The HSM stops responding when you enter an HSM command,
or it gives an error message (any of several, depending on what it was doing
at the time) and then stops responding.
Summary of Your Responses to Tamper Events
If you have a password-authenticated HSM, or if you have a PED-authenticated HSM, then both splits of the
MTK reside always on the HSM.
The MTK is destroyed by a tamper event, and the HSM becomes unresponsive. When you react to this by
rebooting the appliance, the HSM has both splits available and can immediately reconstitute the MTK and go
on operating normally, without further intervention from you.

Power On
On the back panel, ensure that the power supplies are connected and working - the green LED on each power
supply glows steadily when in operation.
If the appliance does not immediately begin to start up, press and release the START/STOP switch
on the
front panel.
The HSM appliance begins to power up.
