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.

Reset switch  
Under certain applications, the RESET button enables the connecting and  
disconnecting of the Cipher Z-Drive Enclosure without restarting the system.  
Following are examples of such applications:  
a. When the cipher key is removed from the Z-Drive Enclosure, pressing the  
reset switch will clear the key code and remove the drive icon. This is good for  
security when the Z-Drive Enclosure is left unattended.  
b. Likewise when the Z-Drive Enclosure is connected and powered on with a  
cipher key, pressing the RESET button will initialize the drive. Note that if the hard  
drive is not encrypted or if the cipher key does not match with what is on the  
encrypted hard drive, it will show up as an unallocated drive under the drive  
management screen and no drive icon will show up on the My Computer folder.  
It’s very important to make sure that the correct cipher key is used on the hard  
drive. Proceeding to initialize the hard drive will erase all the data beyond  
any possibility of recovery.  
Green Power LED  
In order for the green power LED of the CipherChain mounted on the Cipher  
Z-Drive Enclosure to turn on, the cipher key must be inserted prior to powering or  
resetting the Cipher Z-Drive Enclosure. If the power LED does not light up, the  
computer will not detect the hard drive connected to the Cipher Z-Drive  
Enclosure.  
Yellow Power LED  
Lights up when there is drive activity.
