Hard Disk removal: Because it is virtually impossible to completely and selectively erase all user data on a hard drive without
also destroying the operating system, the best method for maintaining security when the ENA must be removed from a secure
area is to replace the hard drive with a "non-secure" hard drive, i.e. a drive that has never had any sensitive data placed on it. This
allows the ENA to still function properly in non-secured areas or for use when servicing.
E5071C-017 has an easily accessible hard drive on the front panel. Agilent has available a relatively inexpensive, pre-configured
hard drive for the ENA that must be purchased in order for this security method to work. An spare disk is available as E5071CU-
018.
For Option 019 User:
Before taking the following steps, Option 019 user must be applied the E5071CU-017 (UPGADE TO REMOVABLE HARD
DISK DRIVE).
Hard disk removal: Step-by-step procedure
these steps should be followed to maintain security:
1. Purchase the Hard Disk Drive Kit (E5071CU Option 018). A new hard disk is not included in this option and an
original disk is reused. Order E5071CU-018 if spare disk is necessary.
2. Clearly mark this hard drive as "Unsecured!". In the event the secure ENA needs to be used elsewhere, or, if it needs
servicing:
3. Copy the files with .lic extension into your USB memory (or network shared directory). The files have option
information.
