24. How to Delete the Self-Destruct PIN
1. In Admin mode, press and hold down both
SHIFT + 6 buttons
Solid BLUE LED will change to a blinking RED
LED
2. Press and hold down SHIFT + 6 buttons again
Blinking RED LED will become solid and then
change to a solid BLUE LED indicating the
Self-Destruct PIN was successfully deleted
To delete the Self-Destruct PIN, first enter the “Admin Mode” as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode
(solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
Note: When the datAshur PRO
2
is in Admin Mode, the BLUE LED will remain on and solid for 30 seconds only,
during which time the drive can accept instructions via the keypad allowing it to be configured with a host of security
features. If no key event happens within 30 seconds, the datAshur PRO
2
will exit Admin mode automatically - the
solid BLUE LED switches to a solid RED LED which then fades out to the Idle state (all LEDs off).
To immediately exit Admin Mode (solid BLUE LED), press and hold down the SHIFT ( ) button for a second - the
solid BLUE LED switches to a solid RED LED which then fades out to the Idle state. To access the drive contents
(data), the datAshur PRO
2
must first be in the idle state (all LEDs off) before an Admin/User PIN can be entered.
1. In standby state (solid RED LED), press and hold
down both the SHIFT ( ) + KEY ( ) buttons
RED LED switches to all LEDs, RED, GREEN &
BLUE blinking on and off
2. Enter the Self-Destruct PIN and press the
KEY ( ) button
RED, GREEN and BLUE blinking LEDs will
change to GREEN and BLUE LEDs alternating
on and off for a few seconds and finally shifts
to a solid GREEN LED indicating the datAshur
PRO
2
has successfully self-destructed
25. How to Unlock with the Self-Destruct PIN
When used, the self-destruct PIN will delete ALL data, Admin/User PINs and then unlock the drive. Activating this
feature will cause the Self-Destruct PIN to become the New User PIN and the datAshur PRO
2
will need to be
formatted before any new data can be added to the drive.
To activate the Self-Destruct mechanism, the drive needs to be in the standby state (solid RED LED) and then proceed with the
following steps.
Warning: When the Self-Destruct mechanism is activated, all data, the encryption key and the Admin/User
PINs are deleted. The Self-Destruct PIN becomes the User PIN. No Admin PIN exists after
the Self-Destruct mechanism is activated. The datAshur PRO
2
will need to be reset (see ‘How to
perform a complete reset’ Section 35, on page 28) first in order to configure an Admin PIN with
full Admin privileges including the ability to configure a User PIN.
