How to operate the Cipher Z-Drive Enclosure:
Note: Hot swapping refers to the ability to plug and unplug the component without
rebooting.
1. Insert the AES 256-bit cipher key into the cipher keyhole on the Cipher Z-Drive
Enclosure.
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 Enclosure.
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 Enclosure once 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.
