2. First time use

This section contains instructions on how to set up the KryptoDisk 2 during first time use. Before you can start

using the KryptoDisk 2, you must initialize (i.e. pair) the device and the Smart Card (included), and thereafter

format the hard drive from your computer's operating system.

Unlike most other drives on the market, Hiddn's two-factor encryption products cannot be pre-formatted. This

is a security, precaution feature and a consequence of how the encryption module inside the KryptoDisk 2 is

designed. When you pair the KryptoDisk 2 with the Smart Card, the data encryption key is transferred to the

device for the first time. That means that any pre-installed data (e.g. partition tables) would be unreadable. To

be able to use the KryptoDisk 2 with your computer, the KryptoDisk 2 therefore needs to be formatted upon

first use.

When the KryptoDisk 2 is initialized and formatted, it is ready to be used together with your preferred device.

Initialize the KryptoDisk 2 encryption module

1. Power up and insert the Smart Card in your KryptoDisk 2.

2. Connect the device to your computer using the included USB cable.

3. The device will prompt you to confirm initialization with the Smart Card. Press the "9"-key followed by the

"#"-key to confirm.

4. Wait until the device prompts you to restart, then disconnect the USB cable.

5. Reconnect the USB cable with the Smart Card still inserted in the device.

6. The device will prompt you to select and confirm a PUK code. Enter your code and press the "#"-key to

proceed. Please refer to section 7 – Passphrase, PUK and PIN requirements to ensure that your PUK code

is valid. If you don't want to set a PUK code, leave the field blank and press the "#" key to proceed.

7. The device will prompt you to select and confirm a PIN code. Enter your code and press the "#"-key to

proceed. Please refer to section 7 – Passphrase, PUK and PIN requirements to ensure that your PIN code is

valid.

The encryption module inside KryptoDisk 2 is now initialized and successfully paired with the Smart Card.
