If you are installing the FIPS opacity shield after the initial product installation, the cables are connected. If
the attached cables do not have enough slack to route them through the cable mounting brackets (as shown
in the figure below), you will have to turn the power off on the appliance, remove the cables, route the cables
through the cable mounting brackets, reattach the cables, and continue with Step 5 below.
Note
When you toggle the power switch from ON to OFF, it takes several seconds for the system to power down.
Do not remove the power cable until the power LED is off. After removing power from the chassis either by
moving the power switch to OFF or unplugging the power cord, wait at least 10 seconds before turning power
back ON.
Note
Step 4
Route the cables through the openings in the cable management brackets as shown in the figure below.
Step 5
Attach the FIPS opacity shield to the cable management brackets using the four 8-32 x 0.375-inch Phillips screws
provided in the FIPS kit as shown in the figure below.

Step 6
Before you attach the TELs, clean the chassis and FIPS cover of any grease, dirt, or oil with alcohol-based cleaning
pads.
Step 7
Attach the seven TELs. See the figure below for the correct placement. Allow the TELs to cure for a minimum of 12
hours.
Any deviation in the placement of the TELs means the chassis is not in FIPS mode.
