and is not recommended under normal operating conditions.

Tamper lock
The tamper lock allows you to set the tamper state of the HSM inside the appliance.
You can use the tamper lock during commissioning or decommisioning of the
appliance to destroy any keys currently stored on the HSM.
When the key is in the horizontal (Active) position, the HSM is in normal operating
mode. When the key is in the vertical (Tamper) position, the HSM is in the tamper
state, and any keys previously stored on the HSM are destroyed.
CAUTION!
Turning the tamper key from the Active position to the Tamper position causes any
keys currently stored on the HSM to be deleted. Once the keys are deleted they are
not recoverable. Ensure that you always back up your keys. To avoid accidentally
deleting the keys on an operational SafeNet ProtectServer Network HSM, remove the
tamper key after installation/commissioning and store it in a safe place.
