Front Panel (all models)
The front panel is illustrated below, with the secure locking bezel removed:
| Item | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | Front ear brackets | Connect to the front of the appliance chassis with the provided screws, allowing it to be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The extending tabs act as posts for the locking bezel. |
| B | Mounts for locking bezel | The secure locking bezel connects to the appliance faceplate here. |
| C | Front-panel display | Displays basic configuration and status information for the appliance. |
| D | USB 3.0 ports | These USB ports are not used and are disabled. |
| E | Stop/start switch | Powers the appliance on or off. |
| F | Fan status LEDs | The appliance has three (3) cooling fans. If these lights are illuminated, the fans are working correctly. |
| G | Ventilation fan filter cover | Removable cover allows cleaning of air filter. |
| H | Fan bay securing screws | Torx screw secures the fan bay. Opening to swap fan modules triggers a tamper event on the appliance. |
Rear Panel (all models)
The rear panel is illustrated below:
| Item | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | Sliding rail brackets | Connect to the sliding rails mounted on the sides of the appliance chassis, allowing it to be mounted in a standard 19-inch appliance rack. |
| B | Kensington lock connector | Allows the appliance to be secured to a desk or equipment rack using Kensington lock. |
| C | Models with HSM: HSM card with USB port | When authenticating with a PED, the PED must be connected directly to the USB port of the HSM card. The other USB ports on the appliance will not work for PED connection. |
| C | Models without HSM: No HSM card | No HSM card installed - a blank plate is installed. |
| D | USB 3.0 ports | These USB ports are not used and are disabled. |
| E | RJ45 serial port | Connect a terminal to this port using the included RJ45 to USB cable. |
| F | Fan status LEDs | The appliance has three (3) cooling fans. If these lights are illuminated, the fans are working correctly. |
| G | Decommission button | This button should only be pressed as part of decommissioning and zeroizing the appliance. |
| H | Power supplies | 2 Power Supplies connect the appliance to power. For proper redundancy and best reliability, the power cables should connect to two completely independent power sources. |
CipherTrust Manager Network Interface
Network Interface for 1Gbps Models
1Gbps models come with four 1 Gbit RJ45 Ethernet network ports (labeled 0, 1, 2, and 3). The network interfaces are mapped to Ethn, as detailed in the following illustration.
All ports are identical and equally usable and can be bonded in any combination. By default port Eth0 is configured for DHCP but this can be configured.
Refer to Network Interface Configuration and Bonding for more information.
Network Interface Mapping for 1Gbps/10Gbps Models
10 Gbps models provide two 10Gbps SFP optical Ethernet network ports (labeled 0 and 1) and two 1Gbps copper RJ45 network ports (labeled 2 and 3). The network interfaces are mapped to Ethn, as detailed in the following illustration.
You can optionally bond the network interfaces Eth0 with Eth1 or Eth2 with Eth3 to form a logical interface, providing a redundant active/standby virtual interface. By default port Eth0 is configured for DHCP but this can be configured.
Refer to Network Interface Configuration and Bonding for more information.
Front Panel LCD
The Front Panel displays the product name (CipherTrust), the firmware version, and the IP address of any configured network interface.
HSM Emergency Decommission Button
The CipherTrust Manager k570 Appliance includes a way to decommission the HSM, or permanently deny access to all objects on it, without need for either a serial console or a remote (SSH) connection.
To directly decommission the HSM inside the appliance, press and release the small red button on the rear panel.
The appliance does not need to be powered on.
The appliance does not need to have power cables connected.
You will need a small screw-driver or other tool to reach the Emergency Decommission button. This is intentional, to prevent accidental pressing of that button.
What the Emergency Decommission Button Does
When you press the Decommission button, all partitions and their contents are deleted, as well as the audit role, and the audit configuration. The HSM policy settings are retained.
Warning
For k570 models, pressing the Decommission button makes all data and keys created on the CipherTrust Manager become permanently unusable, including keys in backups associated to the HSM.
To bring the HSM back into service, you need to:
Reinitialize the HSM.
Reinitialize the audit role and reconfigure auditing.
Recreate the partitions.
Reinitialize the partition roles.
Reset the system
kscfg system reset.Setup the HSM as described in Hardware Security Module.
At this point, you can recreate encryption keys on CipherTrust Manager.
Power Consumption
When installed and connected to appropriate electrical power sources, CipherTrust Manager k470 or k570 Appliance draws power as follows:
| Activity | Draw |
|---|---|
| Standby (connected to AC electrical mains but not powered on) | 26W (typical) |
| Power-on Input Surge | 15A (typical) 40A at 90-132VAC (max) 60A at 180-265VAC (max) |
| Active (under load from clients) | 84W to 90W (typical) 100W to 105W (max) |
The appliance has two power supplies, each rated at 350W, either of which is capable of running the system alone.
