EC-M120 Quick Start Guide
Important Note for Encrypted Models Only:
You will be required to partition and format the hard drive disk (HDD) after
installing it in the encrypted enclosure. Always perform partition and format
functions with the Secure Key plugged in. If you are adding a new disk, then
no backup is required. Otherwise, you are advised to back up the disk. WE
ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST DATA.
There is no “back door” into the security system of the enclosure. Without the
Secure Key, you will not be able to access the data or operating system on the
protected disk. This means you must keep the backup key in a safe place at
all times. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO CREATE A SECURE KEY WITH THE
SAME “SECRET KEY” WITHOUT YOUR BACKUP KEY. Please contact
your supplier immediately if you lose one of your Secure Keys. If you lose all
Secure Keys, you will NOT be able to decrypt your HDD
Assembling the 3.5” HDD Enclosure Kit
Install a hard disk drive in the Enclosure Kit by completing the following steps.
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw from the rear panel of the
Enclosure.
2. Carefully remove the rear panel.
3. Slide the bottom panel out of the housing ensuring that adequate pressure
is applied.
4. When disassembled, the enclosure will appear as shown below.
5. Locate the plastic bag containing (4) auto-limiting screws included in the
package.

6. Ensure that the shock absorbers are installed in the mounting brackets
with the “thin” side facing out.
7. Insert the IDE cable into the hard drive.
8. Insert the control board power cable into the receptacle on the hard drive.
9. Place the hard drive in the housing positioning it between the shock
absorbers.
10. Align the opening on the hard drive with the opening in the shock absorber
and insert the first screw. Tighten the first screw ensuring that proper
alignment is maintained. Repeat for the remaining three screws.
11. Align the edges of the hard drive platform with the integral rails and
carefully slide the assembled platform into the enclosure housing.
12. Ensure that the LED indicator is properly aligned with the opening on the
front panel of the enclosure.
13. Fasten the rear panel to the enclosure housing by replacing the screws
included in the package.

Connecting the Enclosure Kit to a Computer
For Standard models:
1. Connect the AC/DC power adapter, then turn on the power switch; ensure
that the green LED indicator is active. The orange LED indicator will blink
during data transfer.
ON!!
2. Insert the USB or IEEE 1394(b) connector into the corresponding port.
3. Insert the USB or IEEE 1394(b) connector into an available port on the
computer.
For Encrypted models:
1. Insert the Secure Key into the security key port indicated by the secure
key icon “ “on the rear panel of the Enclosure Kit. As the shape of
the security key port is similar to the shape of the IEEE 1394 port, ensure
that the Secure Key is inserted only into the security key port. Incorrect
insertion into a port other than the designated security key port may result
in damage to the Secure Key and/or other ports/equipment.
2. Connect the AC/DC power adapter; turn on the power switch, ensure that
the green LED indicator is active. The orange LED indicator will blink
during data transfer.
ON!!
3. Insert one end of the USB or IEEE 1394(b) connector into a
corresponding port on the enclosure.
4. Insert the USB or IEEE 1394(b) connector into an available port on the
computer.
Note: If the LED indicator is red, security is not enabled. Ensure that the
Secure Key is inserted before power on, and USB/FireWire cables are properly
connected
