3. To initialize the D300, type the following command at the terminal prompt and press ENTER:
./D300_initialize* (Remember, commands are case-sensitive.) See Figure 10.4 .
Figure 10.4 – Executing a D300 Command
4. After pressing ENTER , the license agreement will display in the terminal window. Press ‘ Y ’ to accept the
license agreement and continue. ( Note: If you press ‘ N ’ and do not accept the license agreement, you will
be returned to the terminal prompt and unable to continue the initialization process until you repeat step 3
and press ‘
Y ’ .)
5. After you accept the license agreement, you will be prompted to input (create) a password, which will be
used to protect the files stored on the secure data partition. The password you create must meet the
following criteria before the initialization process will allow you to continue:
a. Passwords must contain 8 characters or more (up to 16 characters.)
b. Passwords must contain three (3) of the following criteria options:
- UPPER CASE, lower case, numeric, and/or special characters (!, $, etc.)
6. Confirm your password by re-entering it on the command line when prompted to input it again and press
ENTER . If the passwords match, you will be notified that the D300 has been initialized successfully. If the
passwords do not match, you will receive a message indicating that you still need to confirm the password
correctly. To do so, repeat steps 5 and 6 until they do.
After creating your password, a secure data volume (partition) will appear on the desktop. This indicates that
the initialization process was successful and is now complete. You may begin using the D300.
*Note: Certain distributions of Linux will require super-user (root) privileges in order to execute the D300
commands properly in the terminal application window.
