• Other than pausing, no operations are possible during the "Erase All Memory" process. If [Random
Numbers] is specified and the number of overwrites set to "3", the erase process will take about two
hours.
• The "Erase All Memory" function also clears the machine's security settings, with the result that
afterward, neither machine nor user administration will be effective. Ensure that users do not save any
data on the machine after "Erase All Memory" has completed.
