17. Setting a Self Destruct PIN
Note: After initiating the Self Destruct sequence, the PIN used to initiate the self destruct sequence will
become the default Admin PIN. The drive will need to be initialized and reformatted. For directions
see page 15.
To set a Self Destruct PIN please use the following steps:
1. Enter the Admin mode by pressing and holding + 0 for five seconds until
the LED indicator light flashes RED. This indicates that you can enter the
Admin PIN.
2. Enter the Admin PIN and press . The drive is in Admin Mode when the
LED indicator light has changed to BLUE.
3. Once in Admin mode, press + 3. The LED indicator lights should start flashing
RED and BLUE intermittently.
4. Input in the PIN that you would like to use as the Self Destruct PIN and
press .
Note: The PIN must be a minimum of 6 digits in the length (16 max) and cannot match any Admin
or User codes already used by the drive. In the future, a User or Admin code can not be set to the
same number as used by the Self Destruct PIN.
5. The diskG will then check against known PINs to make sure that it is not
already in use. If in use the LED indicator light will flash RED three times and the drive
will go into Standby mode. If this happens please re-enter the Admin mode
(step 1) and repeat the process with a new code.
6. If the Self Destruct PIN is accepted the LED indicator light flashes
GREEN three times.
7. Immediately re-enter the new PIN and press . If the LED indicator light stays
solid GREEN for two seconds and then goes to solid BLUE, the Self Destruct
PIN was added successfully.
8. To delete the Self Destruct PIN, you will need to delete all of the User
PINs. Please refer to the instructions on page 11 - Deleting User PINs.
The diskG has the ability to set a PIN that will reset the encryption key if needed. By resetting the encryption key all data on
the drive will be lost and cannot be recovered.
