Note: Be sure the Diamond cipher key is inserted into the drive enclosure prior to turning on the power of the drive enclosure. The hard drive will not be detected by the computer if the power to the drive enclosure is turned on without the Cipher key. Under such condition, the power on the drive enclosur will have to be turned off and turned back on again with the Cipher key already inserted into the drive enclosure in order to detect the hard drive.
