Requirements

Your system must run the IBM i operating system and must meet these requirements before you install and use the Cryptographic Coprocessors.

Note: Start of changeThe IBM 4767 Cryptographic Coprocessor is no longer available, but it is still supported. End of change

Requirements for the 4769 Cryptographic Coprocessor

Start of changeThe 4769 Cryptographic Coprocessor can be ordered by specifying Hardware Feature Code EJ35 or EJ37, depending on the system model. Refer to the IBM Power Systems Hardware Information Center to determine which system models support the Cryptographic Coprocessors.End of change

Your Cryptographic Coprocessor is a PCIe card and requires the following software:
  • Start of changeIBM i: The 4769 Cryptographic Coprocessor requires IBM® i 7.3 or later.End of change
  • IBM i Option 35 Common Cryptographic Architecture Cryptographic Service Provider (CCA CSP) provides the SAPI.
  • IBM i 5733-CY3 Cryptographic Device Manager provides the CCA firmware for the 4764, 4765, 4767, and Start of change4769End of change Cryptographic Coprocessors.
  • IBM i Option 34 Digital Certificate Manager (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).
  • IBM i 5770–TC1 TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).
  • IBM i 5770–DG1 IBM HTTP Server (if you are planning on using the Cryptographic Coprocessor configuration web-based utility).

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 you must contact your hardware service provider to order a new Cryptographic Coprocessor.
