Setup Requirements
Lyve Mobile security
Lyve Mobile offers two ways for project admins to manage how end users
securely access Lyve Mobile storage devices:
Lyve Portal Identity—End users authorize client computers to access Lyve
Mobile devices using their Lyve Management Portal credentials. Requires an
internet connection for initial setup and periodic reauthorization through
Lyve Management Portal.
Lyve Token Security—End users are provided with Lyve Token files that can be
installed on certified client computers and Lyve Mobile Padlock devices. Once
configured, computers/Padlock devices unlocking Lyve Mobile devices do not
require continual access to Lyve Management Portal or the internet.
** For details on setting up security, go to www.seagate.com/lyve-
security.
Download Lyve Client
To unlock and access Lyve devices connected to your computer, you must enter
your username and password in the Lyve Client app. You can also use it to
manage Lyve projects and data operations. Install Lyve Client on any computer
intended to connect to Lyve Mobile Array. Download the Lyve Client installer
for Windows or macOS at www.seagate.com/support/lyve-
client
Authorize host computers**
An internet connection is required when authorizing a host computer.
- Open Lyve Client on a computer intended to host Lyve Mobile Array.
- When prompted, enter your Lyve Management Portal username and password.
Lyve Client authorizes the host computer to unlock and access Lyve devices and
manage projects on the Lyve Management Portal.
The host computer remains authorized for up to 30 days, during which you can
unlock and access connected devices even without an internet connection. After
30 days, you’ll need to open Lyve Client on the computer and re-enter your
credentials.
Lyve Mobile Array locks when powered off, ejected or unplugged from the host
computer, or if the host computer goes to sleep. Use Lyve Client to unlock
Lyve Mobile Array when it is reconnected to the host or the host has awakened
from sleep. Note that Lyve Client must be open and the user must be signed in
to use Lyve Mobile Array.
Connecon Opons

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connections using the Lyve Rackmount Receiver. For
details, see the Lyve Rackmount Receiver user
manual.
| For high-speed mobile data transfers, connect Lyve Mobile Array using the
Lyve Mobile PCIe Adapter. See the Lyve Mobile Mount and PCIe Adapter user
manual or Lyve Mobile Mount and PCIe
Adapter Front
Loader user manual.
Direct-A ached Storage (DAS) Connecons
Connect power
Connect the included power supply in the following order:
A. Connect the power supply to Lyve Mobile Array’s power input.
B. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
C. Connect the power cord to a live power outlet.
Use only the power supply provided with your device. Power supplies from other
Seagate and third-party devices can damage Lyve Mobile Array.
Connect to host computer
Lyve Mobile Array is shipped with three types of cables to connect to host
computers. Review the following table for cable and host port options.
Cables | Host port |
---|---|
Thunderbolt 3 | Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4 |
USB-C to USBC | USB 3.1 Gen 1 or higher |
USB-C to USBA | USB 3.0 or higher |
Connect Lyve Mobile Array to a computer in the following order:
A. Connect the Thunderbolt 3 cable to Lyve Mobile Array’s Thunderbolt 3 host
port located on the left side of the back panel.
B. Connect the other end to an appropriate port on the host computer.
Windows Prompt: Approve Thunderbolt Device
When you first connect Lyve Mobile Array to a Windows PC that supports
Thunderbolt 3, you may see a prompt requesting to authenticate the recently
connected device. Follow the onscreen prompts to approve the Thunderbolt
connection to Lyve Mobile Array. For more details on Thunderbolt connectivity
to your Windows PC, see the following knowledge base
article.
If you are using a USB host and the Lyve Mobile Array status LED is
illuminated with an amber chase pattern, make sure the cable is connected to
Lyve Mobile Array’s Thunderbolt 3/USB-C host port. The host port is the USB-C
port with the computer icon. An amber chase pattern indicates that the
computer is connected to the peripheral port.
Unlock the device
The LED on the device blinks white during the boot process and turns solid
orange. The solid orange LED color indicates the device is ready to be
unlocked.
Once the device has been unlocked by a valid Lyve Portal Identity or Lyve
Token file, the LED on the device turns solid green. The device is unlocked
and ready for use.
Power buon
Power on—A direct connection to a computer is not required to power on Lyve
Mobile Array. It automatically powers on when connected to a power outlet.
Power off—Before powering off Lyve Mobile Array, make certain to safely eject
its volumes from the host computer. Apply a long press (3 seconds) to the
power button to turn off Lyve Mobile Array.
If Lyve Mobile Array is off but still connected to power, you can turn Lyve
Mobile Array back on by applying a short press (1 second) to the power button.
Cycle power when switching connecon types
Switching from one DAS connection type (Thunderbolt, USB, or PCIe Adapter) to
another can result in missing volumes. Windows users can also experience a
blue screen error.
To avoid these issues, use the following procedure when changing connection
types:
- Safely eject the volume.
- Power off Lyve Mobile Array.
- Change the connection as needed.
- Power on Lyve Mobile Array.
Lyve Rackmount Receiver Connecons
For details on configuring Seagate Lyve Rackmount Receiver for use with Lyve
Mobile Array and other compatible devices, see the Lyve Rackmount Receiver

Connect Ethernet port
Lyve Client communicates with devices inserted in Lyve Rackmount Receiver via
the Ethernet management ports. Ensure that the Ethernet management ports are
connected to the same network as the host devices running Lyve Client. If no
device is inserted in a slot, there’s no need to connect its corresponding
Ethernet management port to the network.
Connect Lyve Mobile Array
Insert Lyve Mobile Array into slot A or B on Rackmount Receiver.
Slide device in until it’s fully inserted and firmly connected to Rackmount
Receiver’s data and power.
Close latches.
