Requirements and specifications
The IBM 4764 PCI-X Cryptographic Coprocessor uses dedicated hardware to process cryptographic keys,
certificates, and bulk data. These cryptographic functions are performed within a tamper-resistant module
that is designed to meet the FIPS PUB 140-2 Level 4 standard of detecting and responding to
unauthorized attempts at physical access and security compromise due to environmental conditions such
as voltage and temperature.
You can install the coprocessor, a standard height, short-type PCI-X adapter card, only in an IBM
eServer
™
xSeries
®
approved server with a PCI-X expansion slot available.
Before installing a coprocessor, check the IBM product Web site, http://www.ibm.com/security/cryptocards,
for the approved server list.

Special considerations for handling and storage
Each IBM 4764 PCI-X Cryptographic Coprocessor is shipped from the factory with a certified device key.
This electronic key, which is stored in the card’s battery-backed protected memory, digitally signs test
messages to confirm that the PCI-X cryptographic coprocessor is genuine and that no tampering has
occurred.
Note: If any of the secure module’s tamper sensors is triggered by tampering or accident, the coprocessor
erases (zeroizes) all data in the protected memory, destroying the device key. The PCI-X
cryptographic coprocessor cannot operate without the device key. To protect the key, follow these
guidelines:
Temperature
Do not expose the coprocessor to temperatures below −15 degrees C (+5 degrees F) or temperatures
above +60 degrees C (+140 degrees F).
Batteries
Do not remove battery power from the coprocessor. Data in the protected memory is lost when battery
power is removed. For information about replacing the batteries without erasing the protected memory, see
Chapter 3, “Replacing IBM PCI-X cryptographic coprocessor batteries.”
