Introduction What is the HP Praesidium SpeedCard? HP Praesidium SpeedCards are a balanced, economical co-processor with performance of a basic 1024-bit RSA private key decrypt or sign taking as little as 5 ms. For increased efficiency, multiple cards can be installed in the same system.
Certain “Classes” of hardware are not intended for access by users. At this time this includes V-Class and Superdome systems. HP recommends that these systems only be opened by a qualified HP Engineer. Failure to observe this requirement can validate any support agreement or warranty to which the owner might otherwise be entitled.

HSC Expansion I/O card, install the HP Praesidium SpeedCard in the Core I/O card. Step 5. Remove the Core I/O or HSC Expansion I/O card from the HP 9000. Step 6. Simultaneously pull out the extractor levers on both ends of the Core I/O or HSC Expansion I/O card.
Page 30
Hinge HSC Connector Hinge Step 12. Align the HSC connector on the HP Praesidium SpeedCard with the HSC connector in the slot. If you are installing the SpeedCard in the Expansion I/O card, make sure the nylon standoffs on the SpeedCard are properly aligned with the small round holes on the Expansion I/O card.

Installation Installing the hardware and software installed in the Core I/O card and the HSC Expansion I/O card. Front of Core I/O Card HSC Connector Step 15. Reinstall the Core I/O or HSC Expansion I/O card. If you are reinstalling the Core I/O card, position the card so that the SpeedCard is on the right side.
Page 32
Installation Installing the hardware and software Step 17. Push the Core I/O or HSC Expansion I/O card firmly back into place. Step 18. Push down firmly on the extractor levers on both ends of the card, to secure it in place. Step 19.
Step 6. If necessary, remove the cover plate(s) from the opening(s) for the slots you will use. Keep the screw for later use. Step 7. Remove the HP Praesidium SpeedCard from its antistatic plastic bag. Step 8. Find an empty slot and align the connector on the SpeedCard with the connector in the slot, being sure that the card slides down the slot guides on each side.
Keep the screw for later use. Step 8. Attach the grounding strap to your wrist or ankle. Step 9. Remove the HP Praesidium SpeedCard from its antistatic plastic bag. Step 10. Align the connector on the SpeedCard with the slot connector which is closest to the opening in the chassis.

Installation Installing the Software control scripts for the fileset, and builds the kernel. The estimated time required for processing will be 3 - 5 minutes. 11. When the status field indicates “Ready”, a Note Window will open. Activate the “OK” button on the Note Window to reboot the system. Step 2: Quick verify process This section allows you to verify that the hardware, device driver, and SwiftAPI function correctly.
Installation Installing the Software 2. On the HP-UX server, change the directory to /opt/cryptofast. 3. Run the script csinstall.sh. 4. Restart the Netscape server by running the start script from the <Netscape Root> directory. 5. Repeat step (1) to make sure that the https protocol is still working.
