Canceling Data Encryption
Use the following procedure to cancel the encryption settings when encryption is no longer necessary. Enabling and disabling the encryption settings takes equally long.
The machine cannot be used while data encryption is being cancelled.
After completing this procedure on the machine's control panel, turn off the main power and restart the machine to enable the new settings. Restarting can be slow when the optional hard disk is installed and there is data to be carried over to the hard disk.
Once the canceling of data encryption starts, it cannot be stopped. Make sure that the machine's main power is not turned off while the encryption process is in progress. When the optional hard disk is installed, the hard disk will be damaged and all data on it will be unusable if the machine's main power is turned off during the encryption process.
When disposing of a machine, completely erase the memory. For details about erasing all the memory, see Deleting Data on the Machine.
