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.
NOTE: To use encryption, the SATA drive must be initialized and formatted after setup.
This will erase all data on the drive.
1. Open the enclosure by locating the thumb ridges. Pressing down slightly, slide the
back pane away from the top edge.
2. Connect the the 2.5” SATA Hard Drive

How to Use
Initial Setup
1. When connected to a host computer for the rst time, the“2_Input new password,
and then press `Enter`” LED will prompt. If no password is used, the enclosure will
function as a standard external hard drive enclosure without any encryption.
2. Enter your own Password (1~8 digit PIN setting) and press the ‘Enter’ button.
3. After pressing the `Enter` button, the “3_input password and then press ‘Enter’
button” LED will turn on. Re-enter the same password you entered in the previous
step and press the‘Enter’ button to apply it. (If you enter the incorrect password,
you cannot go to the next step. You must go back to the previous step.) Password
is now set.
4. Once the password has been setup, 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.
5. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you 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.

6. 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”.
WARNING! 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 S2510BU3PWPS 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.

of these Options are outlined below.
Change Password
