Data Encryption/Overwrite Operation Guide
Value
1-time Overwrite Method: The 1-time overwrite method overwrites unneeded
data areas (in the case of overwriting) or all the data areas (in the case of
system initialization) with specific numbers to prevent data restoration.
3-time Overwrite Method (A): The 3-time overwrite method complies with DoD
5220.22-M, and overwrites unneeded data areas (in the case of overwriting) or
all the data areas (in the case of system initialization) with specific numbers,
their complements, and random numbers to prevent data restoration. Data
restoration is not possible even through a sophisticated restoration technique.
NOTE
The 3-time Overwrite Method (A) may take more time than the 1-time Overwrite
Method.
Customize the security password so that only the administrator can use the Data
Encryption/Overwrite.
Enter a new security password 6 to 16 alphanumeric characters and symbols.
Enter the password again for confirmation.
IMPORTANT
Avoid any easy-to-guess numbers for the security password (e.g. 11111111 or
12345678).
Overwrite all the data stored in the hard disk/SSD when disposing of the machine.
IMPORTANT
If you accidentally turn the power switch off during initialization, the hard disk/
SSD might possibly crash or initialization might fail.
NOTE
If you accidentally turn the power switch off during initialization, turn the power switch
on again. Initialization automatically restarts.
