The coprocessor cannot operate without the device key. To protect the key, follow
these temperature and battery guidelines:
Storage
It is recommended that an uninstalled coprocessor be kept in its original protective
packaging material. Save this packaging material for future use, especially if the
coprocessor must be transported to another location.
Temperature
Do not expose the coprocessor to temperatures outside the limits in Table 3 on
page 3.
Batteries
Do not remove battery power from the coprocessor. Data in the protected memory
is lost (zeroized) when battery power is removed, rendering the coprocessor
permanently inoperable. For information about replacing the batteries without
erasing the protected memory, see Chapter 3, "Replacing coprocessor batteries," on
page 7.
Requirements and specifications
The requirements and specification for the coprocessor consist of the necessary
hardware and software, environmental requirements, and physical characteristics.
Hardware requirement
The coprocessor must be installed in a select x86 server from the list of
IBM-approved x86 servers. See notes below. No additional hardware or cabling is
required.
Notes:
Software requirement
The coprocessor requires support software, for example, the IBM 4767 CCA
Support Program, for both the host machine and for its internal firmware.
Operating system support is determined by the support software. This publication
does not discuss the installation of support software. For information about the
latest software features available, visit the product website at:

Power requirements
The power requirements for the IBM 4767-002 PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor
are:
v +12 volt PCIe domain: 20.13 watts maximum
v +3.3 volt PCIe domain: 3.31 watts maximum (including USB external load)
v On-board batteries: batteries dead less than 2.4 volts; low-battery warning less

4767 PCIe Installation
1. The full speed USB 2.0 Type A connector is for development use only. It
is not intended for customer use.
2. The two RJ45 connectors are blocked. They are not intended for
customer use.
