Erase Disk
Erase Disk is a Fujitsu Technology Solutions feature embedded in the system firmware (UEFI:
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), to erase all d ata from SATA hard disk(s) or SSDs.
This function can be used to delete all data from internal or external hard disks or SSDs
connected via the eSATA port, before the hard disks are discarded or the c omplete
computer system is disposed of. The function can also be used if hard disks are to be
completely deleted, e.g. before installing a new operating system.
The application can only be selected and run if an administrator/supervisor
password has been assigned (Menu BIOS Setup - Security).
To erase data from SATA h
ard disks or SSDs, p roceed as follows:
