Your diskAshur

2

 undergoes a rapid self-test to verify all security components are working properly each time you 

plug into a powered USB port. The LEDs will go through 3 test stages, blinking in sequence 

RED

GREEN 

and 

BLUE

, followed by two 

GREEN 

blinks and then to 

RED 

(Standby State) on a successful test. Any test failure will 

force the diskAshur

2

 to securely reset itself and automatically resume the self-test without affecting the security 

characteristics or any data stored on the drive.
