WIPING MODES AND SETINGS
11 Logicube OmniWIPE-
2 ™ User’s Manual
For example, if you set the number of passes (the
value of n in the above formula) to 1, WipeOut Mode
will perform a total of three passes, first writing all 0’s
then again writing all 1’s. Then one more pass will be
made this time writing the selected pattern value.
Set the number of passes to 0 for a single pass of the
chosen pattern. This method is acceptable for quickly
wiping a drive where removal of sensitive information
is not an issue.
NOTE:
WipeOut Mode is exactly like the WipeClean
Target Mode of Logicube’s non-forensic duplication
devices.
WipeOut Settings
The following settings are used in configuring
WipeOut Mode:
Passes
– Determines how many iterations of all 0’s
and all 1’s are performed. The default is 0. Set the
value to 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.
(The Random setting will fill the Target drive with a
pseudo random pattern).
Speed
– The speed can be manually set from UDMA
5 to PIO-SLOW.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Logicube OmniWIPE-2 will
run at the fastest possible speed as long as a
“scratch” drive is attached to the Master position. This
should not be an actual Master drive as a pattern will
be written to part of the drive data may be lost.
If no drive is attached to the Master position the unit
will still wipe the Target drives, but will run at speeds
ranging from 60
– 100 MB/min.
WipeOut Mode Step-by-Step
1. Attach the first drive to be erased to the Target 1
position and the second drive to be erased (if
necessary) to the Target 2 position. Attach a
scratch drive to the Master / Target 3 position.
NOTE
: Do not use an actual Master drive in the
Master / Target 3 position. A pattern will be written
to the beginning of the drive which will corrupt any
data residing on it.
2. From anywhere in the menu system press the
“
Set
” button to enter the Settings menu.
