Installation
Notes:
• Once the password is set and data is encrypted, losing
the password or hardware failure will result in lost data.
Removing the drive and placing it in another enclosure will
not allow access to the data. It is recommended that all data
stored on the enclosure be backed up to another location
regularly to prevent data loss.
• HDD/SSD drives are sensitive to static electricity and must be
handled properly to avoid the risk of data loss. Always handle
your HDD/SSD drive with caution by wearing an anti-static
strap (such as Tripp Lite P999-000) or touching a grounded
metal surface to discharge yourself of static electricity prior to
picking up the drive.
1. Slide off the enclosure cover to reveal the drive
tray.
2. Slide a 2.5” SATA drive into the drive tray. Align the
SATA plug on the drive to the SATA connector in
the drive tray.
3. Slide the enclosure cover back on the unit. Flip the
unit over so its keypad faces upward.
4. Press and hold the “1” and “3” buttons on the
keypad for 20 seconds. At the same time, connect
the included USB cable between the USB port on
the unit and a USB port on the host computer. The
green LED will blink for a moment, then the red
and green LEDs will illuminate solid to indicate the
unit is ready to be assigned a password.

Installation
5. To assign a password, press and hold the “*”
button for 5 seconds or until the orange LED
illuminates. Enter your 4 to 6-digit custom
password, then hit the “#” button to enter.
6. Once the custom password is entered, the orange
LED will shut off, though the password must be
reentered for confirmation. If your password is
successfully confirmed, the green and blue LEDs
will illuminate. If your password confirmation
is unsuccessful, the red and green LEDs will
illuminate to indicate the passwords do not match.
7. After your password is successfully confirmed, the
host computer will immediately identify the hard
drive connected to the keypad.
8. If the SATA drive has not been formatted, you will
first need to format it using your computer’s Disk
Management Utility in order to copy and access
files.
9. Your enclosure is now ready to read and write data.
The green LED will blink to indicate data is being
transferred.

Modifying Your Password
To change your password, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the “*” button. At the same time,
connect the included USB cable between the
USB port on the unit and a USB port on the host
computer. After approximately 5 seconds, the red,
green and orange LEDs will illuminate.
2. Enter the old password and press the “#”
button to enter. Only the red and green LEDs will
illuminate.
3. Enter the new password and press the “#” button
to save. The blue LED will blink while the red and
green LEDs remain illuminated.
4. Reenter the new password and press the “#”
button to confirm the password change was
successful. The blue LED will blink. The red and
