Figure 1 Process of using disk-based DES

**Table 1** Description for the process of using disk-based DES
Procedure	Description
Logging in to DES Console	Register a HUAWEI ID and log in to DES Console.
Creating a bucket	Data is stored in OBS buckets. You must create a bucket on OBS before using DES.
Creating a DES order	You are advised to select a Huawei DC nearby and create a disk-based order.
Copying data	Copy data from the local computer to the disk.
Downloading the signature file	The signature file is the unique identifier for your disk in the order, so you need to place the file in the root directory of the disk.
Sending the disk to your selected Huawei DC	The disk must contain the signature file in its root directory.
Entering the access keys (AK/SK)	After receiving the disk, the administrator mounts the disk to a server. Then, you will receive an SMS message sent by Huawei, which notifies you of uploading the AK and SK to start data uploading.
Viewing the data transmission result	After data transmission is complete, you can download the generated data transmission report to check whether all data is successfully uploaded.
Receiving the mailed-back disk	After your confirmation, you will receive the disk mailed back by the administrator.
