“FORT KNOX” DOCKING STATION User Manual DA-74001 “FORT KNOX” is compatible with SATA type 3.5” and 2.5” HDD/SSD. The product doesn’t include a HDD/SSD. Users have to purchase and install their own HDD. DIGITUS cannot take any responsibility to any HDD failures, users would need to contact the HDD manufacturers in relation to any HDD malfunction. “FORT KNOX” doesn’t support “Hot Plugging” for AES hardware encryption. Before replacing HDD (2.5” or 3.5”), users must turn (power) off “FORT KNOX” and then, replace HDD Please don’t place any magnetic material around “FORT KNOX”. It may damage the data of HDD installed in “FORT KNOX”. Also, don’t drop or cause any hard impact to the “FORT KNOX”. HDD can be damaged easily by magnetic material or strong impact. It is always advisable to back up important data. The encryption of “FORT KNOX” is hardware based. “FORT KNOX” can connect and work with all OS, Embedded devices and media players which support USB host. Basically “FORT KNOX” uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) 256 bit encryption algorithms. Additionally, it supports higher level encryption management via Password input and Master-key registration. If a user loses or forgets a master-key and password, we (DIGITUS) can’t rescue or recover any data. User need to format the HDD to use it again. “FORT KNOX” doesn’t use any S/W for encryption. Users can set up the security by inputting 4~8 digits password via front touch panel buttons of “FORT KNOX”. “FORT KNOX” encrypts the entire HDD, once encrypted it is impossible to read or decode any data on the HDD even though it’s connected with other PC systems. “FORT KNOX” supports User Password protection feature. If user enter wrong password 3 times in a row, the interval to ask password input is lengthened continuously. If users forget the Password of “FORT KNOX”, users have to visit our official A/S center or country official distributor to rescue and recover HDD data. When visiting A/S center, users should bring both “FORT KNOX” (HDD) and Master-key. Master-key shows the authentication of owner of “FORT KNOX”. “FORT KNOX” supports both security and normal mode. In case of security mode (with password input), it takes 10 seconds longer booting-time than normal mode. It’s because “FORT KNOX” is re-connected after stand-by for the security mode activation and safety connection. “FORT KNOX” supports ‘un-mount’ feature. When disconnecting “FORT KNOX” from PC, please use ‘un-mount’ feature on “FORT KNOX” or ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ of Windows. If you disconnect USB cable during data transfer, data loss may occur. Please pay attention to it. “FORT KNOX” supports USB3.0 Super-Speed. Data transfer speed (reading and writing) of “FORT KNOX” can be affected by the performance (RPM) of HDD. The data transfer speed of 7,200RPM HDD is rather faster than 5,200RPM HDD. SPECIFICATION Model name DIGITUS “FORT KNOX” Power Source AC adaptor (12V, 2A) HDD 3.5 inch, 2.5 inch SATA I, II, III HDD/SSD Interface USB 3.0 SUPER SPEED (Max 5Gbps) (USB3.0 Max speed is available when it’s connected with USB3.0 host device.)

(4) Power LED: Stand-by mode (RED), Power on (BLUE) (5) Power Button: Turn on and off “FORT KNOX” by pressing the Power Button. (6) Speaker: Voice support for main functions. (7) USB Port: Connect “FORT KNOX” with various PC and devices via USB3.0 port. (Compatible with USB2.0 devices also) (8) DC IN: Use and connect the AC adaptor (12V, 2A) included in basic accessory. HDD Installation (3.5 inch type) As below picture, install 3.5” HDD with vertical direction. In case of HDD installation with wrong or slant direction, it can cause damage of SATA connector of HDD. HDD Installation (2.5 inch type) Please use 2.5” HDD bracket (cover) for 2.5” HDD/SSD installation. 2.5” HDD/SSD should be installed vertically and correctly. USE as an external HDD (Normal Mode) (1) When “FORT KNOX” is connected with PC via USB port, the front OLED display window shows a message “The new HDD is connected. Will you use Password?”. Press <0> button on the front touch panel to select Normal external mode (not using security mode). (2) Below “Lock icon” means it’s the status of normal external storage mode. (3) In case of new HDD, to use it as an external HDD storage, users have to initialize the HDD under computer’s operating system. (See page 2 – HDD initialization). In case of used HDD, it can be used instantly without any other process. USE as an external security HDD (Security Mode) (1) When “FORT KNOX” is connected with PC via USB port, the front OLED display window shows the message “The new HDD is connected. Will you use Password?” Press <1> button on the front touch panel of “FORT KNOX” to use Password (Security mode). (2) LCD shows message “Enter a password for the first time”. Then, please enter your password (4~8 digits) by pressing numeric buttons on the front panel of “FORT KNOX” and press <Enter> button to apply it. (3) It’s the process to identify your password. Just enter the same password you entered in previous (2) step and press <Enter> button to apply it. (If you enter wrong or different password, you can’t go to the next step. You have to re-start the process again.) (4) Once the password input process is completed, the LCD will show the 16 digits Master-Key numbers of the installed HDD. LCD will show the master-key numbers till you press any other button on “FORT KNOX”. <Example Disply> (5) Press any button on “FORT KNOX”, then Master-key disappears. In Security mode, LCD shows ‘Lock’ icon and ‘LOCKDOCK’ message as below. (6) Before using HDD, users have to initialize the HDD under computer’s operating system. (See page 2 – HDD initialization). Note : In case of using Security mode, HDD installed in “FORT KNOX” should be initialized newly even though HDD already got formatted or it’s used HDD. When user selects “Security Mode”, PC recognizes the HDD in “FORT KNOX” as a totally new HDD. LOCKDOCK What is the ‘Master-Key’? Master-key is the essential code to recover HDD data. If you forget the password you entered on the security HDD or your “FORT KNOX” get damaged, you can’t connect or read any data on HDD. Even though you connect the HDD to your PC system, your PC can’t read anything at all because it’s totally encrypted by AES 256 bit encryption technology. Master-key is not for individual user. The data can be recovered only by our special program in our official service centers. To recover HDD data, you have to visit us with “FORT KNOX” and Master-key. If you lose Master-key, it’s impossible for us to recover your HDD data in any events. So, you should write down Master-Key and keep it safely, just in case. [Note] If HDD itself gets physical damage, it’s impossible to recover any data on damaged HDD even with Master-key.) 0A1B3C4D 5E6F7G8H Re-enter your password **** Enter a password first time **** Will you use Password? 0=NO, 1=YES LOCKDOCK Will you use Password? 0=NO, 1=YES Note (USB3.0 cable) Please use an authentic and original USB 3.0 cable for the USB3.0 Super Speed and stable performance. Caution: Before changing HDD, turn (power) off “FORT KNOX”. - “FORT KNOX” doesn’t support “Hot Plugging” due to Data Encryption (AES) processing. - When changing HDDs, “FORT KNOX” should be powered off. - In case of HDD changing in the power on status (“FORT KNOX”), it can cause damage on data on HDD. We don’t have any duty or responsibility on it. Precautions before use Please read the following instructions carefully before using the product.
