Step 4
Turn the Diamond enclosure over with
the hard drive mounting holes facing
up. Use the included flat head screws
to secure the hard drive onto the
bottom of the enclosure and turn in
the screw to the “LOCK” position.
Powering On the Drive Cartridge System
:
Note:
Be sure the Diamond cipher key is inserted into the drive enclosure prior
to turning on the power of the drive cradle. The hard drive will not be
detected by the computer if the power to the drive cradle is turned on
without the Cipher key. Under such condition, the power on the drive
cradle 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.
Power Switch:
To power on the enclosure, use the key provided to turn the locking mechanism
on the drive cradle into the Lock position. When the switch is turned on, the
green LED located on the left side of the drive cradle would light up to indicate
power. The encryption key LED will also light up. The amber LED will blink if
there is drive activity.
Note:
There are no drivers needed to use the eSATA cable as long as the
drivers are installed for the Serial ATA Controller card/chip. It is plug
and play.
Brand new hard drive must be partitioned and formatted first before a
drive letter is assigned by the OS. When a hard drive with data on it is
formatted with the Diamond cipher all the data will be erased.
Once the drive is detected by the system OS, the Diamond cipher key
may be removed from the drive enclosure. The encryption key LED will
turn off but the Diamond Cipher hard drive will continue operating
normally (encrypting) till it is removed from the system or powered off.
Cable Connections
Model:
DCDCS256S
Power
: Use either the 4-pin Molex or the 15-pin SATA power connector.
Do not use both power sources simultaneously.
Data
:
Connect the SATA cable to the SATA connector located at the back of the drive
cradle and the other end to the SATA connector on your SATA host controller or
onboard SATA port.
LED cable
: Only needed if you want to get drive access signal from the SATA
controller. Use the LED cable to connect the LED pin located at the back of the
cradle (beside the LED switch) to the LED jumper pins on your SATA host
controller or onboard SATA port to enable the drive activity LED.
Factory default, LED signal coming from hard drive.
