FCC Compliance Statement: “This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.”

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commer­cial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area
is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at this own expense.

In the event that you experience Radio Frequency Interference, you should take the following steps to resolve the problem:

1. Ensure that the case of your attached drive is grounded.

2. Use a data cable with RFI reducing ferrites on each end.

3. Use a power supply with an RFI reducing ferrite approximately 5 inches from the DC plug.

4. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

2. HDD Installation

2.1 RTX100-3Q and RTX Secure 110-3Q
a. Pull the ejection handle, open the door.

b. Slide in your SATA hard drive, connector-end rst.

c. Shut the door until you hear it click.

2.2 RTX111-3Q, RTX Secure 111-3Q, and RTX112-3Q

a. Slide the drive carrier out of the RTX.
b. The carrier’s cover is held in place by a screw on the rear of the carrier.
Remove the screw then remove the cover.
c. Slide the drive in from the front of the carrier.
d. Mate the connection on the drive with the connection on the drive
carrier circuit board.

e. Flip the drive/carrier assembly over, while holding the HDD in place.

Secure the drive in place with the provided screws.
f. Attach the Temperature Control Cooling Sensor to the top of the drive
with an adhesive strip.
g. Replace the carrier cover and secure the screw on the rear of the carrier.
h. Slide the carrier into the RTX.

3. Connecting and Powering

RTX-3Q can connect to your computer in one of several ways (eSATA, FireWire

800, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0). Choose one of those cables to use and plug it into

the product. Connect the power cord to the product and to a grounded electrical
outlet.

NOTE: To connect RTX-3Q to a USB 2.0 host,
you must use the included USB 2.0 cable.

For models with encryption, ensure that the encryption key is inserted and that
the lock on the bay is in the ‘locked” position.

Switch the product on. The drive will spin up automatically on RTX100-3Q and
RTX115DC-3Q. The key lock needs to be in the “locked” position for RTX Secure
110-3Q, RTX111-3Q, RTX Secure 111-3Q and RTX112-3Q to spin up. For RTX115­3Q, press the power button to spin up the drive.

Your RTX 1-Bay-3Q is now ready to use!

*A ashing green LED on the bay indicates bay fan failure. Call CRU technical

support.

2.3 RTX115-3Q and RTX115DC-3Q

a. Slide the drive carrier out of the frame.

b. The carrier’s cover is held in place by two screws—one on either side of
the carrier. Remove these screws then remove the cover.
c. Insert the drive into the carrier.
d. Mate the connection on the drive with the connection on the drive
carrier circuit board.

e. Flip the drive/carrier assembly over, while holding the HDD in place.

Secure the drive in place with the provided screws.
f. Replace the drive cover and secure the screw on the rear of the carrier.
g. Slide the carrier into the frame assembly.

*Flashing red and blue LEDs on the bay indicate bay fan failure. Call CRU
technical support.

4. Encryption Information (models with encryption only)

RTX-3Q with encryption uses full disk hardware encryption to encrypt the entire

contents of the drive—including the boot sector, operating system and all les—

without performance degradation.

The Security Key must be installed prior to powering on the RTX-3Q for the data
to be decrypted on the drive. Externally connected Security Keys may be removed
and stored in a safe location once they have been accepted. Always store Security
Keys apart from the data so that in the event that the drive is lost or stolen, the
data is protected.

When a drive is formatted using an encryption key, the same or a duplicate key
must be used in order to access the data. There is no “back door” to access the
data; lost keys make data recovery virtually impossible.

WARNING: Never plug an encryption key into

a mini-USB port or a mini-USB product into the

encryption key port.
