The TELs are made of a special thin gauge vinyl with self-adhesive backing.
Once the CO attaches them on the chassis, any attempt to open the chassis damages
the TELs or the chassis cover. Because the TELs have nonrepeated serial numbers,
the CO can inspect them for damage and compare them against the applied serial
numbers to verify whether the chassis has been tampered with. TELs with curled
corners, rips, and slices indicate tampering. The word “FIPS” or “OPEN” may
appear if the label has been peeled back.
Note
Step 1 Copy the serial number and store in a secure place.
Step 2 If the chassis is mounted on a wall, uninstall it by following Steps 9-10 in Wall-Mount the Chassis.
Step 3 Install the FIPS cover by holding the chassis right-side up and sliding the chassis into the FIPS cover front panel first.

Step 4 Turn the chassis with the FIPS cover installed over and install the three screws.
