Logicube OmniClone® Xi User’s Manual 1
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 others
1
. The first
drive is typically called the Master, while the
subsequent drives are called Targets. It performs
the copy at speeds that are typically 16 to 32 times
faster than they would be on a PC. The OmniClone
Xi first analyzes the partitions on the Master, then
acts according to a user set mode. Depending on
the mode, the unit will adjust structures to ensure
the validity of the Targets. This process is called
disk cloning.
This manual covers the following Logicube
products: OC2Xi, OC5Xi and OC10Xi. The OC2Xi
can clone two target drives, the OC5Xi can clone 5
target drives and the OC10Xi can clone ten target
drives simultaneously
What Are Partitions?
Partitions are areas on the drive that define a
storage unit. Each partition is represented by a
drive letter at the operating system level (e.g. C:,
D:,...). For that reason, partitions are commonly
called logical drives, or volumes. A partition is
also associated with a file system, or a structure
for laying out files on the partition. We will use these
four words interchangeably throughout this manual.
Hundreds of different types of file systems have
been designed through the years. Only a handful
1
The Logicube OmniClone® Xi is available in 2, 5 and 10 Target drive configurations.

INTRODUCTION
Logicube OmniClone® Xi User’s Manual 2
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 Windows NT,
95, 98, ME, and 2000. FAT is the acronym of File
Allocation Table, with entries that are 16 bit wide,
hence the FAT16 name.
FAT32 –Supported by Windows 98, ME, 2000, and
XP. Entries in the FAT are 32 bits each thus
eliminating the 2GB limit and offering improved
space efficiency.
NTFS –Supported by Windows NT, 2000, XP,
Vista,and 7. Offers improved access speed, and
some security and recoverability features.
The Logicube OmniClone Xi is “aware” of the above
three file systems and will clone them over
“intelligently”.
Features
Clones any IDE, EIDE (PATA) or Serial ATA
Drive.
Data transfer rates in excess of 3.5 GB/min.
Master and Target drives can be of different
size, make and model.
Master drive can contain up to 24 partitions.
Easy to read graphical interface.
Calibrated touch screen for fast input of
settings and data.
Light Bar and buzzer show unit status and
alert operator of any errors.
Automatically scales FAT16/32, NT
4.0/5.0/6.0, and Windows 2000/XP, Vista,
and 7 partitions.
USB port connectivity for the compact Flash.
Optional diagnostics software for drive
scanning and repairing, data recovery, and
Department of Defense (DoD) specification
data wiping.
User-replaceable drive station modules and
power supply for ease of maintenance.
Removable Compact Flash (CF) Drive.

2. Getting Started (Fast Start)
Applying power to the Logicube OmniClone Xi
The Logicube OmniClone Xi is able to detect whether
an IDE (PATA) 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.
Before applying power perform the steps listed below.
Connecting Parallel (IDE, EIDE, UDMA) 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 IDE/PATA
drive data cable) and another for a small drive
power cable. Above is the third connector for the
Serial ATA cable.
Note: The drive that is cloned from is always
referred to as the Master drive and the drives
that are cloned to are always referred to as the
Target drives.
2. Attach the 5” UDMA cable and the drive Power
cable to the connectors.
3. Connect the Master hard drive to the cables and
verify that the drive’s jumper is set to Single
Master.
4. Follow steps 1 –3 to attach drives to the Target
positions of the Logicube OmniClone Xi.
5. Connect the AC Power Cord to the back of the
Logicube OmniClone Xi and power-up the unit. In
2 –3 seconds, the main “Splash” screen appears.

Logicube OmniClone® Xi User’s Manual 8
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.
Note: The drive that is cloned from is always
referred to as the Master drive and the drives
that are cloned to are always referred to as the
Target drives.
2. Attach the 5” SATA cable to the SATA and drive
power connectors.
3. Connect the Master hard drive to the cable.
Note: SATA drives usually do not need to
have a jumper set to Single Master.
4. Follow steps 1 –3 to attach drives to the Target
positions of the Logicube OmniClone Xi.
5. Connect the AC Power Cord to the back of the
Logicube OmniClone Xi and power-up the unit. In
2 –3 seconds, the main “Splash” screen appears.
Connecting other types of drives
Logicube sells specialized adapters that allow the
following types of drives to be connected to the
Logicube OmniClone Xi:
2.5” Laptop drives (also called Notebook
or mobile drives)
1.8” Laptop drives, (often found in smaller
laptops or netbooks)
Compact Flash (CF) Cards.
USB flash drives
Other specialized adapters are also available. If you
are unsure about the type of drive that you have,
please contact Logicube Technical Support for
assistance.
Note: Both eSATA and 1.8” microSATA drives are
supported with an optional cable available from
Logicube.
Note: SCSI drives and older IDE drives that are
smaller than 500MB (unless LBA-enabled) are not
supported by the Logicube OmniClone Xi.

Logicube OmniClone® Xi User’s Manual 9
Power and Reset buttons
The Logicube OmniClone 5Xi and 10Xi include 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. The
Logicube OmniClone 2Xi only has a reset switch.
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.
NOTE: User settings are retained after the unit is
restarted.
The user interface
The user interface (UI) has been designed with the
professional in mind. It is fast, responsive, and to the
point; which means it requires very few keystrokes to
achieve a desired action.
NOTE: Please refer to Figure 2 as you read the
information in this section.

Logicube OmniClone® Xi User’s Manual 10
Touch Screen
The OmniClone Xi features an LCD Touch Screen
that allows the user to quickly input commands. This
screen replaces many of the buttons that were
present on older Logicube duplication products. The
screen is bright and easy to read. It also emits an
audible beep every time the touch screen is tapped.
This lets the user know that the touch screen is active.
Calibrating the Touch Screen
There may be times when the user wants to
recalibrate the Touch Screen. The procedure for this
is very simple as outlined in the steps below:
1. Press the Reset button on the back of the unit and
hold it in.
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
or tap the square when it is located.
5. Repeat the previous step four more times. The
unit will count each time the square is tapped
correctly. It will count (1/5), (2/5), etc.
6. Once the screen has been calibrated, the contrast
adjustment screen will appear. Adjust the contrast
as needed, then tap the Back icon. The
OmniClone Xi will return to the Main Menu
Screen.
Buttons
The OmniClone Xi features two “Shortcut” buttons
that are located to the right of the touch Screen.
These buttons are available at all times.
START/STOP Button –Press it twice to begin a
cloning operation using the current settings; press
the START/STOP button in mid process to abort it.
A single key stroke presents a preview screen
where you can see the current setting, and decide
whether to press it again to begin the capture, or
back out to reconfigure.
SET Button –Press this button once to bring
you to the settings screen where you can change
capture modes and other settings of the unit.

Indicator Lights
The OmniClone Xi has indicator lights that are located
on the User Interface panel as well as on the light bar.
The lights are as follows:
The POWER indicator light is a red LED located to the
right of the Touch Screen. It remains on while the
Logicube OmniClone Xi is receiving power.
The STATUS indicator lights are located to the left of
the Touch Screen as a series of green LED’s. Each
Master and Target drive position has a corresponding
Status indicator. These lights are lit during cloning
operations and any operation that accesses the
Master or Target drive. They will flash as data is
transferred from one drive to the other.
The GREEN light on the light bar is also a general
Status indicator light. It will blink during a cloning or
diagnostic operation. In addition, if the unit completes
an operation successfully the green light will stay lit.
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. If
this occurs, check the screen for an error message
and instructions on what to do next.
Buzzer
In addition to the indicator lights, the light bar also has
an audible buzzer to alert the operator of the following
conditions:
The buzzer will emit a “finished” tone if the cloning
session ends successfully.
If the cloning session stops with an error message,
the buzzer will alert the user with an “error” tone.
NOTE: Changing the config.ini file that is located on
the OmniClone Xi’s CF Card can turn off the buzzer.
Please refer to Section 9 –Compact Flash (CF)
Card for more information.

Installing and Removing the Light Bar
The light bar is attached to the back of the OmniClone
Xi unit and can be removed if desired. This will not
affect the performance of the unit.
1. To install the light bar on the OC10Xi or the
OC5Xi, it first needs to be attached to the back
of the unit with four supplied thumb-screws.
NOTE: The OC2Xi does not come with a
light bar, though one can be purchased
separately. The light bar will have to be
mounted to a base as the OC2Xi does not
have mounting holes.
2. Attach the light bar’s power cable to the six-hole
Molex™ connector that is located on the back
of the unit to the right of the Compact Flash
Drive slot.
3. Light bar removal is the opposite of installation.
