Setting Up My Device

To ensure there is ample power provided to the S1000B encrypted USB drive, insert it
directly into a USB 2.0/3.2 Gen 1 port on a notebook or desktop. Avoid connecting it to
any peripheral devices that may feature a USB port, such as a keyboard or USB-
powered hub. Initial setup of the device must be done on a supported Windows or
macOS based operating system.

Device Access (Windows Environment)

1. Plug the S1000B encrypted USB drive into an available USB port on the notebook
or desktop and wait for Windows to detect it.
• Windows 11 and 10 users will receive a device driver notification.
• Once the new hardware detection is complete, Windows will prompt to begin the
initialization process.
2. Select the option IronKey.exe inside of the IRONKEY partition that can be found
in File Explorer. Please note that the partition letter will vary based on the next
free drive letter. The drive letter may change depending on what devices are
connected. In the image below, the drive letter is (E:).

Device Access (macOS Environment)

1. Plug the S1000B encrypted USB drive into an available USB port on the macOS
notebook or desktop and wait for the operating system to detect it.
2. Double click the IRONKEY volume that appears on the desktop to start the
initialization process.
• If the IRONKEY volume does not appear on the desktop, open Find er and locate
the IronKey volume on the left side of the Find er window (listed under Devices.)
Highlight the volume and double-click the IRONKEY application icon in the Finder
window. This will start the initialization process.
