How do I...?
Set up the device
The setup process is the same for Windows and Mac systems.
1. Plug the IronKey device into your computer's USB port. The "Device Setup" screen appears.
The setup software runs automatically from public volume. This screen may not appear if
your computer does not allow devices to autorun. You can start it manually by:
•
WINDOWS: Double-clicking the "IronKey Unlocker" drive in "My Computer" and
launching "IronKey.exe".
•
MAC: Opening the IronKey Unlocker drive in Finder and opening the IronKey application
in the IronKey Unlocker folder.
2. Select a default language preference, agree to the end-user license agreement, and then click
the "Unlock" button.
By default, IronKey software will use the same language as your computer's operating system.
3. Type a device password and confirm it, and then click the "Continue" button.
Your password is case-sensitive and must have at least 4 characters (including spaces).
4. Select "Reset the device..." if you do not want the device to self-destruct if the wrong pass-
word is entered 10 consecutive times.
On the Device Setup screen, select the file system for the secure volume. Mac and Linux
operating systems do not support an NTFS file system.
5. Click the "Continue" button. The device initializes.
During this process, it generates the AES encryption key, creates the file system for the
secure volume, and copies secure applications and files to the secure volume.
6. When the initialization is complete, the IronKey Control Panel appears. Your device is now
ready to protect your data and can be used on a Windows, Mac or Linux computer.
Unlock and lock the device
UNLOCK DEVICE
The unlock process is the same for Windows and Mac systems. For Linux systems, see "Use my
device on Linux" on page 17.
1. Plug in your device and wait for the Unlocker window to appear.
