How to install Rocsecure EX31

Step 1: Connect the Rocsecure EX31 to your computer using the included USB cable. Ensure the connection is secure and the host PC recognizes the device.

Step 2: If prompted by your operating system, allow any driver or permission requests. On most systems, the drive will mount automatically as a removable storage device once recognized.

Step 3: Initialize or format the drive if necessary to your preferred file system (for Windows, NTFS or exFAT; for macOS, APFS or Mac OS Extended; for Linux, ext4 or exFAT). Note that formatting may erase existing data, so back up any files you need to keep first.

Step 4: Set up the 3XTOKEN KEY authentication. This typically involves pairing the token-based security feature with the Rocsecure unlock utility or on-device prompts. Follow the on-screen instructions to register the tokens and configure automatic locking settings if available.

Step 5: Transfer your files to the Rocsecure EX31. For best results, perform your transfer in a well-ventilated area, monitor the transfer progress, and avoid abrupt removals. When you’re finished, safely eject the drive through your operating system’s safe removal process to preserve encryption integrity and data integrity.

Step 6: If you plan to use the drive across multiple systems or share it with colleagues, ensure each host device has the appropriate unlock method configured and that the 3XTOKEN KEY credentials are securely stored in a protected location separate from the drive.
