Encrypted Disk Change (MINI PRO/ST/LK)

Procedures for migrating an encrypted drive to a new IODD device while preserving data.

Drive Compatibility An encrypted HDD/SSD can be moved to another ST400/LK100 device while maintaining the existing encrypted data, provided you synchronize the security settings correctly.

Preparation

To migrate your encrypted data to a new device, you will need:

• Existing Drive: The original HDD/SSD containing your encrypted data.

• Temp Drive: A secondary or temporary drive used only for the initial setup of the new IODD.

• New IODD: The replacement ST400/LK100 enclosure.

Safety First Do not install your Existing Drive into the New IODD until you have completed the 2nd password configuration. This prevents any accidental data initialization during the setup phase.

Migration Procedure

Follow these steps to synchronize your new hardware with the existing encryption:

1. Initial Setup with the Temp Drive

Install the Temp Drive into your New IODD enclosure. This drive acts as a placeholder to safely initialize the encryption settings on the new hardware.

2. Synchronize the 2nd Password

Navigate to the menu and set the 2nd Password on the New IODD. Refer to: 2nd Password Setup Guide

Password Consistency You must set the exact same 2nd password that was used on the original device. If the drive is not recognized after the migration, you can simply re-run this process with the correct 2nd password to regain access.

3. Hardware Swap

After successfully setting the 2nd password, power off the device and remove the Temp Drive from the enclosure.

4. Final Migration

Install your Existing Drive into the New IODD. The device will now recognize the encryption, and you can unlock your data using your original administrator or user passwords.

Troubleshooting Access Issues If your Existing Drive is not recognized after migration, it is likely that the 2nd password was entered incorrectly. In this case, re-insert the Temp Drive, use the [Chg Password] menu in Admin mode to set the correct 2nd password, and then try the Existing Drive again.

Encryption Prefix Remember to enter the identification digit when prompted for a password:

• 0 + [Admin Password]

• 1~4 + [User Password]
