Secure Information Device
Xerox Secure Information Devices (SIDs) are portable fixed-disk
drives for Xerox 8000 Network Systems. These disk drives ensure
that, without a physical connection to the network, no one can
intercept information you create, edit, print, mail, or store. The
SID is designed to meet your needs within critical work areas
involving secure or classified information.
Protecting and storing portable fixed-disk drives
SID portable fixed-disk drives are available in two sizes: 10- and
42-megabytes of storage capacity. You can attach one disk drive
to your SID workstation processor to provide individualized
storage for multiple users of one workstation processor.
The
processor can support only one portable fixed-disk drive at a
time.
To prevent damage to a disk drive, follow these gUidelines:
•
Handle the disk drive very carefully. If you need to move the
disk drive, use the two rigid handles to carry it to its secure
storage area. It weighs approximately 40 pounds.
•
Do not drop a disk drive or strike it against other objects.
•
Store the disk drive flat on a shelf in a clean environment. Be
sure the shelf can hold the weight if you are going to stack
disk drives.
In case of failure, the Xerox Service Representative turns the rigid
disk over to you for disposal.
This ensures the protection of
your data on the failed disk drive.
