USB drives are equipped with a bootable feature to accommodate power cycling during a host boot
process. When booting from the datAshur PRO
2
, you are running your computer with the operating system that is installed on
the datAshur PRO
2
.
Note: When the drive is set as bootable, ejecting the drive from Operating System will
not force the LED to turn RED. The drive stays solid GREEN and needs to be unplugged for
next time use. The default setting of the datAshur PRO
2
is configured as non-bootable.
To set the drive as bootable, first enter the “Admin Mode” as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode

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).

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

must first be in the idle state (all LEDs off) before an Admin/User PIN can be entered.
