Secure the card hold-down bracket with a screw.
Connecting a Chassis Intrusion Connector to the Tamper Header
The ProtectServer 3 PCIe is equipped with a two-pin tamper header which, when shorted, places the HSM in a
tamper state with a status of Chassis Open. If your chassis is so equipped, you can connect the chassis
intrusion connector to the tamper header so that the HSM is placed in a tamper state if the chassis is opened.
Refer to the documentation provided by your chassis manufacturer for more information.
To connect a chassis intrusion connector to the tamper header
1.
Install the card as described in
"Installing the ProtectServer 3 PCIe Card Into the Host Computer" on
.
2.
Connect the chassis intrusion connector to the tamper input header on the card, shown below.
NOTE
If used, this pin pair would usually be wired to a chassis switch that is held open when
the lid or panel is in place. Opening the lid or panel would close the switch and tamper the
HSM. If you are constructing or ordering a cable for this purpose, the header has 2 mm pin
pitch and mates with a Molex connector
