What to do next
See the Cisco Firepower 2100 Getting Started Guide for your operating system for further configuration
information.
Install the FIPS Opacity Shield in a Four-Post Rack
This procedure should be performed only by the Crypto Officer (CO).
Caution
Because the FIPS opacity shield covers the serial number on the chassis, the CO should copy the serial number
and store it in a secure place. The serial number is needed when you call Cisco TAC.
Note
You need the following to install the FIPS opacity shield:
• #1 Phillips screwdriver
• The following items from the FIPS kit:
• One FIPS opacity shield
• Four 8-32 x 0.375-inch-Phillips screws used to attach the FIPS opacity shield to the cable management
brackets
• Seven Tamper Evidence Labels (TEL)
The TELs are made of a special thin gauge vinyl with self-adhesive backing.
Once the CO attaches them on the chassis, any attempt to open the chassis damages
the TELs or the chassis cover. Because the TELs have nonrepeated serial numbers,
the CO can inspect them for damage and compare them against the applied serial
numbers to verify whether the chassis has been tampered with. TELs with curled
corners, rips, and slices indicate tampering. The word “FIPS” or “OPEN” may
appear if the label has been peeled back.
Note
Step 1 Copy the serial number and store it in a secure place. To find the serial number, see Serial Number Location.
Step 2 Perform the steps described in Rack-Mount the Chassis Using Slide Rails.
Step 3 Connect the cables to the ports. Make sure the cables have enough slack to route them through the cable mounting
brackets.
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 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.
