8. Entering the Admin Mode
The diskAshur DT cannot be recognized by the operating system in the Admin Mode.
To enter the Admin Mode, do the following:
1. Attach the USB cable to an available USB port on your computer and turn the
diskAshur DT ON. The diskAshur DT goes into the Standby Mode, and the LED
indicator light turns RED.
2. Press and hold + 0 for five seconds until the LED indicator light flashes
RED. This indicates that you can enter the Admin PIN.
3. Enter the Admin PIN and press . The default Admin PIN is
123456. The drive is in Admin Mode when the LED indicator light has
changed to BLUE.
Note: If the LED indicator light flashes RED for a few seconds, indicating the diskAshur DT has returned to
the Standby Mode, go back to Step 2.
This is due to one of the following conditions:
• You entered an incorrect Admin PIN in Step 3.
• No activity was detected within 10 seconds in the Admin Mode.
9. Exiting the Admin Mode
To exit the User Mode, press the “Cancel” button on the diskAshur DT keypad. If there is no activity for 5 seconds the drive
will lock and go into Standby mode.
Alternately, you can turn your diskAshur DT OFF at the power switch on the back of the unit. Once you turn the diskAshur DT
ON again, the LED indicator light will be RED, indicating that you are in the Standby Mode.
