HP High-Performance Secure Hard Disks
This product supports an encrypted hard disk that might be installed in the EIO slot, on the formatter
board, or in both locations. The only encrypted hard disk that is supported is the disk that comes
bundled with the product. Encrypted hard disks provide hardware-based encryption so you can
securely store sensitive scan data without impacting product performance. Encrypted hard disks use
the latest Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and have versatile time-saving features and robust
functionality.
Manage certificates
The product has a built-in self-signed certificate, which allows for encryption and a reasonable level of
trust for network communications with entities such as the LDAP server (communication that can
include user names and passwords). However, some networks require trusted certificates. In these
cases, you might be required to install a certificate from the network certificate authority.
The certificate manager also allows you to load certificate revocation lists (CRL).
