Chapter 1: ProtectServer PCIe 2 Hardware Installation
The battery is in the ON position when a jumper is inserted on the center and left pins, as shown in
"ProtectServer PCIe 2 Installation" on page 13
.
The battery is in the OFF position when a jumper is inserted on the center and right pins. This setting is not
required for normal operation.
CAUTION!
Do not change the jumper setting unless instructed by Thales support.
The Decommission Jumper Header
This header is currently unused; do not change its default setting (open).
The Tamper-Input Header
The tamper-input header connects an external tamper device to the card. By default, it has a jumper in place
across both pins. To use an external tamper device, run a two-wire cable to your chassis-tamper switch or
similar device to open the circuit in the case of a tamper event.
The Polarity Jumper Header
The polarity jumper header is used to configure the card's operating mode. Do not change this jumper setting.
Installing the Adapter
The adapter is a PCI Express Specification 1.1-compliant device. It can be fitted in any spare PCIe slot on the
motherboard of formats x4, x8, or x16. If necessary, please consult the documentation accompanying your
host system motherboard to find the PCIe slots.
If you are using a tamper-detection device, route the cable to it before closing the computer cover.
ProtectServer HSM Access Provider Installation
After successful installation of the adapter:
1.
Install the ProtectServer HSM Access Provider package (
PTKpcihsmK6
).
2.
Confirm the adapter and driver package are operating correctly.
These steps are covered in detail, for both Windows and Unix/Linux systems, in
.
Smart Card Reader Installation
The ProtectServer PCIe 2 supports the use of smart cards with a SafeNet-supplied smart card reader. Readers
not supplied by Thales are unsupported.
The ProtectServer PCIe 2 supports two different card readers:
>
the new USB card reader (introduced in 5.2)
>
the legacy card reader, which provides a serial interface for data (via a USB-to-serial cable) and a PS/2
interface for power (direct or via a PS/2 to USB adapter)
Installing the USB smart card reader
To install the USB card reader, simply plug the card reader into the HSM USB port.
