How to operate the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System:
Note: Hot swapping refers to the ability to plug and unplug the component with\
out  
           rebooting.
1.  Insert the AES 256-bit cipher key into the cipher keyhole on the Cipher Z-Drive  
     Cartridge System.
2.  Power on the device.
3.  Observe that the green Power LED should light up. If it does not, re\
-insert the  
     cipher key and re-power the device or reset the Cipher Z-Drive Cart\
ridge System.
4.  For new drive, go to the operating system’s management utility to partition, format  
     and mount the encrypted drive.
Note: You may remove the cipher key from the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System on\
ce 
it is powered on. All the files being transferred into the drive are still encrypted even \
if 
the cipher key is removed.  Always keep a spare master key in a safe place.

Reset switch
The RESET button enables the adding and removing of hard drives without 
rebooting the enclosure. Following are examples of such an applications:\
 
a.   When the cipher key is removed from the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System, 
pressing the reset switch will clear the key code and remove the drive i\
con. This 
is good for security when the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System is left un\
attended.
b.  Likewise when the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System is connected and 
powered on with a cipher key, pressing the RESET button will initialize the drive. 
Note that if the hard drive is not encrypted or if the cipher key does n\
ot match with 
what is on the encrypted hard drive, it will show up as an unallocated drive under 
the drive management screen and no drive icon will show up on the My Com\
puter 
folder. It’s very important to make sure that the correct cipher key is used on the\
 
hard drive. Proceeding to initialize the hard drive will erase all the data 
beyond any possibility of recovery.
Green Power LED
In order to power on the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System, the cipher key must be 
inserted prior to powering or resetting the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge Sys\
tem. If the 
power LED does not light up, the system will not detect the hard drive c\
onnected 
to the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System.
Yellow Power LED
Lights up when there is drive activity.
