Please refer to the Drive Eraser Configuration Tool and the Blancco Management Console user manuals for more information about this feature. After the erasure, the report can also be fetched.
The screen stays black and an erasure process starts in the background: the drive’s light starts blinking as the drive is being actively erased. In this situation, only the screen is missing, if the user wants to monitor the erasure a workaround consists in monitoring it via the Blancco Management Console. The user will usually face three (3) situations with problematic hardware: You will find below some ways to remediate such issues. "black screen" issues), meaning that the FLR procedure is not properly supported by the machine. Unfortunately, in some hardware configurations the screen might not turn back on leaving the machine in a seemingly inoperable state (a.k.a. Depending on booting option used to boot Blancco Drive Eraser (see the "Booting Options" chapter from the Blancco Drive Eraser user manual) or the configured erasure process ("Manual", "Semi-automatic" or "Automatic", see the "Processes" chapter from the Blancco Drive Eraser user manual), the Freeze lock removal may occur at boot time (before the GUI is displayed) or right after pressing the "Erase" button. The FLR procedure will attempt removing the freeze locks by power cycling the machine: the screen turns black for few seconds before returning. selecting the option "Erase Remapped Sectors" on a drive that has remapped sectors): if your process mandates using one of these erasure standards or erasure options or has to achieve a ‘Purge’ level erasure as defined by NIST *, the success of your erasure process will depend on the outcome of the FLR procedure. "Blancco SSD Erasure", "NIST 800-88 Purge", "Cryptographic Erasure", "BSI-GS/E" or "BSI-2011-VS" to name a few), they are also required with some erasure options (e.g. 
Such firmware commands are used in some erasure standards (e.g. These locks prevent some low level commands (firmware-based erasure commands) from being executed successfully and can cause the erasure to fail.
The Freeze Lock Removal (FLR) is a procedure that Blancco Drive Eraser attempts in order to remove special locks that have become popular on HDD and SSD drives (a.k.a.
