If the system is powered on, listen for the fans. You should immediately hear the fans operating. If you do not hear the
fans, make sure the fan tray is inserted completely into the chassis and the faceplate is flush with the outside surface of
the chassis.
Step 6 Verify that the fan is operational by checking the fan tray LED. See Front Panel LEDs for a description of the fan LEDs.
Install the FIPS Opacity Shield in a Two-Post Rack
Because the FIPS opacity shield covers the serial number on the chassis, the Crypto Officer (CO) should copy
the serial number and store it in a secure place. The serial number is needed when you call Cisco TAC.
Note
This procedure should be performed only by the CO.
Caution
You need the following to install the FIPS opacity shield:
• #1 Phillips screwdriver
• The following items from the FIPS kit:
• One FIPS opacity shield
• Four 8-32 x 0.375-inch Phillips screws used to attach the FIPS opacity shield to the cable management
brackets
• Seven Tamper Evidence Labels (TEL)
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. To find the serial number, see Serial Number Location.
Step 2 Perform the steps described in Rack-Mount the Chassis Using Brackets including installing the cable management
bracket (Step 2).
Step 3 Connect the cables to the ports. Make sure that the cables have enough slack to route them through the cable mounting
brackets.
