Modifyingthisproduct or recycling a secondhand productby overhauling it withoutprior
approvalmayresult in personalinjurytousersand/or bystanders ordamagetotheproduct
and/or other property.
Noteon erasingdatafrom harddisks whendisposing oftheproduct ortransferring
itDisposing of this product or transferring it as is may enable third parties to access the data on the hard disk and use
it for unforeseen purposes. To prevent the leakage of confidential information and important data, all of the data
on the hard disk must be erased before disposal or transfer of the product.
However, it can be difficult to completely erase all of the data from the hard disk. Simply initializing (reformatting)
the hard disk or deleting files on the operating system is insufficient to erase the data, even though the data appears
ata glance to havebeen erased.This typeof operationonly makesit impossibleto accessthedatafrom the operating
system. Malicious third parties can restore this data.
If you save your confidential information or other important data on the hard disk, you should completely erase the
data, instead of simply carrying out the aforementioned operation, to prevent the data from being restored.
To prevent important data on the hard disk from being leaked when the product is disposed of or transferred, you
will need to take care to erase all the data recorded on the hard disk on your own responsibility.
Furthermore, if a software license agreement restricts the transfer of the software (operating system and application
software) on the hard disk in the server or other product to a third party, transferring the product without deleting
the software from the hard disk may violate the agreement. Adequate verification from this point of view is also
necessary.
