12. How to create a Self-Destruct PIN
The self-destruct feature allows you to set a PIN which can be used to perform a crypto-erase on the entire drive.
When used, the self-destruct PIN will delete ALL data, Admin/User PINs and then unlock the drive. Activating this
feature will cause the Self-Destruct PIN to become the new User PIN and the diskAshur PRO
2
will need to be partitioned
and formatted before any new data can be added to the drive.
To set the Self-Destruct PIN, first enter the “Admin Mode” as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode
(solid BLUE LED) proceed with the following steps.
1. In Admin mode, press and hold down
“UNLOCK + 6” buttons

and solid

“UNLOCK” button
Blinking GREEN and solid BLUE LEDs will
switch to a single
GREEN LED blink and then
back to blinking
GREEN and solid BLUE LEDs
3. Re-enter the PIN and press the “UNLOCK” button
GREEN LED will rapidly blink for several
seconds and then changes to a solid BLUE LED
to indicate the Self-Destruct PIN has been
successfully configured
