Before Installation
You will be required to partition and format the new hard
drive before use. Always perform partition and format
functions with the secure key plugged in; otherwise the
hard drive cannot be encrypted. After formatting the hard
drive the secure key can be safely removed and the
enclosure will operate normally. Performing partition and
format operations will erase all the data on the disk.
ROCSTOR (ROCSECURE) IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY LOST DATA.
After Installation
1) Since the IEEE 1394 bus powers the IEEE 1394(b)/
USB 2.0 enclosure; the secure key must be inserted
before the IEEE 1394(b) connector. If the secure key is
not inserted first, the host computer may not recognize
the enclosure.
Similarly, the secure key must first be inserted in the
encrypted USB 2.0 enclosure with USB Y-cable.
2) Plug in the secure key every time you connect the
HDD enclosure to the host.
You may remove the secure key after the host computer
has detected the Rocbit 3.
3) Always keep the secure key with you. You will be
required to insert the secure key when you power on your
Rocbit encrypted Hard Drive enclosure. Without the same
secure key, the host is not able to detect the Rocbit hard
drive when powered on. Once you have accessed your
hard drive the secure key may be removed. The hard
drive can then be accessed without the secure key as
long as the Rocbit encrypted hard drive is powered on.

4) The host cannot access the HDD when the enclosure
LED indicator is red. A red LED indicator means no key is
inserted. If the LED indicator is red you must completely
power off the encrypted enclosure, insert the secure key,
then power on the enclosure again.
