Chapter 1:   ProtectServer PCIe 2 Hardware Installation

Installing the legacy card reader

To install the smart card reader, use the included USB-to-serial cable to connect it to the HSM USB port on the
card faceplate as shown in

"The connected legacy card reader" below

(The illustration shows the card reader

connected to a ProtectServer External 2).

The legacy card reader must also be connected to a PS/2 port for power. Many newer servers have USB ports,
but do not provide a PS/2 connection.

The options are:

>

Use a PS/2-to-USB adapter (pink) to connect the card reader to a USB port on the host computer.

>

If you prefer not to expose USB ports on your crypto server (for security reasons), use a PS/2-to-USB
adapter to connect the card reader to a standalone powered USB hub.

The USB connection is for power only. No data transfer occurs.

Figure 1: The connected legacy card reader

Completing Installation

After you have installed the ProtectServer HSM Access Provider, install the supplied SafeNet API or net server
software. For more information about installing ProtectToolkit, see

"ProtectToolkit Software Installation" on
