Erasing the Data Partition
The Update utility also has an option to erase the data partition, according to
DoD 5220.22-M standard. This utility provides the same sanitizing feature as
what is provided by the "Sanitizing" option under the MENU key.

Uninterrupted Power
From this point onwards, ensure that power to the R&S
EB510 is not inter-
rupted. Failing to do so might result in a non-functional front panel.
The updater will then check if the FPC2 firmware (for the frontpanel key controller)
needs to be updated. FPC2 firmware will only be updated when the version on the
USB flash drive is newer than the version currently installed.
FPC2 Update
Do not interrupt the updating of the FPC2 firmware (e.g. removing the USB
flash drive or resetting the R&S
EB510). Keys on the front-panel might
become unusable if the updating process were interrupted.
Should the keys on front panel become unusable (not responsive), an external
keyboard (and a USB hub) would be needed to redo the FPC2 update.
Finally the actual update of the receiver firmware and the GUI software can start.
The update process can cater for more than one image. If the update was installed
on a USB flash drive that was previously used for updates, the menu below will
