If the system is powered on, listen for the fans. You should immediately hear the fans operating. If you do not hear the
fans, make sure the fan tray is inserted completely into the chassis and the faceplate is flush with the outside surface of
the chassis.
Step 6
Verify that the fan is operational by checking the fan tray LED. See
for a description of
the fan LEDs.
Install the FIPS Opacity Shield in a Two-Post Rack
Because the FIPS opacity shield covers the serial number on the chassis, the Crypto Officer (CO) should copy
the serial number and store it in a secure place. The serial number is needed when you call Cisco TAC.
Note
This procedure should be performed only by the CO.
Caution
You need the following to install the FIPS opacity shield:
• #1 Phillips screwdriver
• The following items from the FIPS kit:
• One FIPS opacity shield
• Four 8-32 x 0.375-inch Phillips screws used to attach the FIPS opacity shield to the cable management
brackets
• Seven Tamper Evidence Labels (TEL)
The TELs are made of a special thin gauge vinyl with
self-adhesive backing. Once the CO attaches them on the chassis,
any attempt to open the chassis damages the TELs or the chassis
cover. Because the TELs have nonrepeated serial numbers, the
CO can inspect them for damage and compare them against the
applied serial numbers to verify whether the chassis has been
tampered with. TELs with curled corners, rips, and slices indicate
tampering. The word “FIPS” or “OPEN” may appear if the label
has been peeled back.
Note
Step 1
Copy the serial number and store in a secure place. To find the serial number, see
.
Step 2
Perform the steps described in
Rack-Mount the Chassis Using Brackets
including installing the cable management
bracket (Step 2).
Step 3
Connect the cables to the ports. Make sure that the cables have enough slack to route them through the cable mounting
brackets.
