16. How to Unlock with the Self-Destruct PIN
When used, the self-destruct PIN will delete the encryption key, 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 diskAshur DT
2
will
need to be partitioned and 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.
15. How to Delete the Self-Destruct PIN
1. In Admin mode, press and hold down
“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 7. Once the drive is in Admin Mode
(solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
Important: 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 diskAshur DT
2
will need to be reset (see ‘How to
perform a complete reset’ Section 25, on page 16) first in order to create an Admin PIN with full
Admin privileges including the ability to create a User PIN.
