Recommendations
To ensure there is ample power provided to the D500S device, insert it directly into a USB port on your notebook or
desktop, as seen in Figure 1.1. Avoid connecting the D500S to any peripheral device(s) that may feature a USB port,
such as a keyboard or USB-powered hub, as seen in Figure 1.2.
Figure 1.1- Recommended Usage
Using the correct file system
The IronKey D500S comes preformatted with the FAT32 file system. It will work on Windows, macOS and Linux*
systems. However, there could be some other options that could be used to format the drive with manually, such as
NTFS for Windows and exFAT. You can reformat the data partition if needed but data is lost when the drive is
reformatted.
Usage reminders
To keep your data safe, Kingston recommends that you:
•
Perform a virus scan on your computer before setting up and using the D500S on a target system
•
When using the drive on a public, or unfamiliar system, you may wish to set the Read-Only mode on the device
to help protect the drive from malware
•
Lock the device when not in use
•
Eject the drive before unplugging it
•
Never unplug the device when the LED is lit. This may damage the drive and require a reformat, which will erase
your data
•
Never share your device password with anyone
Find the latest updates and information
Go to kingston.com/support for the latest drive updates, FAQs, documentation, and additional information.
NOTE: Only the latest drive updates (when available) should be applied to the drive. Downgrading the drive to an
older software version is not supported and can potentially cause a loss of stored data or impair other drive
functionality. Please contact Kingston Technical Support if you have questions or issues.
* The D500S does not support out-of-box initialization on Linux and will need to be fully initialized and configured on
a supported Windows or macOS system before the drive can be used on Linux. Additional information can be found
in the Linux section of this user guide on page 37
