Enable Encryption Setting

The data saved on the HDD, such as Address Book, authentication information, saved
documents, can be encrypted to prevent data leakage in case the HDD is removed from the
machine.
Once encryption is enabled, all data subsequently stored on the machine will be encrypted.
The encryption algorithm used in the machine is AES-256.
Setting Up Encryption
This function is only available for the standard hard disk. If your machine is equipped
•
with the Enhanced Security HDD Option, data on the hard disk is always encrypted.
Therefore, this function can only encrypt the machine's NVRAM data.
The machine cannot be operated while encrypting data, updating the encryption key,
•
or canceling encryption.
The encryption process takes several hours. Once the encryption process starts, it
•
cannot be stopped.
When setting up encryption, specify whether to start encryption after deleting data (initialize) or
encrypt and retain existing data. If data is retained, it may take some time to encrypt it.
