Erase existing hard disk data
Before installing the HP Secure Hard Disk, you should securely erase the data from existing EIO or
internal hard disk drives when you complete either of the following procedures:
●
Replace an existing non-encrypted hard disk (either EIO or internal) with an HP Secure Hard Disk.
●
Install an HP Secure Hard Disk in a printer/MFP that contains a secondary (non-encrypted) hard
disk. If the secondary hard disk remains in the printer/MFP, it is deactivated and not accessible.
NOTE: You cannot access a secondary (non-encrypted) hard disk after the HP Secure Hard Disk
is installed. However, if the HP Secure Hard Disk is re-initialized and subsequently removed from
the printer/MFP, the secondary (non-encrypted) hard disk is again accessible.
CAUTION: Verify that you have backed up any data that you need to keep before erasing the
secondary (non-encrypted) hard disk.
See your printer/MFP use guides for information about securely erasing the hard disk. For information
about using the HP embedded Web server
Secure storage erase option, see Secure storage erase
