Aegis Padlock DT Setup for Mac OS
®
Your Aegis Padlock 3 is pre-formatted in NTFS for Windows. To reformat the drive to
a Mac compatible format please perform the following:
Once the key is unlocked, open Disk Utility from Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
To format the Aegis Padlock 3:
1. Select the Aegis Padlock 3 from the list of keys and volumes. Each drive in
the list will display its capacity, manufacturer, and product name, such as 232.9
Apricorn Padlock 3.
2. Click the Erase tab.
3. Enter a name for the drive. The default name is Untitled. The drive’s name will
eventually appear on the desktop.
4. Select a volume format to use. The Volume Format dropdown menu lists the
available drive formats that the Mac supports. The recommended format type is
Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
5. Click the Erase button. Disk Utility will unmount the volume from the desktop,
erase it, and then remount it on the desktop.
Diagnostic Mode
The keypad has a manual diagnostic mode built-in to verify proper keypad
function and troubleshooting key issues. This mode will not allow access to
any data or admin function. It can only be used to identify the rmware level
and to test button recognition.
To enter the diagnostic function:
1. From standby mode, press LOCK + 1, release, then press and continue
to hold the 0 button as the RED and BLUE LEDs blink alternately. Once
all three LEDs illuminate steadily, release the 0 button.
2. The BLUE LED will blink a number of times to represent the number of
both the major and minor revisions. The decimal point will be represented
by a single RED LED blink. Upon completion, the BLUE LED will glow
steadily. (Example: VERSION 4.1 would be indicated by four BLUE LED
blinks, one RED LED blink, one BLUE LED blink, and one RED LED blink,
then revert to the BLUE LED glowing steadily.)
3. To check the keypad’s button functionality, press each button and
the number of the button pressed will be expressed by the RED LED
blinking. (Example: 1 Button= 1 blink, 2 Button = 2 blinks, 3 Button = 3
blinks...0 Button = 10 blinks, Button = 11 blinks, CANCEL Button =
12 blinks.)
4. To exit the Diagnostic Mode, wait for the 20 second timeout or hold
the CANCEL Button for ~7 seconds to return the key to its normal
operation.
Self-Diagnostics:
During the initial power up, after the drive has been plugged into a USB
port, the drive will perform self-diagnostics on the encryption algorithm and
critical hardware components. If the RED LED blinks at a rate of one blink
per second for 15 seconds, returns to standby and will not unlock, unplug
the drive from USB port and try again. If the RED LED continues to blink in
the manner mentioned above and won’t unlock upon USB re-insertion, a
critical component has failed and the drive can no longer function.
If the drive blinks a triple-RED LED pattern that is repeated every two
seconds when unlocked, a failure has occurred that will not immediately
stop the device from working nor affect the security of the device, but
should be considered as a warning that the device needs to be replaced in
the near future. Additionally, Admin features may be limited in this mode.
If either condition should appear, remove the drive from the USB port and
allow the drive to go to sleep, and try to unlock the drive again. The event
of either diagnostic failure will be very rare, but if the drive cannot recover,
it must be replaced.
