Troubleshooting

Each SafeNet ProtectServer Network HSM is tested during manufacture to ensure a high level of quality. In the unlikely event the unit is not functioning correctly please re-check the installation procedure, paying particular attention to the power source and network cable connection. Running the diagnostic utility program hsmstate as discussed in the System Testing section is the only method available to test the unit.

Note:  The unit has no user serviceable parts. Please do not disassemble the unit to resolve problems unless directed by a SafeNet support engineer.

Note:  If it ever becomes necessary to get into the BIOS, press <Delete> as the SafeNet ProtectServer Network HSM boots.

For further assistance contact your supplier or SafeNet support with the following details at hand:
