Notice
About data on the hard disk
Be sure to take appropriate measures not to leak important data (e.g., customers' information or
companies' management information) on the removed hard disk to any third parties.
Data seems to be erased when you empty "Recycle Bin" of Windows or execute the "format"
command of the operating system. However, the actual data remains written on the hard disk. Data
not erased completely may be restored by special software and used for unexpected purposes.
It is strongly recommended that the software or service (both available at stores) for data erasure
should be used in order to avoid the trouble explained above. For details on data erasure, ask your
sales representative.
NEC assumes no liability for data leakage if the product is transferred to third party without erasing

Notice
It is the user's responsibility to completely erase or modify all the data stored in storage device such
