User manual ADDONICS CRC4HESU

[. . . ] To ensure there is a spare key, your Cipher tower comes with 4 pairs of Cipher keys. These cipher keys have all identical encryption code unless you requested then to be coded differently. One of these keys should be kept in a safe and secure location and can be sent back to Addonics for duplicating additional keys. If you are down to the last key, be sure to make a back up of all the data stored inside your Cipher tower prior to sending the last key to Addonics. [. . . ] Slide the enclosure into the drive bay. RAID setting button RAID config rotary switch USB port eSATA port (LED 3) HPM Power (LED 1) eSATA Status ADDONICS TECHNOLOGIES Model: CRC4HESU 4. LED Information: When power switch is turned on, the green LED lights up. HPM Health LED: When the RAID volume fails, the LED blinks. eSATA status LED: When eSATA port is used to connect to a system, the LED lights up. USB status LED: When USB port is used to connect to a system, the LED lights up. Power LED: For security purposes, remove the cipher keys from the Cipher tower after the drives are detected by the system. All the files being transferred into the drives are still encrypted even if the cipher key is removed. When the Cipher tower is restarted, the 4 cipher keys must be inserted again in order to gain access to the drives. 5. V. Instruction for Special RAID Modes: III. Initial RAID setup of the Cipher tower: a. Insert the 4 AES 256-bit cipher keys into each cipher keyhole on the Ruby Cipher enclosures located at the front of the Cipher tower. BIG 2 - 2 Drives Spanned o Note: Do not connect more than 2 SATA drives to the hardware port multiplier. Doing so will hang the system when you configure the raid. o For SATA drives with different capacities, the hardware port multiplier will use the smallest drive capacity of the 2 drives connected to create the total partition size. FAST 2 - 2 Drives Striped o Note: Do not connect more than 2 SATA drives to the hardware port multiplier. Doing so will hang the system when you configure the raid. VI. Verify RAID Setting on the Cipher tower Cipher keyhole Note: Disconnect the Cipher tower from computer when verifying the RAID setting. It is assumed that you have already connected the SATA drives and set up the raid mode when verifying the raid setting. Push the RAID setting button with a ballpoint pen. Using the table below, verify if the LEDs are lighting up. The selected LEDs will light up for 2 seconds followed by a blink and cycles back.

[. . . ] Insert the 4 AES 256-bit cipher keys into each cipher keyhole on the Diamond Cipher enclosures located at the front of the Cipher tower. Push the power switch of the Cipher tower to turn it on. Observed that the green Cipher power LEDs at the front of the Cipher tower are on. If they did not, reinsert the cipher keys and re-power the Cipher tower. [. . . ]
