11. Adding a new User PIN in Admin Mode
PIN requirements:
• Must be between 8-64 digits in length
• Must not contain only repetitive numbers, e.g. (3-3-3-3-3-3-3)
• Must not contain only consecutive numbers, e.g. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7), (7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4), (7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
• The SHIFT ( ) button can be used for additional PIN combinations - e.g. SHIFT ( ) + 1 is a different value
than just 1. See section 8, ‘Setting a User PIN Policy’.
To add a New User PIN, first enter 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 ( ) + 3 buttons
Solid BLUE LED will change to blinking GREEN
and solid BLUE LEDs
2. Enter New User PIN and press KEY ( ) button
Blinking GREEN and solid BLUE LEDs will
switch to a single GREEN LED blink and then
back to blinking GREEN and solid BLUE LEDs
3. Re-enter the New User PIN and press KEY ( )
button again
GREEN LED will rapidly blink three times before
it changes to a solid BLUE LED indicating a New
User PIN has been successfully configured
Important: The creation of a new User PIN must comply with the ‘User PIN Policy’ if one has been configured
as described in section 8, which imposes a minimum PIN length and whether a ‘Special Character’ has to be
used. Refer to section 10 to check the user PIN restrictions.
Note: When the datAshur SD 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 SD 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 SD must first be in the Idle State (all LEDs off) before an Admin/User PIN can be entered.
