-Hard-Disk-Lockn
When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the hard disk when the
hard disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is also set for the hard disk. When the hard disk
is returned to the original computer, you can read/write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings
in the Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed. (Note that this Hard Disk
Lock does not guarantee the complete protection of data.) “Security Measures”)
