Use the following steps to congure this option:
1. To automatically enable encryption when an HP Secure Hard Disk is installed, select Automatic. This is the
default and recommended mode.
2. If you need to manually specify a drive password or want to start encrypting at a later time, select Manual
and then use the EWS page to individually enable encryption of each device.
Secure Disk Password
Use this option to congure a password for all of the secure disks installed on the device. This password provides
access to the encrypted data on the secure disks. This password locks all of the secure disks, but does not
encrypt the data on the disks. The device automatically generates a separate encryption key for each disk to
encrypt the data.
If you change the password, no data on the secure disks is lost. If you remove the secure disk from the device,
access to the encryption key is lost and the data on the secure disk cannot be decrypted.
NOTE: The password can be cleared only through the BIOS on the device. Clearing the password renders the
data on the device unusable and makes the secure disk appear as a new disk.
Automatically generate a random password
1. Select the Generate a new random password (Recommended) option.
2. For HP FutureSmart devices, turn o the device, and then turn on the device. Other devices automatically
turn o, and then turn on.
Manually assign a password
1. Select the Manually set a new drive password option.
2. In the Password and Conrm Password boxes, enter the password. The password must be between 8 and
32 characters long.
3. For HP FutureSmart devices, turn o the device, and then turn on the device. Other devices automatically
turn o, and then turn on.
Service Access Code
A unique service personal identication number (PIN) is assigned to each HP product model. During the
manufacturing process, the same service PIN is written to every device for a specic product model. The factory-
default service PIN cannot be changed.
The factory-default service PIN is required to gain access to the Service menu at the device control panel. The
factory-default service PIN for the various HP product models is public information. Anyone who can nd the
factory-default service PIN for the product model can sign in at the device control panel and access all of the
troubleshooting tools and conguration settings that are available from the Service menu.
Use this option to congure a service access code on the device. This service access code provides additional
security for the Service menu. The factory-default service PIN can no longer be used to gain access to the Service
menu. However, the factory-default service PIN can be restored at any time.
