1 SafeNet Luna Network HSM Hardware Installation
Installing the SafeNet Luna Network HSM Hardware
This section provides basic SafeNet Luna Network HSM hardware installation instructions (connecting cables, booting,
etc.). If you intend to mount the appliance in a standard equipment rack, see "Rack-Mounting the SafeNet Luna
Network HSM"on page 16 before following these instructions.
Note: Certain security standards require the HSM to be locked in an equipment rack with
restricted physical access. If your organization uses such standards, see "Rack-Mounting the
SafeNet Luna Network HSM"on page 16.
Installation Notes
• Any computer that is to act as a client to the SafeNet Luna Network HSM appliance must have the Client software
installed. Windows users should log in to your computer as a user with Administrator privileges.
• A computer that is to be used only for administering the SafeNet Luna Network HSM does not need the Client
software – only an SSH client such as the provided PuTTY program for Windows, or the SSH utilities that come
standard with most Linux and UNIX platforms.
• A computer that is to be used for Remote PED workstation operation against a SafeNet Luna Network HSM must
have the PEDServer software and PED USB driver installed. Applies to select Windows platforms only.
• All three tasks (Client, administration, and Remote PED) can be performed on a single computer, but in normal
practice they are often separate tasks for separate computers.
• See "SafeNet Luna Remote PED Installation and Configuration"on page 26 if you will be using Remote PED.
Installing the SafeNet Luna Network HSM Hardware
Follow these instructions to install and begin configuring the appliance.
To install the SafeNet Luna Network HSM hardware:
1. Insert the power (a) and network (b) cables at the rear panel.
For proper redundancy and best reliability, the power cables should connect to two completely independent power
sources.
2. If you have a PED-authenticated SafeNet Luna Network HSM, connect the PED directly to the HSM card's USB
