III. USB2.0 mode  
1. Insert card to ExpressCard slot.  
2. Attached a USB storage device to the hybrid eSATA  
port.  
Driver Installation:  
1. Insert AES 256-bit cipher key on the cipher keyhole.  
2. Press cipher switch using a pen tip or equivalent to ON  
position to enable encryption.  
3. The system should detect an additional drive.  
3. Insert CipherChain Expresscard to ExpressCard slot.  
4. Attached an eSATA storage device to the hybrid eSATA  
port. This is required to power on the CipherChain  
Expresscard.  
5. “Found New Hardware Wizard” opens. Follow wizard to  
update driver and navigate to the driver folder where the  
driver file is located.  
6. In cases where the “Found New Hardware Wizard” does  
not display, try to locate unknown Mass Storage  
Controller in Device Manager. Highlight and right click  
on the Mass Storage Controller then select Update  
driver. Navigate to the driver folder where the driver file  
is located.  
Note: You may remove the cipher key from the CipherChain  
Expresscard once it is powered on. All the files being  
transferred into the drive are still encrypted even if the cipher  
key is removed.  
CipherChain Expresscard will be turned off whenever the  
eSATA cable is removed. This will remove the hard drive  
from the system and clear the cipher code.  
Best Practices:  
Create a label to identify the eSATA storage device and  
the Cipher key used to encrypt the device.  
Always keep a spare master key in a safe place.  
7. After driver installation, restart the system.
