Preface
This document helps users with data security concerns to sanitize or remove
memory devices from the AWG5000C and AWG7000C Series Arbitrary
Waveform Gen
These products have data storage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB
ports). These instructions explain how to clear or sanitize the memory devices and
disable the data output devices. The instructions also describe how to declassify
an instrument that is not functioning.

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.
Media storage/data export device. Any of several devices that are 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 must either press a rear-panel OFF switch or remove the power
source from the instrument.

Preface
Remove. This is
device from the instrument. Instructions are available 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
device will be moved (temporarily or permanently) from a secured area to a
non-secured area.
Scrub. This is equivalent to sanitize.
User-modifiable. The user can write to the memory device during normal
instrument operation, using the instrument interface or remote control.
Volatile memory. Data is lost when the instrument is powered off.

programs. This procedure disables both USB and the CD-RW to prevent their use.
NOTE. If you disable the USB, CD-RW, and LAN in the following procedures,
you cannot write new firmware to the hard drive. To do so, you must enable one
of these items.
To disable USB and CD-RW for Windows using the Windows Device Manager:
1. Connect a PS2 mouse and a PS2 keyboard to the instrument before powering
on (because USB will be disabled).
2. Log on to the instrument as an administrator.
3. From the Windows Start menu, select Control Panel, and then select System.
4. Select the Hardware tab.

CD-ROMs in your instrument Quick Start User manual.
To remove the hard drive. The following procedure describes how to remove
the disk drive.
1. Make sure that the main unit power is OFF.
2. Locate the hard disk drive on the rear of the instrument.
3. Loosenthetwothumbscrewsonbothsides of the main unit and carefully pull
out the disk drive. Note the orientation of the assembly as you remove it.
WAR N ING. Static electricity can damage the hard disk drive. To avoid damaging
the hard disk drive with static electricity, store the removed disk drive in a secure,
static-free location.
After the hard drive has been scrubbed, the operating system and instrument
software can be reinstalled.
ble data is stored on the removable hard drive. Scrub the hard drive
PC RAM Size
Scrubbing the hard drive will not affect calibration o f the instrument, since the
factory calibration constants are stored on the MIO board, entirely separate from
waveform data or setup files. You can completely erase or remove any secure
any
data without affecting the calibration of the instrument. You can also calibrate
the instrument i n a nonsecure site, and then use the instrument in a secure area
without recalibration.
To reinstall the hard drive. The following procedure describes how to reinstall
he disk drive.

1. Make sure that the main unit power is OFF.
2. Orient the hard disk drive in the instrument and push it into place until the
data and power connections are firmly engaged.
3. Tighten the two thumb screws to sec ure the assembly to the instrument.
To check the size of the PC RAM in the instrument, refer to the General t ab of the
