Remove the A/B switch used to switch a peripheral device that has persistent memory or devices that support removable media between two or more ISs of different classification levels.
The reviewer will view the A/B switch to verify the A/B switch is not used to switch a peripheral device that has persistent memory or devices that support removable media between two or more ISs of different classification levels. This would include but not be limited to ZIP drives, hard disk drives, and writable CD drives. If A/B switches are used to switch a peripheral device that has persistent memory or devices that support removable media between two or more ISs of different classification levels, this is a finding.
