This section describes how to mount the SafeNet USB HSM and connect the cables and peripheral devices.
1.If you are using the SafeNet SafeNet USB HSM rack-mount shelf, mount the shelf in a suitable equipment rack. Use fasteners appropriate to your brand of equipment rack. The shelf and the SafeNet USB HSM units are light-weight and therefore are adequately secured at the front only. Do not mount more than two SafeNet USB HSM devices, or any non-SafeNet USB HSM equipment, on the shelf.
2.Place your SafeNet USB HSM unit(s) on the shelf and push back until one of the index posts at the back edge of the shelf engages the index hole on the back panel of each SafeNet USB HSM.
3.Insert the power (a) and USB (b) cables at the rear panel.
4.If you are installing a PED-authenticated SafeNet USB HSM, connect the PED at the front panel, using the provided local PED cable.
5.Using the USB cable, connect the SafeNet USB HSM to a USB port on the SafeNet HSM client computer.
