Hardware Installation
WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially
when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may
result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that
you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer
components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large
grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.
1. The back panel of the enclosure is held securely in place with two small screws. Use
the provided mini screwdriver to remove the screws.
NOTE: For brand new out of the box installations, this step is not required as the
screws are not installed.
2. Using the small groove located along the top edge of the enclosure, remove the
back panel to expose the interior drive bay.

3. Place the 2.5” SATA drive into the bay (label side down) and slide the drive onto the
SATA connector. Make sure the drive is fully seated.
CAUTION: To use AES encryption, the drive must be initialized and formatted after
setup. Do not place a drive containing data you wish to encrypt into the enclosure. The
data must be copied over after the enclosure has been setup.
4. Place the back panel back onto the enclosure and fasten using the small screws.
5. With the enclosure fully assembled, connect the USB 3.0 cable from the enclosure to
a USB port on the host computer system.

How to Use
Initial Setup
1. When connected to a host computer for the rst time, the OLED readout will
prompt you to setup a password or not. If no password is used, the enclosure will
function as a standard external hard drive enclosure without any encryption.
2. If you have chosen to use a password you will receive a prompt informing you it will
be impossible to recover data without your password. Select “Yes” to continue.
3. After you have selected the option to continue to use a password, you will be
prompted to enter a 4 ~ 8 digit password. Press <Enter> when complete.
WARNING: If the password is lost, the data on the drive will not be recoverable.
4. Re-enter the password as conrmation and press <Enter>.
5. Once the password has been set up, the SATA drive must be initialized and formatted
before use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on“My Computer”
(“Computer”in Vista/ 7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management
window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.
6. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking your to initialize the drive.
Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating an
“MBR”or“GPT”disk. GPT (GUID partition) is not compatible with some older operating
systems, while MBR is supported by newer and older operating systems.
7. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is“Unallocated” (check the listed hard drive
capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section that
says“Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.
Note: Losing the password or hardware failure (the SATA drive or enclosure) will result
in the data stored in the enclosure becoming unrecoverable. Removing the drive from
the enclosure or placing it into another S2510BU3PW enclosure will not allow access to
the data. It is recommended that all data stored on the enclosure also be backed up to
another location regularly to prevent any chance of losing your data.

User Info
Conguration options for setting and displaying optional user info, such as a name (8
character limit) and phone number (20 character limit). A name can be congured to
display on the OLED display on startup, instead of the standard logo and the phone
number can be set to display when an incorrect password is entered. This can be used
as contact info for returning misplaced units. Check the “User Info Display” option to
enable this feature.

Initialization of HDD Usage Mode
WARNING: This will result in all data on the drive being lost.
The installed SATA drive can be re-initialized while connected to the host computer,
which will result in the drive partition being deleted and drive being treated as a
new drive. The SATA drive will need to be re-partitioned and formatted on the host
computer afterwards.
