Decommissioning or Zeroization
It is a best practice to purge data before disposing of any device containing data. Guidelines for decommissioning are
provided in NIST SP 800-88. Eaton recommends that products containing embedded flash memory be securely destroyed
to ensure data is unrecoverable.

Embedded Flash Memory on Boards and Devices
Eaton recommends the following methods for disposing of motherboards, peripheral cards such as network adapters, or
any other adapter containing non-volatile flash memory.
Clear: Reset the state to original factory settings by pressing and maintaining the reset button for at least 5 seconds.
Refer to technical documentation for more details.
Purge: The flash memory cannot be easily identified and removed from the board. For this reason, Eaton recommends to
destroy the whole computing board.
Destroy: Shred, disintegrate, pulverize, or Incinerate by burning the device in a licensed incinerator.
