Requirements
Your system must run the i5/OS® operating system and must meet these requirements before you install and use any of the Cryptographic Coprocessors.
4764 Cryptographic Coprocessor requirements
The 4764 Cryptographic Coprocessor can be ordered by specifying Hardware Feature Code 4806, which is supported on the following models:
Your Cryptographic Coprocessor is a PCI card, and requires the following software:
- IBM® System i5™ 520, 550, 570, and 595
- I/O Expansion units 5074, 5088, 5095, 0595, 5294, and 5790
- i5/OS (5722-SS1): The 4764 Cryptographic Coprocessor requires i5/OS Version 5 Release 3 Modification 0 or later.
For systems running V5R3M0, the Cryptographic Access Provider 128-bit (5722-AC3) licensed program product must also be installed to enable the cryptographic functions in the hardware.
- i5/OS Option 35 Common Cryptographic Architecture Cryptographic Service Provider (CCA CSP) provides the SAPI.
- i5/OS 5733-CY1 Cryptographic Device Manager provides the CCA firmware for the 4764 Cryptographic Coprocessor.
- i5/OS Option 34 Digital Certificate Manager (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).
- i5/OS 5722–TC1 TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).
- i5/OS 5722–DG1 IBM HTTP Server (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).
4758 Cryptographic Coprocessor requirements
The 4758 Cryptographic Coprocessor can be ordered by specifying a Hardware Feature code 4801, which is supported on the following hardware:
Your Cryptographic Coprocessor is a PCI card. Install the card as described in the eServer PCI adapter installation manual. See the PCI Adapter PDF for more information.
- System i5 520, 550, 570, and 595
- eServer™ i5 250 and 270 (250 requires the 7102 expansion unit), 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and 890
- Expansion units 5074, 5075, 5078, 5079, 5088, 5094, 5095, 5294, and 5790
Your Cryptographic Coprocessor requires the following software:
- i5/OS: The 4758 Cryptographic Coprocessors requires i5/OS Version 5 Release 3 Modification 0 or later.
For systems running V5R3M0, the Cryptographic Access Provider 128-bit (5722-AC3) licensed program product must also be installed to enable the cryptographic functions in the hardware.
- i5/OS Option 35 Common Cryptographic Architecture Cryptographic Service Provider (CCA CSP).
- i5/OS Option 34 Digital Certificate Manager (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).
- i5/OS 5722–TC1 TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).
- i5/OS 5722–DG1 IBM HTTP Server (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).
Software note:With i5/OS V5R4M0 the 5722-AC3 Cryptographic Access Provider Product is no longer required to enable data encryption. The 5722-AC3 product has been withdrawn and its function has been incorporated into i5/OS. When installing i5/OS V5R4M0 any previously installed 5722-ACx products will automatically be deleted.
Hardware note: The Cryptographic Coprocessors destroy their factory certification if allowed to cool below -15 degrees C (5 degrees F). If your Coprocessor destroys its factory certification, you can no longer use the card, and contact your hardware service provider to order a new Cryptographic Coprocessor.
