Hardware Installation

WARNING! Hard drives and storage enclosures require careful handling, especially

when being transported. If you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may

result. Always handle your hard drive and storage device with caution. Be sure that

you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling computer

components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a large

grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds.

NOTE: To use encryption, the SATA drive must be initialized and formatted after setup.

This will erase all data on the drive.

1. Open the enclosure by locating the thumb ridges. Pressing down slightly, slide the

back pane away from the top edge.

2. Connect the the 2.5” SATA Hard Drive

Instruction Manual

3. Slide the back pane back into place.

4. With the enclosure fully assembled, connect the USB 3.0 cable from the enclosure to

a USB port on the host computer system using the included cable.

Instruction Manual

How to Use

Initial Setup

1. When connected to a host computer for the rst time, the“2_Input new password,

and then press `Enter`” LED will prompt. If no password is used, the enclosure will

function as a standard external hard drive enclosure without any encryption.

2. Enter your own Password (1~8 digit PIN setting) and press the ‘Enter’ button.

3. After pressing the `Enter` button, the “3_input password and then press ‘Enter’

button” LED will turn on. Re-enter the same password you entered in the previous

step and press the‘Enter’ button to apply it. (If you enter the incorrect password,

you cannot go to the next step. You must go back to the previous step.) Password

is now set.

4. Once the password has been setup, the SATA drive must be initialized and formatted

before use. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer”

(“Computer” in Vista/ 7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management

window, select Disk Management from the left window panel.

5. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.

Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating

an “MBR” or“GPT” disk. GPT (GUID partition) is not compatible with some older

operating systems, while MBR is supported by newer and older operating systems.

Instruction Manual

6. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check the listed hard

drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the

section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.

WARNING! Losing the password or hardware failure (the SATA drive or enclosure)

will result in the data stored in the enclosure becoming unrecoverable. Removing

the drive from the enclosure or placing it into another S2510BU3PWPS enclosure

will not allow access to the data. It is recommended that all data stored on the

enclosure also be backed up to another location regularly to prevent any chance

of losing your data.

of these Options are outlined below.
