Initial Setup

Installing an ASA 310-FIPS

The ASA 310-FIPS model is an where the ordinary SSL accelerator
card has been replaced by the HSM (Hardware Security Module) SSL
accelerator card. For more information about the ASA 310-FIPS model,
see

“Introducing the ASA 310-FIPS” (page 27)

.

After having installed the first ASA 310-FIPS, additional ASA 310-FIPS
units can be added to the same cluster by specifying the Management
IP (MIP) address that identifies the cluster. For more information about
adding an ASA 310-FIPS to an existing cluster, see

“Adding an ASA

310-FIPS to an Existing Cluster” (page 63)

.

Before installing or adding an ASA 310-FIPS, make sure that you
have fully understood the concept of iKeys. You might also want to
decide the labeling scheme you want to use for identifying which iKey
is used to initialize a certain HSM card, and also label two of the black
cluster-specific iKeys "CODE-SO" and "CODE-USER" respectively in
advance. For more information about the concept of iKeys and the ASA
310-FIPS model in general, see

“Introducing the ASA 310-FIPS” (page

27)

. You should also decide a password scheme because you will define

passwords not only for the admin user, but also for the HSM-SO iKeys,
the HSM-USER iKeys, and possibly a secret passphrase (when selecting
FIPS mode).
