4 INSTALLATION AND SET-UP The SEM Model 0101 must be installed according to Customer s incoming power. 110 volt Versions are equipped with a 15 Amp (3) three prong plug on the power cord. 220 volt Versions are equipped with a 10 Amp (2) two prong European plug on the power cord. Note: 220 volt plugs may vary depending on location. Important Note: Both 110 and 220 volt versions must be plugged into a grounded electrical line service. STEP 1: After removal of the packaging, place the system on a strong and sturdy surface. (Please note: ALL packaging should be retained by customer for (30) days from the time of receipt. In the event that this unit needs to be returned for replacement or repair, this packaging will be required to do so. Should the packaging have been discarded before the (30) day requested period, packaging costs will be incurred by the customer). STEP 2: Be certain that all paperwork and any loose items that may have been shipped with the system have been removed from the packaging as well. STEP 3: To avoid Hydraulic Fluid from leaking during shipment, the system is shipped with a RED Shipping Plug. Prior to operation, this plug must be replaced with the BLACK Breather Plug (See plug pictures below). DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM WITH THE RED SHIPPING PLUG IN THE RESERVOIR! RED Shipping Plug BLACK Breather Plug How to replace the Reservoir RED Shipping Plug: Access to reservoir plug is from the back side of the system cabinet. With the system still unplugged remove the six (6) Phillips Head screws slide panel next to the system. Caution: The Power Cord is connected to the Back Panel. DO NOT pull too hard on the panel when removing. Simply lean the panel on the side of the crusher (See picture below). 4

6 HDD OPERATION 1. To begin crushing, open the front access door and place the hard drive into the crushing chamber. Close the access door and press RUN. NOTE: the unit will not function if the access door is open. Note: There are two channels inside the crushing chamber to properly align the hard drives inside the chamber. Proper use of these channels will insure that the anvil is positioned for maximum effectiveness by piercing /bending the data holding platters of the hard drive and not just pushing the center drive hub.

The button will illuminate green. The motor will activate and the piston will descend to pierce the hard drive in the crushing chamber.

7 HDD - OPERATION Continued Note: The Destruction Chamber Depth is extended to allow hard drives with most caddies typically used in rack mount or server systems to be crushed without having to remove them from the caddy. However, be sure to align all hard drive platters with the anvil before crushing. Typical Drive Mounted in Caddy 2. With the access door closed, press the button marked RUN. The button will illuminate green. The motor will activate and the piston will descend to pierce the hard drive in the crushing chamber. When the piston has reached the end of the down stroke, it will start its upward movement. Upon completion of the cycle, the green light will extinguish and the motor will deactivate. You can now remove the hard drive from the chamber. 3. In the case of an emergency and you need to stop the unit, push the button labeled STOP. A red light will then illuminate and the piston will return to the Start position. When the piston is in the Start position, the red light will extinguish and the motor will deactivate. Note: If the access door is opened during the crushing cycle, the piston will stop moving. When the access door is reclosed, the operator will need to press the RUN or STOP button to restart the crushing cycle. Warning: The debris that falls into the Collection Draw must be removed to ensure proper performance of the system. SEM recommends that the draw be emptied after the crushing of each hard drive or as needed. If the Draw does not get emptied, it could cause the hydraulic cylinder to fail and will void the warranty. 7

8 MANUAL OVERRIDE OPERATION As the automated crushing operation for the SSD anvil requires it to perform a complete cycle before stopping, a manual override method is acceptable for crushing SSD material in order to save the time wasted by allowing the anvil to return to its resting position. 1. Insert material as shown above. 2. Press the green RUN push button and allow anvil to perform a normal operation. 3. After hearing the click, wait for the anvil to provide enough space to fit another piece, approximately ½, and push the red STOP pushbutton, noting that the anvil will move downward a little bit after hitting stop. 4. Open the door and remove the destroyed media. Note: Gloves are recommended for this operation as the anvil has many sharp tines and the crushed material may also be sharp. 5. Put another piece in the crushing chamber and close the door. 6. Push the green RUN pushbutton, and repeat. Note: If the access door is opened during the crushing cycle, the piston will stop moving. When the access door is reclosed, the operator will need to press the RUN or STOP button to restart the crushing cycle. Warning: After each cycle the processed SSD media must be removed from the chamber. Sometimes the media will stick to the anvil. Use a small regular screwdriver to separate the media from the anvil. Stacking pieces of media for destruction, or failure to remove media after processing can damage the machine and will void the warranty. OVERLOADING Should too much material be fed into the system, the high-pressure switch will engage and send the piston back to the start position. Note: if this happens, the system would have not made a full cycle. As such, the hard drive may need to be sent through again. This may happen when crushing the 1.85 inch hard drive. You may want to remove and rotate the drive by 180 and send it thru for another cycle. 9
