Chapter 2. nShield Network-Attached HSMs
Instead of using the controls on the front panel to configure the HSM, you can use a US or
UK keyboard. You might find a keyboard easier for entering dates and IP addresses. You
connect the keyboard to the USB connector on the front of the HSM.
2.2.3.1. Configuring an HSM for your keyboard type
To configure an HSM for your keyboard type, select System > System configuration >
Keyboard layout and then choose the keyboard type you require.
When you have connected a keyboard and configured the HSM for its use, you can enter
numbers and characters directly into the display. See
for more about using a keyboard and keystroke shortcuts.

2.2.4. Checking the installation

Ensure that:
• The HSM is safely and securely installed.
• The mains cables and Ethernet cable are securely fitted.
• The HSM powers up successfully when you turn on the power supply at the rear of the
HSM.
