Introduction
Box Contents
The diskAshur2 is an easy to use, ultra-secure, hardware encrypted portable drive with capacities of up to 5TB. Simply
connect the integrated USB 3.1 cable to any computer and enter a 7-15 digit PIN, if the correct PIN is entered, all data stored
on the drive will be decrypted and accessible. To lock the drive and encrypt all data, simply eject the diskAshur2 from the
host computer and the entire contents of the drive will be encrypted (full disk encryption) using military grade AES 256-bit
hardware encryption (XTS mode). If the drive is lost or stolen and an incorrect PIN is entered 15 consecutive times, the drive
will reset, the encryption key will be deleted and all data previously stored on the drive will be lost forever.
One of the unique and underlying security features of the GDPR compliant diskAshur2 is the dedicated hardware based secure
microprocessor (Common Criteria EAL4+ ready), which employs built-in physical protection mechanisms designed to defend
against external tamper, bypass attacks and fault injections. Unlike other solutions, the diskAshur2 reacts to an automated
attack by entering the deadlock frozen state, which renders all such attacks as useless. In plain and simple terms, without the
PIN there’s no way in!

6. Changing the Admin PIN
1. In Admin mode, press and hold down
UNLOCK + 2” buttons
Solid BLUE LED will change to blinking GREEN
and solid BLUE LEDs
2. Enter NEW Admin PIN and press “UNLOCK” button
Blinking GREEN and solid BLUE LEDs will
switch to a single GREEN LED blink and then
back to blinking GREEN and solid BLUE LEDs
3. Re-enter the NEW Admin PIN and press “UNLOCK
button
Blinking GREEN and solid BLUE LEDs change
to a rapidly blinking BLUE LED and finally to a
solid BLUE LED indicating the Admin PIN has
been successfully changed
To change the Admin PIN, first enter the “Admin Mode” as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode
(solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
PIN requirements:
• Must be between 7-15 digits in length
• Must not contain only repetitive numbers, e.g. (3-3-3-3-3-3-3)
• Must not contain only consecutive numbers, e.g. (1-2-3-4-5-6-7), (7-8-9-0-1-2-3-4), (7-6-5-4-3-2-1)
Examples of these types of Alphanumerical PINs are:
• For “Password you would press the following keys:
7 (pqrs) 2 (abc) 7 (pqrs) 7 (pqrs) 9 (wxyz) 6 (mno) 7 (pqrs) 3 (def)
• For “iStorage you would press:
4 (ghi) 7 (pqrs) 8 (tuv) 6 (mno) 7 (pqrs) 2 (abc) 4 (ghi) 3 (def)
Using this method, long and easy to remember PINs can be created.
Password Tip: You can create a memorable word, name, phrase or any other Alphanumerical PIN combination
by simply pressing the key with the corresponding letters on it.
Note: The SHIFT key can be used for additional combinations. SHIFT + 1 is a separate value than just 1.
To create a PIN using additional combinations, press and hold down the SHIFT button whilst entering
your 7-15 digit PIN. e.g. SHIFT + 26756498.

7. Setting a User PIN Policy
The Administrator can set a restriction policy for the User PIN. This policy includes setting the minimum length of the PIN
(from 7 to 15 digits), as well as requiring or not the input of a 'Special Character'. The “Special Character” functions as
'Shift + digit'.
To set a User PIN Policy (restrictions) you will need to enter 3 digits, for instance '091', the first two digits (09) indicate
the minimum PIN length (in this case, 9) and the last digit (1) denotes that a 'Special Character' must be used, in other
words 'Shift + digit'. In the same way, a User PIN Policy can be set without the need of a 'Special Character', for instance
'120', the first two digits (12) indicate the minimum PIN length (in this case,12) and the last digit (0) meaning no Special
Character is required.
Once the Administrator has set the User PIN Policy, for instance '091', a new User PIN will need to be created. If the
Administrator creates the User PIN as '247688314' with the use of a 'Special Character' (Shift+digit), this can be
placed anywhere along your 7-15 digit PIN during the process of creating the User PIN as shown in the examples below.
A. 'Shift + 2', '4', '7', '6', '8', '8', '3', '1', '4',
B. '2', '4', 'Shift + 7', '6', '8', '8', '3', '1', '4',
C. '2', '4', '7', '6', '8', '8', '3', '1', 'Shift + 4',
Note:
• If a 'Special Character' was used during the creation of the User PIN, for instance, example 'B' above, then
the drive can only be unlocked by entering the PIN with the 'Special Character' entered precisely in the order
created, as per example 'B' above - (’2’, ‘4’, ‘Shift + 7’, ‘6’, ‘8’, ‘8’, ‘3’, ‘1’, ‘4’).
• Users are able to change their PIN but are forced to comply with the set 'User PIN Policy' (restrictions), if
and when applicable.
• Setting a new User PIN Policy will automatically delete the User PIN if one exists.
• This policy does not apply to the ‘Self-Destruct PIN’. The complexity setting for the Self-Destruct PIN and
Admin PIN is always 7-15 digits, with no special character required.

d. A BLUE blink indicates that a 'Special Character' was used.
e. All LED’s (RED, GREEN & BLUE) become solid for 1 second.
f. LEDs return to solid BLUE
The Administrator is able to check the User PIN Policy and can identify the minimum PIN length restriction and whether or
not the use of a Special Character has been set by noting the LED sequence as described below.
To check the User PIN Policy, first enter the “Admin Mode” as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode
(solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
The table below describes the LED behaviour whilst checking the User PIN Policy, for instance if you have set a 12 digit User
PIN with the use of a Special Character, the RED LED will blink once (1) and the GREEN will blink twice (2) followed by a
single BLUE LED blink indicating that a Special Character must be used.
PIN Description 3 digit Setup RED GREEN BLUE
