The Tamper Input Header
The tamper-input header used to connect an external tamper device to the card. By
default it has a jumper in place, across the two pins in the header. If an external
tamper detection device is to be used, run a two-wire cable to your chassis-tamper
switch or other device that must operate to open the circuit if a tamper event occurs.
The Polarity Jumper Header
The polarity jumper header is used to configure the operating mode of the card. Do
not change the jumper setting for this header.
Installing the Adapter
The adapter is a PCI Specification 2.2 compliant device. It may be fitted in any spare
PCI -E slot on the motherboard in formats x4, x8, or x16. If you are unsure which is a
PCI-E slot, please consult the documentation accompanying your host system
motherboard.
If you are using a tamper-detection device, route the cable to it before closing the
computer cover.
PCI HSM Access Provider Installation
After successful installation of the adapter, the next steps are to:
1. Install the SafeNet PSI-E2 HSM Access Provider package (PTKpcihsm2).
2. Confirm the correct operation of the adapter and driver package.
These steps are covered in the ProtectServer HSM Access Provider Installation Guide
for both Windows and Unix/Linux systems.
Smart Card Reader Installation
The ProtectServer offers functionality supporting the use of smart cards. To make use
of these features, a SafeNet-supplied smart card reader must be used. Smart card
readers, other than those supplied by SafeNet, are not supported.
To install the smart card reader, use the included USB-to-serial cable to connect it to
the USB port on the card faceplate.
The card reader qualified with the ProtectServer product also requires connection to a
PS/2 port for its power. Many newer servers have USB ports, but do not provide a
PS/2 connection.
