The Standby Mode is the default working mode of the Secure Hard Drive and
is the gateway to other working modes.
To enter the Standby Mode, attach the Secure Hard Drive to your computer.
The drive automatically goes into Standby Mode and the indicator light turns
red. In this mode, the Secure Hard Drive is locked. It cannot be recognized by
the operating system and it does not provide either the regular functions or the
encryption function. However, it enables you to enter and switch between the
Admin Mode and the User Mode.
Note: To switch between the Admin Mode and the User Mode, you are
required to switch to the Standby Mode first, and then you can enter the
mode of your choice
