EEPROM
Each board assembly in the R&S FSUP Signal Source Analyzer has one serial
EEPROM device with a size of 256 bytes up to 32 kbyte. The EEPROM contains infor-
mation related to the installed hardware, such as board serial number, product options
and calibration correction data. The EEPROM does not hold user data nor can the user
access the EEPROM storage.
Sanitization procedure: None required (no user data)
Flash
The CPU board of the R&S FSUP Signal Source Analyzer has one 512 kbyte flash
memory device. It contains the BIOS. The flash memory does not hold user data nor
can the user access the flash memory.
Sanitization procedure: None required (no user data)
Compact flash memory / hard disk
The R&S FSUP Signal Source Analyzer can be equipped with either a non-removable
hard disk or a removable compact flash memory. The hard disk and compact flash
memory hold user data and are non-volatile. Hence, user data is not erased when
power is removed from the instrument.
The compact flash memory (R&S FSUP-B18) can be removed from the Signal Source
Analyzer to make sure that no user data is stored within the Signal Source Analyzer.
The R&S FSUP Signal Source Analyzer, equipped with the removable compact flash
memory (R&S FSUP-B18), addresses the needs of customers working in secured
areas.
Sanitization procedure: Remove compact flash memory from instrument
5 Instrument Declassification
Before you can remove the Signal Source Analyzer from a secured area (for example
to perform service or calibration), all classified user data needs to be removed. You
can declassify the Signal Source Analyzer as follows:
1. Turn off the Signal Source Analyzer. This will sanitize the volatile memory.
2. Remove the classified compact flash memory (containing user data).
Following these steps removes all user data from the Signal Source Analyzer. The Sig-
nal Source Analyzer can now leave the secured area.
These declassification procedures meet the needs of customers working in secured
areas.
