Installing the Luna Backup HSM 7 Hardware
The backup HSM is a USB device. To install the backup HSM, connect it to a USB port on a Luna HSM Client workstation
NOTE On most Luna HSM Client computers, the USB port provides adequate power, and connecting the provided power supply is not recommended. Wait and confirm that the HSM boots properly. If the HSM fails to boot up:
1. Disconnect the HSM from the USB port.
2. Connect the HSM to power using the provided power supply. Wait for it to boot completely.
3. Reconnect the HSM to the USB port on the client.
If the HSM is connected to the USB port before the power supply, you may encounter an issue where the HSM occasionally loses contact with the client, and must be power cycled.
NOTE If you are installing Luna HSM Client on Windows, the driver may not be installed unless the Luna device is connected to the computer first; refer to Backup/USB/PCIe Drivers Not Installed on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2022 Unless Device is Connected.
