Safety Information

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage

on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the

responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and

grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for

the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,

ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the

signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the

existing system before you add a device.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to

prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical

potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,

telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.

Lithium Battery Safety

CAUTION:

A lithium battery can cause a fire, an explosion, or a severe burn. Do not

recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 degrees C (212 degrees F), solder directly

to the cell, incinerate, or expose the cell contents to water.

Keep away from children.

Replace only with the part number specified for this product. Use of a different

battery may present the risk of fire or explosion. The battery connector is

polarized: do not attempt to reverse the polarity.

Dispose of the battery according to local regulations.

Handling Static-Sensitive Devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage this device and your system unit. To avoid

damage, keep this device in its anti-static protective bag until you are ready to install it.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed below:

vLimit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

vHandle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

vDo not touch solder joints, pins, or other printed circuitry.

vDo not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.

vWhile the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal part

of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the

package and from your body).

vRemove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit

without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its

static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side up).

Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

vTake additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces

indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

viii PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor Installation and Using Guide

Chapter 1. Description and Requirements

The PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor uses dedicated hardware to process cryptographic

keys, certificates, and bulk data. These cryptographic functions are performed within a

tamper-resistant module that is designed to meet the FIPS PUB 140-1 specification for

detecting attacks through temperature, radiation, voltage, and physical penetration.

You can install the PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor in a PCI card slot.

Contents of the Coprocessor Package

Your package includes the following items:

vThe PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor

vThe Installation and Using Guide (this manual)

If any item is missing or damaged, contact your sales representative.

Special Considerations for Handling and Storage

Each PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor is shipped from the factory with a certified device

key. This electronic key is digitally stored in the coprocessor’s battery-powered

protected memory. The information from this key signs status messages to confirm that

the coprocessor is genuine and that no tampering has occurred.

Note: If any of the secure module’s tamper sensors are triggered by tampering or

accident, the coprocessor erases all data in the protected memory, including the

certified device key. The coprocessor cannot operate without the certified device

key.

To protect the certified device key, follow these guidelines:

Temperature Do not expose the coprocessor to temperatures below

-15 degrees C (+5 degrees F) or temperatures above 60 degrees C

(+140 degrees F).

Observe the high and low temperature limits. Exceeding the limits

triggers a Tamper Event. Any Tamper Event renders the coprocessor

permanently inoperable, there is no recovery procedure.

Batteries Do not remove the coprocessor’s batteries. Data in the protected

memory is lost when battery power is removed. For information about

replacing the batteries without erasing the protected memory, see

Chapter 5, “Replacing Coprocessor Batteries”on page 17.

Handling

While installing the coprocessor, be aware that:

vThe coprocessor is always powered by the batteries, even when it

is not installed in the system.

vThe battery power is necessary to keep the coprocessor

operational.

vThe loss of battery power or a voltage drop triggers a Tamper

Event and permanently renders the coprocessor inoperable.

vAny short on the battery power distribution circuits causes a

voltage drop and a Tamper Event.

While handling the coprocessor, observe the following precautions:

vDo not lay the coprocessor on or cause the coprocessor to come in

contact with any conductive surface.

vDo not touch the coprocessor circuits with metal or conductive

tools.

vUse static-protective measures at all times when handling the

coprocessor.
