It is a best practice to purge data before disposing of any device containing data. Guidelines for decom-
missioning 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: If supported by the device, reset the state to original factory settings.
- Destroy: Shred, disintegrate, pulverize, or Incinerate by burning the device in a licensed incinerator.
