EU – S10C Quick Start Guide

Important Note

1. You will be required to partition and format the hard drive disk (HDD) after installing it in the

encrypted enclosure. Always perform partition and format functions with the Secure Key
plugged in. If you are adding a new disk, then no backup is required. Otherwise, you are
advised to back up the disk. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST DATA.

2. There is no “back door” into the security system of the enclosure. Without the Secure Key, you

will not be able to access the data or operating system on the protected disk. This means you
must keep the backup key in a safe place at all times. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CREATE A
SECURE KEY WITH THE SAME “SECRET KEY” WITHOUT YOUR BACKUP KEY. Please
contact your supplier immediately if you lose one of your Secure Keys. If you lose all Secure
Keys, you will NOT be able to decrypt your HDD.

Connecting the Enclosure Kit to a Computer

port. Incorrect insertion into a port other than the designated secure key port may re sult in

damage to the Secure Key or other ports/equipment.
