If “” is chosen, the WipeClean™ Target operation will begin and a status screen will appear. 11.
6. The Database/Barcode Option Introduction The Logicube Database/Barcode Option gives your Omniclone Xi™ the ability to record vital cloning information and store it on the Compact Flash (CF) drive. This information is stored in a format that is easily read by most database programs (i.e. Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, dBase, etc.). The information is gathered from the cloning session, drive firmware and the optional Barcode Scanner.
THE DATABASE/BARCODE OPTION Breakdown of Config.txt Information collected by the Database option is governed by a “Config List”. This list contains all of the items that the Database will record. It also indicates whether or not the Barcode Scanner is used. Config lists can be created with the Omniclone-Xi™, (or from a text editor like Notepad.exe). The lists are stored together in a file called Config.txt. This file is stored on the CF drive.
THE DATABASE/BARCODE OPTION Scan2- UserEnteredName2 – This is the second line of data collected by the Barcode Scanner (i.e. Batch Number). The entered name needs to be 18 characters or less. Scan3- UserEnteredName3 – This is the third line of information collected by the Barcode Scanner (i.e. Location Number). The entered name needs to be 18 characters or less. Time – This records the time that the cloning session completed. The time comes from the Omniclone-Xi’s own internal clock.
THE DATABASE/BARCODE OPTION We can see from this example that a Master drive was cloned to a single Target drive on May 18, 2005. Mirror Clone mode was used and the cloning session completed successfully. NOTE: The database.csv file will continue to receive data from cloning sessions until it is renamed or deleted, at which point a new database.csv file will be created. If you need to change Config Lists, make sure that you rename or remove the old database.csv file from the CF drive.
THE DATABASE/BARCODE OPTION 11. When the cloning Session is finished, the unit will write data to the database.csv file. If one or more “Scan” lines are in the Config List, then the User will be prompted to use the Barcode Scanner. Fig 3. Barcode Scan Prompt 12. When prompted, aim the Barcode Scanner at the Barcode to be read. Hold the scanner at an angle about 6 – 8 inches from the barcode. Hold down the trigger until the Scanner beeps. 13.
THE DATABASE/BARCODE OPTION NOTE: Any standard printer can be used as long as it is able to print from plain ASCII codes. Manage Database – This allows the user to delete one or more Config Lists from the Config.txt file. Create Config – This setting allows the user to create a new Config List. Once the list is finished, it is saved to the Config.txt file. Creating a New Config List, Step-by-Step 1.
THE DATABASE/BARCODE OPTION Barcode Scanner The Barcode Scanner is used to enter data that is not accessible from inside the Omniclone-Xi™ unit. The data could include things such as an Operator Badge number or other data that is in barcode form. As of this writing, the Barcode scanner wand that ships with the Database/Barcode option is a CCDLR (Long Range) Scanner made by Wasp Technologies (Model # WLR-7100).
THE DATABASE/BARCODE OPTION NOTE: A hands-free stand is available from Wasp Technologies. Beep Settings – These settings change the volume level of the “beep” that the scanner emits when it successfully reads a barcode. Enable Bar Code Symbiologies – This setting allows your scanner to read all types of barcodes (i.e. UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, etc.). This setting may be necessary if you are utilizing an unusual barcode type.
7. Using the USB Port Introduction The integral USB port on your Logicube Omniclone Xi™ provides connectivity of your CF drive or Master hard drive (the unit’s Master drive) to any USB-enabled PC. Both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 are supported. USB connectivity is available for the Master drive only. It allows the drive to connect to Windows as an external USB drive. If the Master partition is readable by Windows it will receive a drive letter and then can be accessed through Windows like any other drive.
USING THE USB PORT How to use under Windows (for Master Drive Management) 1. Make sure a Master drive is properly attached to your Logicube Omniclone Xi™. 2. Make sure your PC is running Win98 or above. 3. Connect the USB cable (provided) to a PC USB slot on one end. Do not attach the other end to the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ yet. 4. Set the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ to USB mode: 5. From anywhere in the menu system, press the Set button to enter the Settings menu. 6.
USING THE USB PORT 1. Locate the USB icon in the system tray (typically at the bottom right of screen). 2. Click the icon once. 3. Wait for Windows to bring up a message that it is safe to remove the device. (Different versions of windows will behave slightly differently).
8. Compact Flash (CF) Card Introduction The Logicube Omniclone Xi™ comes with a 64MB Compact Flash (CF) Drive that is inserted in a CF slot at the back of the unit. This little drive is used mostly for loading software on the Logicube Omniclone Xi™, but it has other functions such as storage for the Database/Barcode Option. NOTE: It is highly recommended that the CF Card be left inside the Omniclone-Xi for optimal performance. NOTE: Please check our website periodically at www.logicube.
USING THE USB PORT Connecting the CF Drive to Windows via USB This is necessary to load new software files to the CF Drive. The CF drive is connected through Windows via the Software Setup Screen. Connecting Through the Software Setup Menu USB connectivity is available for the CF drive through the Software Setup Screen. This screen resides in the unit’s Firmware and is not affected by the software. 1. Make sure your PC is running in Windows 98 or above. 2.
COMPACT FLASH (CF) CARD Logicube Omniclone Xi™, the unit has to be properly "unmounted" from Windows. To do that: 1. Locate the USB icon in the system tray (typically at the bottom right of screen). 2. Click the icon once. 3. Wait for Windows to bring up a message that it is safe to remove the device. (Different versions of windows will behave slightly differently).
9. User Replaceable Hardware Introduction Many of the components that make up the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ are designed to be removable by the user. This includes drive cables, drive stations and even the power supply itself. This is beneficial in a production setting where a company cannot afford to send in an entire 10-Target duplication unit to repair one drive station. Instead, Logicube can ship a new drive station module and the user can install it in less than one minute.
USER REPLACEABLE HARDWARE Proper Handling of Drive Cables UDMA Cables – When removing the cable from a drive, be sure to pull on the white tab that is attached to the head. DO NOT pull on the cable itself as this will diminish cable life. Power cables – Remove the cable from the drive by gripping the white plastic head firmly and pulling straight out. Do NOT pull on the wires as this will damage the cable.
USER REPLACEABLE HARDWARE Power Supply The OCXi and OCX5i models have an internal power supply that can also be replaced by the user. When it is determined that the power supply needs to be replaced, please follow the procedure below: Replacement Power Supplies are available from Logicube. Please contact Logicube Sales for more information. NOTE: The Omniclone OCX2i uses a separate power supply that is not physically connected to the unit. Removal and Installation of the Power Supply 1.
10. Software Loading Instructions Logicube Omniclone Xi ™ Software Updating Procedures New and improved software will appear from time to time on our web site at www.logicube.com. It is possible to update the operating software in the field by a user. Two common ways are available: 1. Using the Compact Flash card 2. Using a parallel port connection NOTE: Logicube provides a floppy disk that contains a backup copy of the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ software. This software is already loaded on your unit.
SOFTWARE LOADING INSTRUCTIONS 2. Boot The Logicube Omniclone Xi™ while holding down the Start/Stop button. The unit will boot to the Software Setup Menu. 3. Use the Select button to Scroll down to “Engage CF to USB”. Press the Start/Stop button. 4. . The status lights should light up for 15 – 20 seconds, then start to blink. 5. After about 30-40 seconds the unit will reboot to the new software. 6. Check the version and date of this software by pressing the “About” icon at the main menu screen.
SOFTWARE LOADING INSTRUCTIONS Note: Windows 2000 and NT that have NTFS file systems cannot be used since NTFS is not accessible through DOS. The file systems that are compatible include FAT16 and FAT32. One possible workaround for this is to configure the boot diskette to create a RAMDRIVE and then copy and run the update files from that drive.
11. Frequently Asked Questions and Answers FAQ’s Q. By comparison my Logicube Omniclone Xi™ appears to be operating slower than other units. A. Make sure that your unit is using the latest software. Visit http://www.logicube.com/ and go to the support page to view the latest software level and if necessary download the software for your system. Q. Drive information as displayed on the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ Drive Info screen does not agree with the label fixed to the target HDD.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q: Can the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ clone partitions created with file systems such as UNIX, LINUX and HPFS? A: Yes, but results are guaranteed only if they are cloned between identical Master and Target drives. However, partitions of some versions of UNIX will self-repair upon the first boot. Q: Can the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ defragment a partition? A: Yes.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q: How does the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ handle Windows NT Security Identification (SID) duplication issues? A: The Logicube Omniclone Xi™ does duplicate the SID. Because of this, it is recommended that a SID changer be installed on the Master drive so that the first time the newly cloned Target is booted-up, all SID's will be replaced with fresh ones. There are a number of SID changer utilities available. A freeware SID changer is available at www.sysinternals.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q: Can the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ correctly clone hard drives with dual boot configurations, even in conjunction with NTFS? A: Yes. The Logicube Omniclone Xi™ will clone a FAT16 followed by either an NTFS or another FAT16 partition correctly and adjust all the necessary structures so that dual booting is possible. It will also correctly handle dual boot configurations that use the same partition.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Also check and make sure that the first partition selected for cloning on the Master drive consists of a bootable operating system. It is possible to select a data-only partition to be cloned. However, if it becomes the first partition on the Target, a PC will not consider that drive to be a valid boot drive. Finally, scan and check the Master drive for possible problems using a hard drive utility such as Window’s Scandisk or Chkdsk.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q: Why do I get the error “Can’t fit data to Target” when cloning between drives of the same size? A: The drives may be from different manufacturers and the Target actually somewhat smaller than the Master. Also, the Master drive may have some data at the very end of the partition. This would prevent it from scaling down. We recommend that you use a defragment utility on the Master drive before cloning it to the Target again.
12. Reference Glossary BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) Built-in software on a motherboard that contains the instructions required for a PC to boot, control the hard drives, keyboard, monitor and serial communications, and perform other low level functions. CHS (Cylinder, Head, Sector) The normal or default translation mode used by a PC for hard drives that are 504 MB or smaller in capacity. CHS is the only translation mode available in older BIOS (generally any made prior to 1994).
REFERENCE A method of checking for errors in data transmitted from one device to another, e.g. from one hard drive to another. With CRC the sending device applies a 16- or 32-bit polynomial to a block of data to be transmitted and then appends the result to the block. The receiving device applies the same polynomial to the data block and compares that result with the original. If the two values agree, then the data has been transmitted without error.
REFERENCE 65,536 clusters while FAT32 allows for enough clusters to support up to two terabytes of data.
REFERENCE Master/Single Drive, IDE The primary or controlling device connected to an IDE interface. The second device connected to an IDE interface is called the Slave drive. Whether a device is the Master or the Slave is determined by jumper settings on the device, itself. Not to be confused with Logicube Omniclone Xi™ Master Drive. NTFS (New Technology File System) The standard file system of the Windows NT operating system.
REFERENCE QWERTY Refers to the arrangement of the keys on a standard English computer keyboard. The name derives from the first six characters located on the top row of the keyboard. RAM Disk RAM that has been configured to appear to a computer as a hard drive. Files on a RAM disk can be accessed just as files on a physical drive. However, RAM disks lose their contents once the computer has been turned off or rebooted. Also known as a RAMDISK or RAMDRIVE.
REFERENCE Target Drive, Logicube Omniclone Xi™ The hard drive to which the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ copies the contents of the Master drive. The Target drive is commonly the one connected externally to the Logicube Omniclone Xi™. Translation Mode, CHS A way of logically representing the physical geometry of a hard drive such that the BIOS of a computer can interface with it. The type of translation mode supported by the BIOS will determine the maximum size a drive can be.
