3.0 Erasing a Hard Drive Using the E2400 (cont.)

NOTE:  It is possible to start drives in batches by highlighting multiple drives at a 
time as shown in the figure above. Simply hold the shift key while choosing drives to
select multiples.

3.5

To begin the erasure process on the selected drive, press the button at the 

bottom of the main user interface screen labeled “Erase Hard Drive”. Figure 3.4 shows 
the location of this button.

3.6

After pressing the “Erase Hard Drive” button, a pop-up window will appear that

allows you to choose the level of overwrite you would like to execute on the selected 
drive. Figure 3.5 shows this pop-up window. 

NOTE: Choices of overwrite level is a configurable option on many Tabernus 
products, so the screen displayed on your unit may not match the one shown in the 
figure below.
