4.2. From the PC Running Configuration Software

Method

If SGConfig have been used to configure the iBox processor, configuration data

resides on the data storage media (e.g., hard drives, memory cards, etc.) of the PC

running SGConfig.
The iBox configuration data can be removed from the PC by either:

•

Recommended: Physically removing and destroying the data storage media,

•

Using a program to securely wipe (i.e., completely erase) the data storage

media; that is, not just reformat or remove the names of the files from the file

allocation table.
