Front and Rear Panel Symbols:

The CE mark is a registered trade-mark of the European Community.

The C-Tick mark is a registeredtrademark of the Australian Spectrum Man-agement Agency.

This symbol indicatesproduct compliance

with the Canadian Interference-CausingEquipment Standard (ICES-001). It also iden-tifies the product is an Industrial Scientificand Medical Group 1 Class A product (CISPR11, Clause 4).

This symbol indicates separate col-lection for electrical and electronicequipment, mandated under EU law

as of August 13, 2005. All electric and elec-tronic equipment are required to be sep-arated from normal waste for disposal(Reference WEEE Directive, 2002/96/EC).

This symbol on an instrumentmeans caution, risk of danger. You

should refer to the operating instructionslocated in the user documentation in allcases where the symbol is marked on theinstrument.

This symbol indicates the timeperiod during which no hazardousor toxic substance elements are

expected to leak or deteriorate during nor-mal use. Forty years is the expected usefullife of the product.

This symbol indicates the instru-ment is sensitive to electrostaticdischarge (ESD). ESD can dam-

age the highly sensitive components in yourinstrument. ESD damage is most likely tooccur as the module is being installed orwhen cables are connected or disconnected.Protect the circuits from ESD damage by wea-ring a grounding strap that provides a highresistance path to ground. Alternatively,ground yourself to discharge any built-upstatic charge by touching the outer shell ofany grounded instrument chassis beforetouching the port connectors.

IntroductionThis document describes each of the memory locations or devices contained within the U1091AK12 Embedded Com-pactPCI Processor (PP 512) and any security features that apply to that product. It also provides a statement regardingthe volatility of all memory types, and specifies the steps requires to declassify instrument through memory clearing,sanitization, or removal.For additional information please visit : www.agilent.com/find/security

Terms and Definitions

Clearing

As defined in Section 8-301a of DoD 5220.22-M, “National Industrial Security ProgramOperating Manual (NISPOM)”, clearing is the process of eradicating the data on mediabefore reusing the media so that the data can no longer be retrieved using the standardinterfaces on the instrument. Clearing is typically used when the instrument is toremain in an environment with an acceptable level of protection.

Instrument Declassification

A term that refers to procedures that must be undertaken before an instrument can beremoved from a secure environment, such as is the case when the instrument isreturned for calibration. Declassification procedures include memory sanitization ormemory removal, or both. Agilent declassification procedures are designed to meet therequirements specified in DoD 5220.22-M, “National Industrial Security Program Oper-ating Manual (NISPOM)”, Chapter 8.

Sanitization

As defined in Section 8-301b of DoD 5220.22-M, “National Industrial Security ProgramOperating Manual (NISPOM)”, sanitization is the process of removing or eradicatingstored data so that the data cannot be recovered using any known technology. Instru-ment sanitization is typically required when an instrument is moved from a secure to anon-secure environment, such as when it is returned to the factory for calibration. Agi-lent memory sanitization procedures are designed for customers who need to meet therequirements specified by the US Defense Security Service (DSS). These requirementsare specified in the “Clearing and SanitizationMatrix” in Appendix O of the ODAA Proc-ess Guide for C&A of Classified Systems under NISPOM.

Secure EraseSecure Erase is a term that is used to refer to either the clearing or sanitization featuresof Agilent instruments.

U1091AK12 Non-Volatile Bulk StorageThe U1091AK12 includes an EIDE interface to which a 2.5" bulk storage device (Hard Disk Drive) may be fitted. Inorder to declassify the instrument the bulk storage device must be removed and sanitized or disposed of.The following section details the procedure for removal of this device.

10

Removal Instructions1. Remove the (2) mounting screws securing the SATA adaptor to the main board.2. Remove the (4) mounting screws securing the bulk storage device to the main board.3. Supporting both the bulk storage device (HDD) and the adaptor, unplug the adaptor and HDD from the main

board.4. Disconnect the SATA adaptor from the bulk storage device, and remove the support pillars.5. Return the adaptor, support pillars and screws to their positions on the main board.

11

Sanitization ProcedureThe memory locations summarized belowmay be sanitized by following the steps shown in bold text.

Volatile MemoriesThe volatile memory in the instrument does not retain any information when AC power is removed from the chassis inwhich it is inserted. Therefore no sanitization process is required for the volatile memory locations.

Non-volatile MemoriesAll non-volatile memory locations of the U1091AK12 (PP 512) instrument are either :

o Not accessible by the user or operating system.o Backed up by battery power.

1. Remove the instrument from power sources (chassis).2. Remove the backup battery.

Non-volatile Bulk Storage Devices (HDD)1. Remove the bulk storage device.

The Modu l ar Tang r amThe four-sided geometric symbol that appears in Agilent modularproduct literature is called a tangram. The goal of this seven-piecepuzzle is to create shapes—from simple to complex. As with atangram, the possibilities may seem infinite as you begin to createa new test system. With a set of clearly defined elements—hardware, software—Agilent can help you create the system youneed, from simple to complex.
