These products have data st 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 Tektronix products are covered by this document:

RSA6106A

RSA6120A

The following terms may be used in this document:

is document are written to meet the requirements speciﬁed in:

s with data security concerns to sanitize or remove memory devices from the RSA6100A

orage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB ports). These instructions explain

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.

RSA6100A Series Declassiﬁcation and Security Instructions iii

Preface

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.

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 a s powering off. For these products, you must either press a rear-panel OFF switch or remove the 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 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 Accessible. User is able to directly retrieve the memory device contents.

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.

Nonvolatile memory. Data is retained when the instrument is powered off.

User settings – Describes the type of information stored in the device. Refers to instrument settings that can be changedbytheuser.

Both – Describes the type of information stored in the device. It means that both user data and user settings are stored in the device.

None – Describes the type of information stored in the device. It means that neither user data nor user settings are stored in the device.

Directly – Describes how data is modiﬁed. It means that the user can modify the data.

Indirectly – Describes how data is modiﬁed. It mea

ns that the instrument system resources modify the data and that

the user cannot modify the data.

e Removal

Procedure

If your organization’s security protocols allow the use of software to purge or sanitize hard drives, you can use commercial software to erase free space on the hard drive before sending the instrument out for upgrades or repair. Follow the instructions that come with the software to ensure that the erasure of sensitive data from the hard drive complies with your organization’s security protocols.

Sequence for clearing secure data from a hard drive:

1. Delete all stored signals and instrument settings ﬁles (all ﬁles stored w ith a tiq, csv,orSetup extension).

2. Acquire several full memory-length acquisitions of noise (no signal attached to the input).

Without Option 02, acquire a full-length acquisition 16 times.

With Option 02, acq

3. Close the RSA6100A applications and erase the free space on the hard disk using commercial software.

The following procedure applies to instruments that have Option 07 (DVD-RW drive) installed. If your instrument has a DVD drive, it has a ﬁxed hard drive. This procedure is an overview of the removal process. For detailed removal and replacement procedures, see the RSA6100A Series Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers Service Manual, Tektronix part number 07

WARNING. Only qualiﬁed service personnel should perform this procedure. Read the Service Safety Summary and the

General Safety Summary in the RSA6100A Series Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers Service Manual (Tektronix part number 077-0250-XX) before performing this procedure.
