Step 3 – Activating Hardware Encryption
AES hardware encryption is installed on the Enigma SED hard drive. Upon initiation of the hard drive
you will be required to enter authentication credentials (i.e. User name and password). Create your own
authentication credentials and keep them secure, future access to the Enigma SED and the stored data
will require you to enter these details when prompted. Without the correct authentication credentials the
Enigma SED will remain locked, will not boot up and will prevent access to the encrypted data stored on it.
Management of the hardware encryption activation/deactivation and the authentication credentials is
handled by the WinMagic MySecureDoc Express software supplied with the Enigma SED. The instructions
below will guide you through installing the software, configuring the administrator credentials and activating
the hardware encryption.
1) After completing “Step 2 – Fitting Your Enigma SED Hard Drive” turn your computer on and wait for
Windows to finish loading. Once Windows has loaded it will detect the Enigma SED hard drive and
prompt you to reboot. Click “Restart Now”.
2) Once your computer has rebooted insert the Enigma SED Software & Manual CD into your CD
drive. If prompted click “Run autorun.exe”, followed by “Allow” on the User Account Control
dialogue. The Enigma SED start menu will open.
If the start menu does not appear click on the Windows “Start” button and then select “Run”. Type
“X:\autorun.exe” (without the quotation marks) and replace “X” with the appropriate letter
corresponding to your CD drive. Click “OK” and the Enigma SED start menu should now open.
3) Click the “Step 3 - Install WinMagic MySecureDoc Express” button on the Enigma SED start menu.
