Performing a Complete Reset
NOTE: A complete reset will erase encryption keys and PINs and leave the Aegis Padlock
SSD in an unformatted condition.
There may be circumstances (forgotten PIN, redeployment, return to factory default
settings) when you need to completely reset the drive. The complete reset feature will
perform a crypto-erase on the drive, generate a new encryption key, delete all users, and
return all of the settings to factory default.
To perform a complete reset of the drive, perform the following:
1. While powering up, press and hold
and release it once the power-up self-test
concludes (when only the RED LED glows steadily.)
2. Within five seconds of releasing the button, press and hold + + 2 together for
ten seconds. The RED and BLUE LEDs will blink alternately.
3. The GREEN and RED LEDs will glow steadily for several seconds, followed by the
GREEN LED glowing steadily for several seconds, followed finally by the GREEN
and BLUE LEDs glowing steadily which indicates that the reset is complete.
4. A new Admin PIN will need to be entered and the drive will need to be reformatted.

solid for two seconds.
4. The BLUE LED will glow steadily for 30 seconds (or until the button is pressed,
which will return the drive to its standby state.)
