Reset switch HDD LED Power LED Cipher keyhole Disable reset switch jumper ­ By default, CipherChain-e reset switch is enabled. Disabling the reset switch is recommended if the CipherChain-e is connected to a boot drive or nonhotswap SATA controller card. Reset switch ­ Under certain applications, the RESET button enables the adding and removing of hard drives without restarting the system. When the CipherChain-e is connecting a removable drive system to a SATA port that supports hot swap, the drive can be removed without powering off the computer. However the drive icon will still be there as the system does not realize a hard drive is removed from the system. Resetting will turn off the CipherChain-e, clear the key code and remove the drive icon. We recommend resetting the CipherChain-e whenever a hard drive is removed from a system to ensure better security. Best Practices: Create a label to identify the SATA storage device and the Cipher key used to encrypt the device. Always keep a spare master key in a safe place. For additional information about the CipherChain-e, refer to the CipherChain-e manual on the CD or download a copy from www. addonics. com b. Likewise when a new hard drive is added to a removable drive system.
