Luna G5 Required Items

This section provides a list of the components you should have received with your Luna G5 order. The list of items you should have received depends on whether you ordered a password-authenticated Luna G5 or a PED-authenticated Luna G5, as described in the following sections:

Password-Authenticated Luna G5

The following are the standard items that you should have received as your basic order for a password-authenticated Luna G5:

Luna G5 HSM

You order should include one Luna G5 HSM.

Power Cord

You order should include one power supply cord for the Luna G5 HSM. The actual cord received depends on the country for which you ordered the Luna G5 HSM.

USB cable (USB A to USB mini B)

Your order should include one USB A to 5-pin (Mini-B) cable.

Software and Documentation

Your order should include a DVD case containing a Software DVD and a Documentation DVD.

PED-Authenticated Luna G5

Depending on your ordering options, the Luna G5 ships either in secure transport mode or with secure transport mode enabled, but turned off:

If your Luna G5 was shipped in secure transport mode, you require the SRK PED Key (purple label) that was shipped separately from your Luna G5 to unlock your Luna G5. Note that each SRK PED keys is specific to a certain Luna G5.

If your Luna G5 was shipped with secure transport mode enabled, but turned off, no purple key is required initially.

Note that you can use SafeNet PEDs and PED Keys that you already own and use with other HSMs – PEDs of the same type and version (v2.3.0 and later) are interchangeable, and PED Keys can be used with multiple HSMs if that is appropriate in your context (the only exception is the SRK, which is specific to a single Luna G5). You should purchase the number you need for your own convenient operation, and for backup/standby units as your security policies might require.

If your Luna G5 is the PED-authenticated version, then you might also have ordered the items listed below.

Luna PED

Your order should include a PED II device.

Luna PED local cable

You order should include a 9-pin, Micro-D to Micro-D cable for local PED operation.

PED Keys and Labels

You order should include a set of iKey PED Keys and peel-and-stick labels.

Additional Optional Items

Your order may also include the following optional item.

Luna G5 Rack-Mount Shelf

The SafeNet Luna G5 rack-mount shelf (available by separate order) fits a standard 19-inch equipment rack, allowing you to install up to two Luna G5 units side-by side in server-room racks. For office use, without rack mounting, Luna G5 units can be placed on a desktop and are stackable.
