If any of the secure module's tamper sensors are triggered by tampering or by accident, the PCIe
Cryptographic Coprocessor erases all data in the protected memory, including the certified device
key. Incorrect removal of the batteries triggers the tamper sensors and destroys the certified
device keys. The PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor cannot operate without the certified device
keys. To protect the keys, follow the guidelines given in the documentation provided with the
coprocessor.
Attention: The batteries keep the coprocessor powered on even when it is not installed in a
system. When handling, installing, or removing the adapter, do not let the adapter circuits come
in contact with any conductive surface or tools. Doing so can render the adapter permanently
inoperable.
Do not remove the batteries of the adapter. Data in the protected memory is lost when battery
power is removed. For information about replacing the batteries, see the Installation Manual at
the IBM Cryptocard website at http://www-03.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/.
Attention: While installing the coprocessor, observe the following precautions:
v The coprocessor is always powered by the batteries, even when it is not installed in the system.
v The battery power is necessary to keep the coprocessor operational.
v The loss of battery power or a voltage drop triggers a tamper event and permanently renders
the coprocessor inoperable.
v Any short on the battery power distribution circuits causes a voltage drop and a tamper event.
v Do not lay the coprocessor on or cause the coprocessor to come in contact with any conductive
surface.
v Do not strike the coprocessor circuits with metal or conductive tools.
v Use static-protective measures at all times when handling the coprocessor.
