Page: 7 / 54

1 Introduction
HP Secure Hard Disks provide hardware-based encryption to secure sensitive print, scan, and copy
data-at-rest on single and multiple function printing devices. HP Secure Hard Disks use the advanced
encryption standard (AES), and are equipped with versatile time saving features and robust functionality.
The HP Secure Hard Disk includes the following features:
●
Easy to install and configure.
●
Managed with the HP embedded Web server or HP Web Jetadmin.
●
Employs hardware based full-disk encryption for security and performance.
●
Uses an automated randomly generated key or a key that you manually specify.
● Locked to the printer/MFP in which it is installed.
CAUTION: Once the HP Secure Hard Disk is locked to the printer/MFP, the stored data is unreadable
if removed from the printer/MFP. Secondary hard disks (EIO or internal) that are installed in the
printer/MFP are automatically disabled after the HP Secure Hard Disk is installed.
Installing the HP Secure Hard Disk typically involves the following procedures:
● Backup any data that you need to save from the standard (non-encrypted) hard disks.
●
Securely erase the standard (non-encrypted) hard disks.
● Install the HP Secure Hard Disk.
●
Restore data and reinstall any third-party applications.
