Tektronix MSO58 Declassification And Security Instructions

Preface
This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove memory devices from their instrument.
This series of instruments contains an open architecture PC with removable mass storage. You can order additional removable mass
storage devices to swap in and out of the instrument as needed for security reasons.
These products have data storage (memory) devices and data export interfaces (USB ports, Ethernet, and eSATA). These instructions
describe how to clear or sanitize the memory devices and disable the data output interfaces. The instructions also describe how to
declassify an instrument that is not functioning.
Reference
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 Systems under NISPOM

Terms
The following terms may be used in this document:
• Clear. This eradicates 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.
• Media. Storage/data export device. A device that is used to store or export data from the instrument, such as a USB port/USB flash
drive.
• Sanitize. This removes the data from media/memory so that the data cannot be recovered using any known technology. This is
typically used when the device will be moved (temporarily or permanently) from a secured area to a nonsecured area.
• Scrub. This is equivalent to sanitize.
• 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.
• User Accessible. User is able to directly retrieve the memory device contents.
• User-Modifiable. The memory device can be written to by the user during normal instrument operation, using the instrument user
interface or remote control.
• Volatile memory. Data is lost when the instrument is powered off.
• Non-user-accessible memory. Data is retained when the instrument is powered off.
• 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 as powering off. For these products, you must remove the power source
from the instrument.
