• One FIPS opacity shield
• Four 8-32 x .375-in. countersink screws used to attach the FIPS opacity shield to the cable
management brackets
• Seven Tamper Evidence Labels (TEL)
Note 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.
