Install the FIPS Opacity Shield
This procedure should be performed only by the Crypto Officer. If your Firepower 9300 is already up
and running when you receive the FIPS opacity shield, the Crypto Officer must power it down, remove
cables, attach the FIPS opacity shield, attach the tamper-evident labels (TEL), recable, and power on
the Firepower 9300. See the FIPS 140-2 Non Proprietary Security Policy Level 2 Validation document
for more information about the duties of the Crypto Officer.
Caution
This procedure describes how to install the FIPS opacity shield on the front of a Firepower 9300 that is already
rack-mounted. The FIPS opacity shield has an access cover that is already attached with two captive screws.
The FIPS opacity shield covers the pullout asset card on the front panel that contains the serial number, but
there is another pullout asset card on the side of the chassis and the serial number is also printed on the top
of the Supervisor. See Serial Number Location for the placements of the serial number on the chassis. You
need the serial number whenever you contact Cisco TAC.
Before you begin
You need the following before you install the FIPS opacity shield:
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Chassis already rack-mounted
• All cabling disconnected from the front of the chassis
• FIPS kit
• Four 10-32 x .75 -inch crews
• FIPS opacity shield
• Twelve tamper-evident labels
Step 1 Remove the two screws from each side of the chassis brackets.
The chassis sits on rails that support its weight so it will not fall when the screws are removed.
Step 2 Using the four 10-32 x .75-in. screws from the FIPS kit, attach the FIPS opacity shield to the left and right chassis brackets,
two for each side.
