Overview (continued)

Audit Trail

Keeping strict records of the eradication of data is required by most specifications. For this

reason, SCSI Hammer™ comes equipped with Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM) on board. This is

used to track device activity which can then be transferred to a host PC through the USB 2.0

port or printed via the optional Bluetooth printer.

The optional Bluetooth printer may be used to generate labels for each drive upon which

Hammer™ has acted.

For every action SCSI Hammer™ performs, a log is kept. The last action is always logged to

NVRAM; in addition, users may choose to store this information on the drives upon which an

action is taken. Up to one hundred twenty-eight (128) logs may be stored on SCSI

Hammer™.

This is useful when working with many drives; SCSI Hammer™ may be instructed to use the

data written to the drive as a source for generating labels.

Bluetooth Printer – Compliance and Audit Trails:

Compliance with regulations, rules and laws generally call for an audit trail of some type.

The optional Bluetooth Printer makes asset tracking and maintaining audit trails even easier.

As drives are erased, labels may be printed which detail the erasure process. These may then

be affixed to the processed drive, providing anyone with physical access to them with the

information needed to track their further use.

Labels affixed to the drives themselves clearly identify drive status.

SCSI Hammer™ provides this functionality to help companies, organizations and agencies with

the tools to keep records of compliance.
