IMPORTANT

There is no back door for the Cipher tower encrypted hard

drives if the Cipher keys are lost or stolen.

Cipher key

Check to make sure you have the

correct version of the Cipher key. A

sample key is shown

Black label AES-256 stands for

Cipher 256-bit key.

To ensure there is a spare key, your Cipher tower comes with

4 pairs of Cipher keys. These cipher keys have all identical

encryption code unless you requested then to be coded

differently. One of these keys should be kept in a safe and

secure location and can be sent back to Addonics for duplicating

additional keys. If you are down to the last key, be sure to make

a back up of all the data stored inside your Cipher tower prior to

sending the last key to Addonics. Addonics is not responsible for

key lost in the mail or retrieval of the data inside the encrypted

hard drive.

Keeping track of the hard drive

If you are using the Cipher tower to encrypt multiple hard drives,

it is important to label your hard drive if you are taking the drive

out of the Cipher tower. The hard drive from the Cipher tower

that is encrypted will look like a brand new drive when attach

directly to the SATA controller of a computer. There will be no

partition or any hint to indicate that the drive contains encrypted

data. When the drive is partitioned, all the encrypted data will be

lost.

The same holds true if a hard drive already has data on it is

installed into the Cipher tower. The computer detects the hard

drive as a brand new drive or a drive that is unallocated. Once

you proceed to partition the drive, the data that was on the hard

drive will be erased and cannot be recovered.

Installing drives into the Cipher Tower

Refer to Ruby Cipher enclosure hard drive installation guide

ADDONICS TECHNOLOGIES

Open the front panel of the Cipher

tower.

Slide the enclosure into the drive bay.

Model: CRC4HESU

A switch located on the left hand side of the Ruby Cipher

enclosure front panel must be placed to the "INT" position. This

will secure the enclosure and provide power to the drive.

Switch

Note: It is recommended to fill up the tower with SATA drives

from top to bottom. This is to help in identifying which drives

connect to which ports for easier troubleshooting.

Connecting the power cable and Cipher Tower to the

computer

Connect the power cord provided from the wall outlet to the

back of the Cipher Tower.

A power switch is located on the front of the tower. Make

sure the power is off on the switch (power LED light should

be off)

Connect the provided eSATA or USB2.0 cable from the back

of the Cipher tower to the eSATA or USB2.0 on the

computer. We recommend connecting the eSATA port for

best performance if this port is available on your computer.
