CHECK PHYSICAL INDICATORS (LEDs)
After powering on the TSM500i-NSS or the PC in which the TSM500i-PCIe is installed.
The red and green Status LEDs provide very important information about the current state of the
TSM500i.
For the TSM500i-NSS, the status LEDs are located on the front panel
For the TSM500i-PCIe, the status LEDs are located on the connector panel.
The meaning of these LEDs
must be understood
and the LEDs should be monitored when performing
management functions on the TSM500i.
During
normal operation
, the
RED LED will be OFF
and the
GREEN LED should be FLASHING
(either 1-flash if in
Loader
state or 2-flash if in the
Operational
state).
A detailed description of the LED states is given below:
RED
GREEN
Meaning
OFF
2-FLASH
Application running
. This is a healthy operational state.
OFF
1-FLASH
Loader state
. This is a healthy maintenance state. If the module is required to
be in the operational state, it will need to be reset.
ON
1-FLASH
Tampered state
. Remove and physically inspect the module (according to
standard security procedures). Refer to the HSM’s User Guide on how to clear
the tamper condition.
OFF
ON
Notice Me
. Typically this is a healthy operational state and indicates that the
TSM500i is waiting for key/password entry (with a specified timeout period).
OFF *
ON
Initialising and performing self-tests
. Occurs on power-up and reset.
* Although the RED LED will remain off during initialisation / self-tests, it will
flash once at the start of the initialisation sequence.
1-FLASH
1-FLASH
Error state
. If resetting does not rectify the situation, contact Prism Support.
ON
OFF
Corrupt State
. If resetting does not rectify the situation, contact Prism Support.
OFF
OFF
Power is off or catastrophic hardware failure
.
Notes:
Red ON or FLASH indicates that the HSM is unable to operate normally.
Green FLASH indicates that the HSM is accepting commands.
Green ON indicates that the HSM is busy.
Both OFF indicates no power or a catastrophic failure.
A 1-FLASH sequence follows the pattern 101010 (500ms per state)
A 2-FLASH sequence follows the pattern 101000 (500ms per state)
