INITIALIZING YOUR IRONKEY ON A MAC

If you prefer to use a Mac, you can choose to initialize your IronKey on a Mac OS X computer:

Step Description

1 Plug the IronKey into your

computer’s USB port.

Your IronKey will run on Mac OS X (10.4 or 10.5),

PowerPC or Intel computers. It can also be setup and

used on Windows and Linux.

To use the full speed of the IronKey, plug it into a USB

2.0 port.

2 Launch the IronKey Unlocker.

The “Initialize Your IronKey”

screen will appear.

The IronKey has a virtual CD-ROM.

You must start the IronKey Unlocker manually by going

to “IronKey:Mac:IronKey Unlocker” and double-click-

ing on the IronKey icon.

3 Create your device password and

a nickname for your IronKey.

Your password is case-sensitive and must be 4 or more

characters long. The threat of brute-force password

attacks is removed by IronKey’s self-destruct feature.

4 Agree to the License Agreement A screen with IronKey’s End-User License Agreement

will appear. This can also be found online at:

5 The IronKey will initialize. During this process, it will generate the AES encryption

key, and create the le system for the secure volume.

This process may take a minute.

Your IronKey is now ready for use.
