When you first plug in the SSD
Padlock, the unit will do a self-test to verify all security components
are working properly. The LEDs

RED , GREEN , and BLUE . This
will be followed by three GREEN
flashes on a successful test. Any test failure will leave the unit in an
interoperable state with the RED
LED flashing.
