This chapter describes how to install and connect a SafeNet PCIe HSM. To ensure a successful installation, perform the following tasks in the order indicated:
1.Ensure that you have all of the required components, as listed in SafeNet PCIe HSM Required Items
2.Install and connect the hardware, as described in Installing the SafeNet PCIe HSM Hardware
The SafeNet PCIe HSM has been tested with a variety of representative systems/servers with compliant PCI express slots. When a compatibility problem with a current brand and model computer arises, that information is made available via our Technical Support organization.
If you encounter any issues when installing the SafeNet PCIe HSM into a new server/host computer, first try a different PCI express slot. The design of certain motherboards or the associated BIOS may prevent proper communication with a SafeNet PCIe HSM. For example, certain PCI express physical slots are intended for use only with a video card or another specific type of hardware, and the SafeNet PCIe HSM may not work correctly in these slots.
If you encounter further issues, please contact SafeNet Technical Support.
