The Enhanced Security SSD Option attached to the machine protects the Solid State Drive
(SSD) from tampering.
The self-encrypting function equipped with the Enhanced Security SSD Option encrypts all
data stored in the machine. Also, the Enhanced Security SSD Option can authenticate the
equipment connected to the SSD based on the Authentication Code. This function prevents
the SSD data from being decrypted as long as the SSD authentication code is not known
even if the SSD were to be removed and connected to an analyzer.
Changing the SSD Authentication Code
Encrypting Data on the Internal Storage
Keep SD cards and USB flash memory devices out of reach of children. If a child
accidentally swallows an SD card or USB flash memory device, consult a doctor
immediately.
You can encrypt data contained in the Address Book, authentication information, and stored
documents to prevent data leaks in case the internal storage 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.
This function is only available for the standard SSD. If your machine is equipped with the
Enhanced Security SSD Option, data on the internal storage 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.
Do not turn off the power of the machine while encrypting data, updating the encryption
key, or canceling encryption. If you turn off the power, the internal storage may be
damaged and all data may be unusable.
If the encryption key update was not completed, the created encryption key will not be
valid.
After completing this procedure on the machine's control panel, turn off the main power
and restart the machine to enable the new settings by turning it back on. Restarting can
be slow when there is data to be carried over to the internal storage.
The encryption process takes several hours. Once the encryption process starts, it
cannot be stopped.
The encryption key is required for data recovery or migration to another machine. Be
sure to keep the encryption key secure by printing it on a sheet or storing it in a USB
flash memory device.
To transfer data from the machine to another machine, you must decrypt the encrypted
data. Contact your service representative for data migration.
