of the source drive. Available with the purchase of an optional software activation package
•Multi-session capability allows users to perform multiple tasks, including cloning, wiping or
hashing concurrently
•Write-protected master drives –Any drives designated as master by the user are
automatically write-blocked to prevent any alteration to sensitive data on the master drive
•Task Macro feature allows users to set specific tasks to be performed sequentially. For
example, wipe, then clone, then hash.
•Multiple cloning modes:
oMirror Copy –(bit-for-bit copy). Supports all OS including Linux and Mac®
oClever Copy –(copies only data areas, skips blank sectors, scales partitions to target).
Supports FAT16/FAT32/NTFS and Linux (ext, ext2, ext3, ext4) file systems.
oMulti-Image Master –Store multiple ZXi-10G created images in a repository on a USB
enclosure connected to ZXi-10G or on a shared network location and then clone to
selected targets
•Bad sector handling –When bad sectors are encountered on the source drive the cloning
process can abort or skip the bad sector. Bad sectors are logged for review.
•Advanced administrative functions allow users to create/manage image repositories, manage
network settings, create user profiles, save configurations, manage drive station assignments,
etc.

The ZXi-10G comes standard with SAS/SATA cables. One end of the cable has a male connector that
connects to the ZXi-10G. On the other end is a female connector that connects to a drive or Logicube
qualified drive adapter.
Support for SAS drives is optional. To verify if this option is
installed, press the Statistics icon from the navigation menu
on the left and select the Options tab. To purchase the SAS
option, contact our sales team at [e-mail].
Cables and adapters are available for the following drive types:
•SAS
•SATA
•USB
•Thunderbolt (through the USB-C port)
•M.2 (NVMe, AHCI, and SATA) (optional)
•1.8” micro SATA (optional)
•2.5” and 3.5” PATA/IDE (optional)
•1.8” ZIF (optional)
•1.8” PATA/IDE (optional)
•eSATA (optional)
•mSATA (optional)
•Flash Media (optional)
The Thunderbolt/USB-C ports are not hot-pluggable when using
Thunderbolt drives. For a Thunderbolt drive to be recognized, the
ZXi-10G must be turned off when connecting a Thunderbolt drive.
When connecting/disconnecting drives using drive adapters, it is
recommended to keep the drive connected to the adapter, then
connect/disconnect the adapter to/from the SAS/SATA cable, or
connect/disconnect the SAS/SATA cable from the drive bay.

Logicube ZXi-10G™ User’s Manual 8
The ZXi-10G ports are hot-swappable (except for the Thunderbolt 4 ports).
Drives that are not being used in any task (clone, hash, wipe, etc.) can be
disconnected at any time.
However, some drives, are not hot-swappable. Please check with the drive
manufacturer to find out if the drive being used does not support hot-swapping.
Each connected drive can be configured as a Master, Target, or
both Master/Target. For details and important information on
how to change the Bay Roles, see Section 5.9.4.
When disconnecting drives, it is very important to make sure the
drives are not being used on any task. Disconnecting drives while
the ZXi-10G is using the drive for a task may cause data loss.
2.3 Drive Bay LEDs
Each bay has a drive station that has the following LEDs:
•Green LED
•OFF –The ZXi-10G is not detecting a connection and is not supplying power to that
bay.
•ON (Solid) –The ZXi-10G is detecting a connection (drive or adapter) and is supplying
power to that bay.
•Yellow/Amber LED
•OFF –There is no activity to the drive/bay.
•ON (Blinking) –There is activity on the bay. Typically, this means that data is being
read from, written to, or the drive’s information is being accessed. This is typically
blinking when a drive is connected (while the ZXi-10G is gathering drive information
details) or during any clone, wipe, or hash task as the ZXi-10G is either reading from
the drive or writing to it.
•ON (Solid) –This LED will turn solid if a drive that is being cloned to, hashed, or wiped
stops working, alerting that there may be a problem with the drive.
2.4 The User Interface
The user interface (UI) has been designed to quickly and easily input commands. It is simple and
intuitive showing common icons such as tasks, modes of operation, and scroll icons on the screen. The
UI is designed to be easily followed, going from left to right across the screen.

3.0 Quick Start Guide
This chapter gives a basic overview and steps on how to perform different types of operations using
the ZXi-10G (Clone, Hash, Wipe, etc.). Complete details on each operation, menu, or selection, and the
different screens can be found in Chapter 4: Cloning and Chapter 5: Types of Operation.
The ZXi-10G can perform up to five (5) tasks for each mode of operation (specifically Image, Hash,
and/or Wipe).
It is highly recommended to change the passwords for built-
in accounts. Instructions on how to change the passwords to
the two built-in user accounts can be found in Section 5.9.2.2.
There are software options available such as:
-Support for SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives
-Verify functionality
To find out if these options are enabled on ZXi-10G, tap the Statistics

3.1.1 ATA Security Locked Drives
With ZXi-10G software version 2.0 (and newer), drives that are locked with the ATA security
standard can be temporarily unlocked. The password used to lock the drive is required to
unlock the drive.
Drives that are locked with the ATA security standard will show a locked icon in the LOCKED
column when selecting drives (Master or Target).
When the drive is locked, the contents of the drive are not accessible. Locked drives cannot be
cloned (as Master or Target), hashed, or wiped without first being unlocked.
To temporarily unlock the drive, go to the Clone, Hash, or Wipe screen, and in the drive
selection screen, tap the locked icon, The UNLOCK DRIVE screen will appear:
Enter the password to unlock the drive. If the entered password is correct, the screen will
change to show an UNLOCKED icon:
If the wrong password was entered, an ‘Unlock
failed’ message will appear:
Once the drive is unlocked, it can be used for a clone task (as Master or Target), a hash task,
or a wipe task.

QUICK START
Logicube ZXi-10G™ User’s Manual 12
The drive will remain unlocked temporarily until the drive is
disconnected or powered down. If the drive is disconnected then
reconnected, it will be locked again. While the drive is unlocked,
a Secure Erase wipe will permanently remove the password lock.
3.1.2 Blank Disk Check
A blank disk check can be performed to see if a drive has been wiped by the ZXi-10G. This
check may not be accurate if Secure Erase was used to wipe the drive. To perform a blank disk
check:
1. Connect a drive to the ZXi-10G.
2. Go to Drives to see the list of connected drives.
3. Tap the More Info icon to the right of the drive to display information about the drive.
4. Tap or click the down arrow located to the right of the screen to scroll down to the
second page of information.
5. Locate the line that shows “Wiped”. This will either show True (drive is blank) or False.
A drive that has just been wiped by the
ZXi-10G must be disconnected then
reconnected to refresh the drive details.
3.2Clone
This type of operation allows the imaging of a Master drive to one or more Targets.
There are three different imaging modes and several settings to choose from. Drives
can be cloned using Mirror (bit-for-bit copy) or Clever (copies only data areas, skips
blank sectors, and partitions can be resized to fit larger capacity drives).
Details on the different screens
found in the Imaging operation can
be found in Chapter 4: Cloning.
