This chapter describes the physical installation of the
HSM in the computer room. It then requires configuration, as described
in the Configuration section, and Local
Master Key loading as described in the HSM 8000 Security Operations Manual.
Please also refer to Appendix A "Warnings, Cautions and Statutory
Statements" before using the HSM 8000.
Should any malfunction be suspected in the unit, return the apparatus to
your supplier for service and/or repair to ensure continued compliance.
The HSM 8000 series units contain no user serviceable parts except for
the Mains fuses which are detailed in section .
The unit should be installed in an environment compatible with the maximum
operating temperature of the unit.
Installation of the unit in a rack should not reduce air flow so as to
compromise safe operation of the unit. Particular attention should be
made to make sure that the side ventilation holes on the HSM are not obstructed
which could reduced the airflow through the unit.
When installed in a rack make sure that the unit is securely installed
using all the appropriate mechanical fixings so that it will not cause
a hazardous condition.
