Logicube Omniclone Xi user manual User Replaceable Hardware, Drive Cables

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.

NOTE: Users who operate the Omniclone Xi™ unit in a large production setting are advised to keep spare cables, drive stations and even an extra power supply handy in case of emergency.

Drive Cables

The UDMA, power and SATA Cables that connect Master and Target drives to the Omniclone Xi™ are designed to withstand up to 500 insertions/extractions. This means that through proper handling, the cables can be pulled off and attached to 500 different drives before the heads start to wear out. Improper handling of the cables can cause this number to go down significantly.

Because the drive cables have a significant shelf life, they are considered consumable items and are not covered under the same warranty as the Omniclone Xi™ unit. Please contact Logicube Sales if you need to purchase replacement cables.
