Product description

The ThinkPad eSATA/USB Secure Hard Drive (hereafter called the secure hard drive) is a portable,

light-weight, eSATA, high-speed USB 2.0 standard option that offers high level data security. You can

transfer data through either the USB connector or the eSATA connector on the secure hard drive. In

addition to all the regular eSATA and USB hard disk drive functions, it also provides you with an

easy-to-use full disk encryption solution. All the functions are integrated into the secure hard drive;

therefore, you can manage passwords and access the secure hard drive without using other software

applications.

The secure hard drive has three working modes:

v Standby Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is locked.)

v User Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is unlocked.)

v Admin Mode (In this mode, the secure hard drive is locked.)

Note: Passwords are required for the Admin Mode and the User Mode. Accordingly, they are called the

Admin Password and the User Password.

Chapter 2. Installing the ThinkPad eSATA/USB Secure Hard

Drive

This chapter provides information about installing the secure hard drive.

Before you begin the installation

Be sure to review the following information before you begin to install and use the secure hard drive.

Attention: Use only the cables that come with this option. You might damage the drive if you use a

cable not included in the option package. The option is designed for portable use without an ac power

adapter. Do not attach an ac power adapter to this drive.

v To avoid damaging your secure hard drive, handle with care. When transporting the drive or when it

is not in use, place it in the carrying case that comes with the option.

v For reliable performance of the secure hard drive, make sure that the USB data cable, the USB power

cable, and the eSATA data cable are attached directly from the drive to the computer USB connectors

or to an ac-powered USB hub. Do not connect the USB cables to a non-powered USB hub.

Installing the secure hard drive

To install the secure hard drive, do the following:

1. Attach one end of the power cable to the secure hard drive, and then attach the other end to an

available USB connector on your computer. The indicator light turns red, as shown:

OK

2. Depending on the connector you are using to transfer data, do one of the following:

v If you are using the USB connector on your computer, attach one end of the USB data cable to the

secure hard drive, and then attach the other end to another available USB connector on your

computer, as shown:

OK

v If you are using the eSATA/USB combo connector on your computer (typically found on ThinkPad

SL410, SL510, T400s, T410s, T510, and W510 notebook computers), attach one end of the eSATA

data cable to the secure hard drive, and then attach the other end to the eSATA/USB combo

connector on your computer, as shown:

OK

Note: When you are using the eSATA/USB combo connector, the eSATA data cable functions as a

data cable and power cable simultaneously.

Chapter 4. Troubleshooting

This section contains troubleshooting information for the secure hard drive. If you encounter any of the

following problems when using the secure hard drive, refer to the corresponding answers.

Q: How do I use the secure hard drive for the first time?

A: You can use it in one of the following ways:

v Enter the Admin Mode with 12345678 (default Admin Password). Then you are able to change the

Admin Password or create a User Password.

v Directly enter the secure User Mode with 12345678 (default Admin Password) to use the secure hard

drive.

Q: Why could I not enter the User Mode after I attached the secure hard drive to the computer and

entered the correct password?

A: Because the secure hard drive needs several seconds to be ready for password input. To solve the

problem, wait for several seconds after you attach the secure hard drive to the computer, and then enter

your password.

Q: What can I do if I forget the User Password?

A: You can create a new User Password. To create a new User Password, do the following:

1. Enter the Admin Mode using the Admin Password .

2. Delete the previous User Password. See “Deleting the User Password” on page 1-9.

3. Create your new User Password. See “Adding a new User Password” on page 1-9.

Q: What can I do if I forget the Admin Password?

A: There is no other way to retrieve the Admin Password except a complete reset of the secure hard

drive. After a complete reset, all data will be lost and you will need to initialize, allocate, and format the

secure hard drive manually. Then you will be able to use the default Admin Password 12345678.

Q: Why did the operating system not recognize the secure hard drive after I completely reset the

computer and entered the User Mode?

A: You need to initialize, allocate, and format the secure hard drive manually. For more information, refer

to “Initializing and formatting the secure hard drive after a complete reset” on page 1-10.

Q: Can I initialize and format the secure hard drive with a Windows user account?

A: No, this is a Windows limitation. You must use the Admin account to initialize and format the secure

hard drive.

Q: How do I use the secure hard drive without a password?

A: As a full disk encryption product, the secure hard drive can never be used without a password.

Q: What encryption algorithm is used in this product?

A: AES 256 bits algorithm.

Q: Why could I not change my User Password that has the same digits as the Admin password?

A: You can change it only in the Admin Mode. In the User Mode, the User Password that has the same

digits created in the Admin Mode cannot be changed or deleted.

Q: Why could I not create recovery media using the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery program?

A: Ensure that your secure hard drive can be accessed correctly. If you still cannot create recovery media,

format the secure hard drive with the NTFS file system of your computer and try again.

Q: Why could I not initialize, partition, or format the secure hard drive?

A: Ensure that you have administrator privileges. You can use only the administrator account to initialize,

partition, or format the secure hard drive in the Admin Mode.

Q: Why could the system not boot from the secure hard drive?

A: As this is a secure hard drive, before you use it, you will need several seconds to input a password

and unlock the secure hard drive. When the secure hard drive is unlocked, the system has already

finished the boot process. Therefore, the system could not boot from the secure hard drive.
