2.1.3. 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).

2.1.4. 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.
2.1.4.1. Temperature and humidity recommendations
