Product description

The ThinkPad eSATA/USB Secure Hard Drive (hereafter called the secure hard drive) is a portable,

light-weight, eSATA, high-speed USB 2.0 standard option that offers high level data security. You can

transfer data through either the USB connector or the eSATA connector on the secure hard drive. In

addition to all the regular eSATA and USB hard disk drive functions, it also provides you with an

easy-to-use full disk encryption solution. All the functions are integrated into the secure hard drive;

therefore, you can manage passwords and access the secure hard drive without using other software

applications.

The secure hard drive has three working modes:

vStandby Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is locked.)

vUser Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is unlocked.)

vAdmin Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is locked.)

Note: Passwords are required for the Admin Mode and the User Mode. Accordingly, they are called the

Admin Password and the User Password.

Secure hard drive button panel

The secure hard drive button panel is shown as follows:

1 button

vExit the Admin Mode

The button can be used to access the secure hard drive and it can also be used as an OK

acknowledgement in the following operations:

vEntering a password

vConfirming a new password

The indicator light displays the following colors to indicate the various modes of operation:

vRed: Standby Mode

vBlue: Admin Mode

vGreen: User Mode

The indicator light has other display methods to indicate different status of the secure hard drive. Details

are provided later in this manual.

Chapter 2. Installing the ThinkPad eSATA/USB Secure Hard

Drive

This chapter provides information about installing the secure hard drive.

Before you begin the installation

Be sure to review the following information before you begin to install and use the secure hard drive.

Attention: Use only the cables that come with this option. You might damage the drive if you use a

cable not included in the option package. The option is designed for portable use without an ac power

adapter. Do not attach an ac power adapter to this drive.

vTo avoid damaging your secure hard drive, handle with care. When transporting the drive or when it

is not in use, place it in the carrying case that comes with the option.

vFor reliable performance of the secure hard drive, make sure that the USB data cable, the USB power

cable, and the eSATA data cable are attached directly from the drive to the computer USB connectors

or to an ac-powered USB hub. Do not connect the USB cables to a non-powered USB hub.

Installing the secure hard drive

To install the secure hard drive, do the following:

1. Attach one end of the power cable to the secure hard drive, and then attach the other end to an

available USB connector on your computer. The indicator light turns red, as shown:

2. Depending on the connector you are using to transfer data, do one of the following:

vIf you are using the USB connector on your computer, attach one end of the USB data cable to the

secure hard drive, and then attach the other end to another available USB connector on your

computer, as shown:

vIf you are using the eSATA/USB combo connector on your computer (typically found on ThinkPad

SL410, SL510, T400s, T410s, T510, and W510 notebook computers), attach one end of the eSATA

data cable to the secure hard drive, and then attach the other end to the eSATA/USB combo

connector on your computer, as shown:

Note: When you are using the eSATA/USB combo connector, the eSATA data cable functions as a

data cable and power cable simultaneously.
