Enclosure and Drive Cradle Overview
The drive enclosure is the enclosure where a SATA hard drive is mounted and
secured by 4 screws.
Drive cradle, also known as fixed tray, is the frame that mounts inside the drive
bay of a desktop, server or any computing equipment. The drive cradle provides
both power and data connection between the computer and the drive enclosure.
The Diamond cipher drive cradle fits into any standard 5 ¼” drive bay and can
connect to the computer via SATA or USB 2.0. This interface allows hot
swapping the hard drive without restarting or rebooting the system. The Diamond
drive cradle is compatible with all Diamond drive enclosures and Diamond cipher
drive enclosures. As a result you can insert SATA or IDE hard drive, encrypted or
unencrypted, into the same drive cradle of a computer.

Diamond Cipher key
Check to make sure you have the correct version of the Diamond Cipher key.
The key should match the label at the back
of the drive enclosure.
Black label AES-256 stands for Diamond
Cipher 256-bit key
IMPORTANT
There is no back door for the Diamond Cipher encrypted hard drive if the
key is lost or stolen.
To ensure there is a spare key, your Diamond Cipher bundled kit comes with one
pair of Diamond Cipher keys. These 2 keys have identical encryption code. One
of these keys should be kept in a safe and secure location and can be sent back
to Addonics for duplicating additional keys. If you are down to the last key, be
sure to make a back up of all the data stored inside your encrypted hard drive
prior to sending the last key to Addonics. Addonics is not responsible for key lost
in the mail or retrieval of the data inside the encrypted hard drive.
The CIPHER key MUST be inserted at the front of the drive enclosure in
order for the drive to be ACTIVATED.
Once the drive is INITIALIZED using the Cipher Key that comes with the kit,
the drive can only be accessed by the original key.
The 2 keys that come with each Diamond Cipher bundled kit has their own
unique encryption code. So the keys among different kits are not
interchangeable.
If you have multiple sets of Diamond Cipher kits and would like all the keys
to have the same encryption code, you may make this request at the time of
your order or mail the keys together with master key back to Addonics to
recode them for you. Again be sure that you keep a spare key with you.
Make a back up of your data if you are mailing in your last key.
Keeping track of the hard drive
If you are using the Diamond Cipher drive enclosure to encrypt multiple hard
drives, it is important to label your hard drive if you are taking the drive out of the
enclosure. The hard drive with Diamond Cipher encryption will look like a brand
new drive when attach directly to the SATA controller of a computer. There will
be no partition or any hint to indicate that the drive contains encrypted data.
When the drive is partitioned, all the encrypted data will be lost.
The same holds true if a hard drive already has data on it is installed into the
Diamond Cipher drive enclosure. The computer detects the hard drive as a brand
new drive or a drive that is unallocated. Once you proceed to partition the drive,
the data that was on the hard drive will be erased and cannot be recovered.
A Diamond Cipher encrypted hard drive can be moved to another Diamond
Cipher drive enclosure. But the same key used in encrypting the hard drive must
be used in the new drive enclosure in order to access the drive.
If you are installing multiple Diamond Cipher drive kits in your
organization, it is important to keep track of the drive and the encryption
key. Once it gets mixed up, there is no possible way to recover the data on
the encrypted hard drive.
Hard Drive Installation Guide
Step 1
Use a Philips screwdriver to
turn the cover securing screw
into the “OPEN” position.
Step 2
Slide the aluminum cover
towards the back end of the
Diamond and remove it.
Step 3
Carefully place the SATA hard drive
with the label facing up into the
Diamond enclosure. Push the hard
drive towards the back end to secure
the drive connectors onto the
Diamond enclosure’s SATA
connector.
Step 4
Turn the Diamond enclosure over with
the hard drive mounting holes facing
up. Use the included flat head screws
to secure the hard drive onto the
bottom of the enclosure and turn in
the screw to the “LOCK” position.
Powering On the Drive Cartridge System:
Note: Be sure the Diamond cipher key is inserted into the drive enclosure prior
to turning on the power of the drive cradle. The hard drive will not be
detected by the computer if the power to the drive cradle is turned on
without the Cipher key. Under such condition, the power on the drive
cradle will have to be turned off and turned back on again with the
Cipher key already inserted into the drive enclosure in order to detect
the hard drive.
Power Switch:
To power on the enclosure, use the key provided to turn the locking mechanism
on the drive cradle into the Lock position. When the switch is turned on, the
green LED located on the left side of the drive cradle would light up to indicate
power. The encryption key LED will also light up. The amber LED will blink if
there is drive activity.
Note: There are no drivers needed to use the eSATA cable as long as the
drivers are installed for the Serial ATA Controller card/chip. It is plug
and play.
Brand new hard drive must be partitioned and formatted first before a
drive letter is assigned by the OS. When a hard drive with data on it is
formatted with the Diamond cipher all the data will be erased.
Once the drive is detected by the system OS, the Diamond cipher key
may be removed from the drive enclosure. The encryption key LED will
turn off but the Diamond Cipher hard drive will continue operating
normally (encrypting) till it is removed from the system or powered off.
Cable Connections
Model: DCDCS256S
Power: Use either the 4-pin Molex or the 15-pin SATA power connector.
Do not use both power sources simultaneously.
Data:
Connect the SATA cable to the SATA connector located at the back of the drive
cradle and the other end to the SATA connector on your SATA host controller or
onboard SATA port.
LED cable: Only needed if you want to get drive access signal from the SATA
controller. Use the LED cable to connect the LED pin located at the back of the
cradle (beside the LED switch) to the LED jumper pins on your SATA host
controller or onboard SATA port to enable the drive activity LED.
Factory default, LED signal coming from hard drive.
Model: DCDCS256U
Power: Using the 4-pin floppy connector of the Y-cable, connect it to the floppy-
type power connector on the converter. To provide power for the y-cable,
connect it to one of your desktop's 4-pin molex cable.
Data:
Internal Connection
Use the USB 5-pin header cable to connect to the 5-pin connection on the
converter located below the USB Type B connector to the 5-pin USB connection
on your motherboard.
External Connection
Use the USB Type A-B data cable to connect the converter to the USB port on
your system.
LED cable: Only needed if you want to get drive access signal from the SATA to
USB2.0 converter. Use the LED cable to connect the LED pin located at the back
of the cradle (beside the LED switch) to the LED jumper pins on the SATA to
USB2.0 converter to enable the drive activity LED.
Factory default, LED signal coming from hard drive.
