3.3 Determining FIPS Mode
The user can determine whether the ETD is operating in FIPS mode by examining the VOP (Virtual
Operator Panel). VOP is an external software application and the primary ETD remote management tool.
VOP utilizes ETD services remotely. VOP is described in more detail in the document "Virtual Operator
Panel User's Guide" (see [VOPUG]).
Figure 3.1 shows the "View Current Drive Settings" of the VOP application (Drive Operations → View
Drive Data). The user can tell if the ETD has selected an Approved mode of operation by verifying that
the labels "Encryption active" and "Running in FIPS mode" are both set to "Yes". If either of these labels
is set to "No" then the ETD is not in a FIPS Approved mode.
