Setting A Self Destruct Pin - iStorage diskg User Manual

17. Setting a Self Destruct PIN

The diskG has the ability to set a PIN that will reset the encryption key if needed. By resetting the encryption key all data on
the drive will be lost and cannot be recovered.
Note: After initiating the Self Destruct sequence, the PIN used to initiate the self destruct sequence will
become the default Admin PIN. The drive will need to be initialized and reformatted. For directions
see page 15.
To set a Self Destruct PIN please use the following steps:
Note: The PIN must be a minimum of 6 digits in the length (16 max) and cannot match any Admin
or User codes already used by the drive. In the future, a User or Admin code can not be set to the
same number as used by the Self Destruct PIN.
