Important NEC assumes no liability for data leakage. Data seems to be erased when you empty "Recycle Bin" of Windows or run the "format" command of the operating system. However, the actual data remains on the hard disk drive. Data not erased completely might be restored by special software and used for unexpected purposes.
Some components including fans, batteries, and the optical disk drive work for a limited period of time and require replacement. For stable operation of the server, NEC recommends you regularly replace these components. Contact your sales representative for information on replacement or the lifetime of components.
