The battery is shipped with the SafeNet USB HSM device, but is not installed. You must install the battery before beginning to configure and use the SafeNet USB HSM device.
1.Remove the front faceplate. The faceplate is held in place by two spring clips. Grasp the faceplate firmly and pull to disengage the clips. Set the faceplate aside.
2.The battery compartment is to the right as you face the unit. The compartment cover is circular and has both raised dots and a recessed slot. Use finger-pressure against the dots, or use the edge of a coin in the slot, to twist the battery compartment cover ¼ turn in a counter-clockwise direction. The cover should fall out easily.
3.Remove the battery from its packaging and align it at the opening of the SafeNet USB HSM (or SafeNet Backup HSM) battery compartment. The battery should have a “+” sign near the end with the raised nub/bump. The flat end of the battery is the negative pole (-).
4.Insert the battery into the battery compartment, negative end first. The positive end (+) should protrude. The compartment is spring-loaded.
5.Use the battery compartment cover to push the battery into the compartment, against the spring tension. Maintaining the pressure, align the two tabs on the inside of the cover with the two recessed indentations at the top and bottom of the compartment opening. With a little jiggling and a few trial pushes, the tabs should settle into those recesses, allowing the cover to seat flush with the front of the SafeNet USB HSM (or SafeNet Backup HSM). Maintain the inward pressure and twist the cover ¼ turn clockwise to lock it in place. The battery is installed.
6.Replace the SafeNet USB HSM (or SafeNet Backup HSM) front-panel by aligning the clips with their respective posts and pushing until the clips grab the posts and the cover snaps in place.
7.The SafeNet USB HSM or SafeNet Backup HSM is ready to connect to your host system.
