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.
