iStorage datAshur PRO

USB drives can be configured as either “Removable Disk” or “Local Disk” whilst the default setting of
the datAshur PRO
2
is configured as a Removable Disk. To configure the drive, 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.
1. In Admin mode press and hold down both
KEY ( ) + 1 buttons
Solid BLUE LED will change to blinking GREEN
and BLUE LEDs
2. Enter one of the following indication numbers for disk enumeration type:
• “00” for “Removable Disk”
• “01” for “Local Disk”
3. Press SHIFT ( ) button once
Blinking GREEN and BLUE LEDs will change to
a solid GREEN for a second and then finally to a
solid BLUE LED indicating the disk
enumeration has been successfully configured
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).
