Result: All data that was still contained in the data memories of the modules and the SIMATIC
Memory Card has been deleted. You can now dispose of the components.
If you no longer plan to use the SIMATIC Memory Card after formatting it, destroy it before
disposing of it.
A secure destruction method is to shred the card to such a degree that it cannot be
reconstructed. For this, you can also use a waste disposal serv
ice that specializes in data
storage medium destruction.
