When you first plug in the Aegis Fortress, the unit 

will do a self-test to verify all security components 

are working properly. The LEDs will go through 3 

test stages: 

RED

GREEN

, and 

BLUE

. This will 

be followed by three 

GREEN

 blinks indicating all 

components are functioning properly. A test failure 

will leave the unit in an inoperable state indicated 

by a blinking 

RED

 LED.

First Time Use

Before the Fortress can be used, the Admin PIN MUST be set. The LEDs will glow Solid 

BLUE

 and Solid 

GREEN

 to indicate the Fortress is waiting for an Admin PIN to be set.

To Set-up the Admin PIN:
1.  Press 

 + 9

 simultaneously. The LEDs will be Constant 

BLUE 

/ Blinking 

GREEN

.

2.  Enter the new Admin PIN and press the   key. If accepted, the 

BLUE 

LED will turn 

off, the 

GREEN 

LED will blink three times, and then will return to Solid 

BLUE

 and 

Blinking 

GREEN

.

3.  Re-enter that Admin PIN and press the   key again. If accepted, the 

GREEN

 LED will 

glow solidly for three seconds.

4.  The 

BLUE

 LED will glow solidly indicating the drive is in Admin mode and will remain 

that way for 30 seconds or until the   key is pressed, either of which will return the 

drive to its standby (locked) state.

5.  The Admin PIN is now set and will allow access to the drive or the Admin features.
6.  To access the drive’s data using the Admin PIN, press the   button, then enter the 

new Admin PIN and press  .  

Note:

PINs must be a minimum length of 7 maximum 16 digits.

Cannot contain all consecutive numbers (2345678 or 9876543)

Cannot contain all same number (1111111)

The 

SHIFT

 key can be used for additional combinations.

SHIFT 

+ 1 are a separate value than just 1.

NOTE: if you are using the Aegis Configurator (sold separately) to set up 

your Aegis Fortress, First ensure that the device to be configured has the 

“configurable” logo on the belly label. Also, DO NOT perform the following Manual 

Admin and USER PIN SETUP steps below; The Aegis Configurator will only recognize 

devices in their factory “out of box” state or devices that have been completely reset.
