Preface
This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize o r remove
memory devices from the Tektronix RSA306B Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer.
This product has data storage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB
ports). These instructions tell how to clear or sanitize the memory devices and
disable the data output devices. The instructions also tell how to declassify an
instrument that is not functioning.
Reference
The procedures in this document are written to meet the requirements specified in:
NISPOM, DoD 5220.22–M, Chapter 8
ISFO Process Manual for Certification & Accreditation of Classified Systems
under NISPOM
Required d ocuments
No external documents are required to perform the procedures in this document.
Terms that may be used in
this document
The following terms may be used in this document:
Clear. This removes data on media/memory before reusing it in a secured
area. All reusable memory is cleared to deny access to previously stored
information by standard means of access.
Erase. This is equivalent to clear.
Instrument Declassification. A term that refers to procedures that must be
undertaken before an instrument can be removed from a secure environment.
Declassification procedures include memory sanitization and memory
removal, and sometimes both.
Media storage/data export device. Any of several devices that can be used
to store or export data from the instrument, such as a USB port.
Nonvolatile memory. Data is retained when the instrument is powered off.
Power off. Some instruments have a “Standby” mode, in which power is
still supplied to the instrument. For the purpose of clearing data, putting the
instrument in Standby mode does not qualify as powering off. For these
products, you will need to either pressarear-panelOFFswitchorremovethe
power source from the instrument.
Remove. This is a physical means to clear the data by removing the memory
device from the instrument. Instructions are a vailable in the product Service
Manual.
Sanitize. This eradicates the data from media/memory so that the data cannot
be recovered by other means or technology. This is typically used when the
