Backup The K300

The process for updating and registering K300 devices to SafeConsole is designed to retain all data

previously on the device when possible, however, it is strongly recommended to backup the K300

before proceeding.

Registering to SafeConsole requires a ﬁle system on the K300 that can be read by Windows, such as

FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS. By default, the K300 ships with an NTFS ﬁlesystem. If the current ﬁlesystem is not

natively compatible with Windows, such as EXT4 or HFS+, then the K300 will attempt to format the

drive to a valid ﬁlesystem. This will delete all data on the drive.

Enabling SafeConsole

There are a couple of options when it comes to enabling SafeConsole on your K300 device.

Option 1: Force SafeConsole With The Updater (Recommended)

These steps require administrative privileges on both the Sentry K300 and the Windows workstation

running the updater. Once complete, the K300 will be a forced managed device. This means

that in order to continue using the device after these steps, the End User must register the K300 to

SafeConsole before accessing any data on the device. For best results, complete the steps below

either right out of the box or after a Zeroize function is performed. This will allow the administrator

to transition the device to the End User while the default password is still set, and the user will be

required to change the password upon the fourth unlock.

1. Download the latest Sentry K300 updater, located on DataLocker's ﬁrmware page:

datalocker.com/device-updates.

2. Authenticate on the K300 keypad with the device admin password (Default password is

'1234567'), select Connect, and insert the Sentry K300 into the Windows workstation.

3. Open the Sentry K300 Updater downloaded in step 1. The updater should show the serial

number of the device plugged in and its current ﬁrmware, along with the ﬁrmware that

will be loaded onto the device. Clicking Force SafeConsole will force SafeConsole mode.

This guarantees that the K300 will not be used in an unmanaged state. This mode cannot
