Adapter Modification for External Tamper Detectors
Provision has been made to allow users to connect additional tamper detection devices
using the tamper input header, located on the rear of the card, as illustrated below.
To fit an external tamper detection device, such as a micro switch on the cover of the
host system, first remove the default jumper/shunt that bridges the two posts in the
ProtectServer adapter's tamper input header. Connect your external tamper device in
place of that shunt. You will need the cable end from your tamper-detection device to
match the Molex socket on the adapter.
The required insertable shell, or connector housing is Molex part 35507-0200. It must
be installed on the end of your tamper-device's two-wire cable, in order to insert into
the tamper-detection socket on the ProtectServer adapter.
Crimp a pair of Molex 50212-8100, 2mm WTB crimp terminals to the ends of the
wires coming from your tamper switch, and insert the crimped terminal sockets into
the Molex connector housing.
Plug the connector end of the assembled cable into the tamper-detect socket on the
PSI-E adapter.
In the un-tampered condition, any external device must provide a low impedance path
(i.e., short circuit) between the posts of the tamper-detect connector.In the tampered
condition, the external device must show an open circuit.
The Battery
The adapter is fitted with a battery, which is used to maintain keys and the correct
time on the adapter when the PCI-E connector is un-powered (such as, when the Host
computer is shutdown).
The expected lifetime of the battery is 10 years, so it should not require replacement
in the normal lifetime of the adapter.
