III.How to operate the Cipher tower after initial setup

1.Insert the 5 AES 256-bit cipher keys into each cipher keyhole on the Diamond Cipher enclosures located at the front of the Cipher tower.

2.Push the power switch of the Cipher tower to turn it on. Observed that the green Cipher power LEDs at the front of the Cipher tower are on. If they did not, reinsert the cipher keys and re-power the Cipher tower.

3.Use the system’s File Explorer to access the files on the encrypted drive.

4.For security purposes, remove the cipher keys from the Cipher tower after the drives are detected by the system. All the files being transferred into the drives are still encrypted even if the cipher key is removed.

5.When the Cipher tower is restarted, the 4 cipher keys must be inserted again in order to gain access to the drives.

Best Practice:

Create a label to identify the SATA hard drive and the associated Cipher key used.
