Physical Installation

For the physical installation of the HSM, it is recommended that it be placed in a standard 19-inch rack.

The environmental conditions must be within the parameters described in the equipment's physical characteristics.

The following items are required to install the HSM:

1. minimum rack space of 1U;
2. 04 screws for fixing to rack (supplied) or rail or tray, depending on model and purchase option;
3. two 110 or 220V power sockets for connecting the redundant power supply at the rear (it is recommended that they be from different power extensions); only one socket is required for the XP model;
4. network point and cable with RJ-45 male connector for connection to the rear RJ-45 female connector (LAN1 or LAN2); both ports can be used simultaneously;
5. video monitor with VGA cable and D15 male connector for connection to the HSM's front D15 female connector (video port);
6. USB keyboard (connection does not work via USB HUBs or keyboards with built-in USB input); some older HSM models require a keyboard with a PS/2 connector;

Procedure

Fixing the XP model to the rack with screws

Fixing the ST model to the rack with a rail

The installation procedure is:

1. open the package and check that all the items are present:
2. HSM Hardware Dinamo ;
3. 02 smart cards;
4. 01 or 02 power cables, depending on the type of power supply;
5. remove the HSM from the packaging;
6. check that all sealing and identification labels are intact;
7. attach the HSM to the rack using the 04 screws in the four holes next to the handle on the front or use a rail or tray.
8. plug the power socket(s) into the source on the back;
9. connect the network cable to one of the rear ports;
10. connect the video monitor to the front;
11. connect the keyboard to the front;
12. turn on the monitor;
13. turn on the HSM via the power button on the front (some models have a button on the back to turn on the power supply);
14. check that the power, power status (front, ST model only) and source (rear, ST model only) LEDs light up and turn green;
15. wait while the HSM performs hardware and software self-tests and loads the HSM firmware;
16. check that the signal on the video port is enabled and the video monitor displays self-test and home screen information;
17. the HSM is ready to start the Initialization process, if it is the first access or Activation;

Rack-mounted XP model

ST model installed in rack

The monitor and keyboard are only needed for the Initialization, Activation or HSM configuration procedures and can be disconnected after the procedures.

In the above procedure, if any items are found to be missing or if any of the steps are not followed, the manufacturer should be contacted.

It is important that after the Initialization process the OEM security code is checked to certify the integrity of the equipment.

Attention

The HSM leaves the factory set to Non Restricted Mode (NRM); the operator must explicitly change the mode of operation if they so choose.
