Handling The Hsm; Environmental Requirements - Entrust nShield Connect 6000 Hardware And Setup Manual

Chapter 2. nShield Network-Attached HSMs

The module is compatible with 1U 19" rack systems.
Measurements given are height x width x length/depth. If the inner slide rails are
attached, the width of the unpackaged module is 448mm.

2.1.4. Handling the HSM

nShield HSMs contain solid-state devices that can withstand normal handling.
However, do not drop the module or expose it to excessive vibration.
If you are installing the module in a 19" rack, make sure that you follow the nShield
Connect or 5c Slide Rails Instructions provided with the rails. In particular, be
careful of sharp edges.
Only experienced personnel should handle or install an nShield HSM. Always
consult your company health and safety policy before attempting to lift and carry
the module. Two competent persons are required if it is necessary to lift the
module to a level above head height (for example, during installation in a rack or
when placing the module on a high shelf).

2.1.5. Environmental requirements

To ensure good air flow through and around the module after installation, do not
obstruct either the fans and vents at the rear or the vent at the front. Ensure that
there is an air gap around the module, and that the rack itself is located in a
position with good air flow.
2.1.5.1. Temperature and humidity recommendations
