Windows Security

Windows Security
If your system is connected to the internet, you should take the following steps to
ensure the operating system is protected:
- Use an internet firewall
- Get the latest Windows updates
- Install and use up-to-date antivirus software.
To check the status of, or make changes to, the security settings for your
controller, open the Windows Security Center (Start > Control Panel >
Security Center).
The default system setting is Windows Automatic Updates is turned off. You may
want to manually update Windows OS by accessing Internet Explorer and from
the Tools menu, select Windows Update.

User data backup

All user data should be regularly backed up to an external memory device. This
can be done across a network or to a USB device. Your IT department may have a
backup strategy which is suitable for the system and data. User data back up
should be done prior to sending the controller back to Keysight for service.

System Backup and Recovery

There is a small system partition for the Keysight Recovery System on the SSD.
During the boot process, you are given the choice to boot the operating system
normally or boot from the recovery partition. Refer to the M9036A User Guide for
detailed information.
Keysight M9036A Embedded Controller Startup Guide
Downloading and installing Windows Updates can be network
and CPU intensive (impacting system performance). Some
updates automatically reboot the controller. Therefore, updates
should be performed when the system is not in normal use.
There is no antivirus or spyware software included with your
controller. Antivirus application software is the customer's
responsibility. Having antivirus software installed my have a slight
impact on system performance if your system uses intensive
network data transfer.
Some third-party disk backup utilities may destroy the Keysight
backup partition. If this happens, the Keysight Recovery System
will not work.
