Preface
This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove memory devices from the RSA5100B
Series Real-Time Signal Analyzers.
These products have data storage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB ports). These instructions tell how to
clear or sanitize the memory devices and disable the data output devices. The instructions also tell how to declassify an
instrument that is not functioning.
