FAQs

What is FIPS 140-3 Level 3?

FIPS 140-3 is a U.S. government standard for cryptographic modules. Level 3 indicates a high level of security for tamper resistance and identity-based authentication, making the drive suitable for sensitive government data.

Can I use the DL4 FE without SafeConsole?

Yes, the DL4 FE can be used as a standalone device. You can set up password policies and manage access directly on the device via its touchscreen interface.

What operating systems are supported?

The DataLocker DL4 FE is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

How does the Admin password differ from the User password?

The Admin password has elevated privileges, allowing for password policy enforcement, user data recovery, and enabling features like SilentKill. The User password is for regular access to the encrypted data.

What happens if the drive is lost or stolen?

If the drive is lost or stolen, the data remains inaccessible without the correct password due to hardware-level AES 256-bit encryption. If managed by SafeConsole, an administrator can remotely lock or erase the drive.

Is the USB Type-C port also used for charging?

The USB Type-C port is used for data transfer and powering the device. It does not charge an external battery.

What is the warranty period for the DL4 FE?

Please refer to the official DataLocker warranty documentation for the specific warranty period applicable to your purchase. Typically, advanced security devices have a standard warranty period.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by the computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB port or USB Type-C cable. If using USB Type-C, ensure your computer supports USB 3.2 Gen 1. Restart the computer.

Forgot user password

Contact your administrator. The administrator can use their password to unlock the drive and allow the user to reset their password. If used as a standalone device without an admin set up, data recovery may not be possible.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify the drive is connected to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. Check if the drive is connected via SafeConsole with policies that might impact performance. Ensure the drive is not running a full disk scan or malware check simultaneously.

Touchscreen is unresponsive

Gently clean the touchscreen with a soft, dry cloth. Restart the device by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. If the issue persists, contact support.

SilentKill feature activated accidentally

Once SilentKill is activated, the data is permanently destroyed and unrecoverable. Ensure the correct code is entered and understand the implications before activating.
