Hard Disk Drive Passwords
Your NEC Versa allows you to establish password protection for the internal hard disk
drive. Hard disk drive (HDD) password protection restricts access to the drive, only if
the drive is removed from your NEC Versa and installed in another system. You are not
required to enter your hard disk drive passwords while the drive remains in your
current system.
The HDD passwords are written to the system BIOS and to the hard disk drive to
ensure that the password protection travels with the drive when moved from system to
system.
