Preface

This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove
memory devices from the RSA6100B Series or RSA5100A Series Real-Time
Signal Analy

These products have 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.

Terms

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 Syste ms
under NISPOM

The following Tektronix products are covered by this document:

RSA5103A

RSA5106A

RSA5115A

RSA5126A

RSA6106B

RSA6114B

RSA6120B

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 Declassifi cation. A term that refers to procedures that must

be undertaken before an instrument is 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.

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

products, you will need to either press a rear-panel OFF switch o r remove the
power source from the instrument.

Remove. Thisisaphysicalmeanstoclearthedatabyremovingthememory
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 o r 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.

tandby mode does not qualify as powering off. For these
