Chapter 2 Jupiter Cipher ExDrive key
Check to make sure you have the correct version of Jupiter Cipher ExDrive key.
The key should match the label at the bottom of the drive enclosure.
IMPORTANT
There is no back door for the Jupiter Cipher ExDrive encrypted hard drive if
the key is lost or stolen.
To ensure that there is a spare key, your Jupiter Cipher ExDrive bundled kit
comes with one pair of Jupiter Cipher ExDrive keys. These 2 keys have
identical encryption code. One of these keys should be kept in a safe and secure
location and can be sent back to Addonics for duplicating additional keys. If
you are down to the last key, be sure to make a back up of all the data stored
inside your encrypted hard drive prior to sending the last key to Addonics.
Addonics is not responsible for key lost in the mail or retrieval of the data
inside the encrypted hard drive.
Ø The CIPHER key MUST be inserted at the front of the drive enclosure
in order for the drive to be ACTIVATED.
Ø Once the drive is INITIALIZED using the Cipher Key that comes with
the kit, the drive can only be accessed by the original key.
Ø The 2 keys that come with each Jupiter Cipher ExDrive bundled kit
has their own unique encryption code. So the keys among different
kits are not interchangeable.
If you have multiple sets of Jupiter Cipher ExDrive kits and would like all the
keys to have the same encryption code, you may make this request at the time
of your order or mail the keys together with master key back to Addonics to
recode them for you. Again be sure that you keep a spare key with you. Make a
back up of your data if you are mailing in your last key.
