Hard Drive Security
The NEC PowerMate CT system allows establishing password protection for the internal hard
drive. Hard disk drive (HDD) password protection restricts access to the drive
only
if the drive is
removed from the PowerMate CT system and installed in another system. The system does not
prompt you to enter your HDD passwords while the drive remains in the current system.
The HDD passwords are written to the system BIOS and to the hard drive to ensure that the
password protection travels with the drive if it is moved to another system.
