SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM Required Items

This section provides a list of the components you should have received with your SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM order. The specific items you received depend on whether you ordered a password-authenticated or a PED-authenticated SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM, and whether your order included a backup device or other options as described below.

Basic SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM order items

The standard items that you should have received as your basic order for a SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM are:

Qty Item
1

SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM

The HSM comes fitted with a full-height mounting bracket.

1

Anti-Static Wrist Strap

1

Half-height mounting bracket

Use this bracket if you need to install the SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM into a half-height slot.

PED-Authenticated SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM order items

If you ordered a PED-authenticated SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM, you should have received some combination of the following items in addition to the items in the basic order.

Qty Item
1+

SafeNet Luna PED

Your order should include at least one PED device.

If you intend to back up your SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM to a SafeNet Luna Backup HSM, then you require a Luna PED to connect to that Backup HSM.

If you intend to combine remote operation and backup, you might prefer to have a second PED. It is possible to use a single Luna PED for both connections, and to simply change between local and remote mode as needed.

Note that you can use PED keys that you already own and use with other HSMs if appropriate. You should purchase the number you need for your own convenient operation, and for backup/standby units as your security policies might require.

1

Luna PED cable

Both the standard and remote-capable PED devices connect to your HSM using a Type A to Mini B USB cable.

1

SafeNet Remote PED Power Supply Kit [*]  

If you ordered a Luna PED, your order should include a Luna PED power supply kit with the appropriate connection for your region. The power supply is auto-sensing and includes replaceable mains plug modules for international use.
[* If you received a refreshed PED (updated internal hardware, and PED firmware 2.8.0 or newer), it is powered via the USB connection and does not require a separate, external power supply; none is supplied.]

1

Ten-pack of iKey 1000 PED keys, and sheets of peel-and-stick labels

Your order should include a set of iKey PED keys and peel-and-stick labels.

Optional Items

Your order may include a SafeNet Luna Backup HSM.

Qty Item
1

SafeNet Luna Backup HSM

You can back up your selected SafeNet Luna PCIe HSM partition contents (root keys, certificates, other items) to a SafeNet Luna Backup HSM. The SafeNet Luna Backup HSM is suitable for off-site storage and for backing up multiple HSM partitions. It can back up contents of password-authenticated or of PED-authenticated HSMs. It must be initialized as one type or the other before the backup operation starts.

The SafeNet Luna Backup HSM can be connected directly to an HSM, or it can be connected to a separate computer to back up remotely-located HSMs in conjunction with a Remote PED.

The authentication method for a backup HSM must match the authentication method (password or PED) for any HSM with which it is used.

The SafeNet Luna Backup HSM ships with an external power supply.
