How to operate the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System:  
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  
Cartridge System.  
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 Cartridge System.  
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 Cartridge System 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  
The RESET button enables the adding and removing of hard drives without  
rebooting the enclosure. Following are examples of such an applications:  
a. When the cipher key is removed from the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System,  
pressing the reset switch will clear the key code and remove the drive icon. This  
is good for security when the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System is left unattended.  
b. Likewise when the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System 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 to power on the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System, the cipher key must be  
inserted prior to powering or resetting the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System. If the  
power LED does not light up, the system will not detect the hard drive connected  
to the Cipher Z-Drive Cartridge System.  
Yellow Power LED  
Lights up when there is drive activity.
