Operating the PD-4

Initial Startup

1) Unpack the shipping carton/case and take out the PD-4 Physical Destroyer.
2) Please make sure that the PD-4 has not been damaged during transportation.
3) Please retain all shipping materials for possible future use.
4) Confirm power requirements as indicated on label located on back of PD-4.

Sequence of Auto Mode Operation

1) Press the "Power Switch" to "ON". The Blue and Green lamps illuminate briefly, the Yellow lamp flashes
and the destruction wedge returns to home position.
2) Open door and place the hard drive(s) on the Support Rails.
Note: Center the hard drive between right and left Support Rails and ensure the hard drive(s) are
pushed to the back (Laptop drives can be oriented perpendicular to the standard drive orientation to
mount on both support rails). The Green light will illuminate when the hard drive(s) are detected by
the auto-sizing sensors located on the back wall of the destruction chamber.
3) Close the door and press the "Size" button.
Notes:
a. The PD-4 will automatically size the hard drive(s) and lower the wedge to just above the
hard drive and stop. This will happen only on the first hard drive or until the "Size" button is
pressed again or the PD-4 is powered off.
b. Pressing the "Size" button at anytime during auto mode operation will return the destruction
wedge to the home position
4) Press the "Destroy" button. The PD-4 will destroy the media in the destruction chamber in a pre-set
cycle and return to the previously set position to be ready to destroy the next piece of media of the
same size.
5) Open the door and remove the hard drive(s) when the Green light illuminates, indicating the destruction
process is complete.
6) Insert media and close the door and repeat from Step 4 until the job is complete or repeat from Step 3 if
a different height media is inserted in the chamber.
