4.1 Turning on the V660 HDD EVO
The V660 HDD EVO degausser has been designed for simplicity of operation and erases hard drives in a single operation.
The V660 HDD EVO can be operated locally or remotely via the infrared control.
Because of the different types and manufactures specifications of PC hard disk units, VS Security Products only
recommends the erasure of hard disk units as a security precaution for the following:
a.
Erasure of data from a faulty disk pack before being sent for service/repair.

Erasure of data from disk packs before disposal of computer equipment.
NOTE:
