Hard Drive Security
Your NEC PowerMate 2000 series system allows establishing password
protection for the internal hard drive. Hard disk drive (HDD) password
protection restricts access to the drive only if the drive is removed from
the PowerMate 2000 series system and installed in another system. The
system does not prompt you to enter your HDD passwords while the drive
remains in the current system.
The HDD passwords are written to the system BIOS and to the hard drive
to ensure that the password protection travels with the drive if it is moved
to another system.
