Turn each screw clockwise to attach the card to the standoffs. Make sure that all four standoff connections are properly aligned before tightening the screws completely. 9. To secure the connections, tighten the screws firmly, but do not overtighten. 10. Slide the chassis tray assembly back into the appliance and resecure the four retaining screws.

Configure your software to use hardware acceleration by following the instructions in "Configuring Software to Use Hardware Acceleration" on page 106. Configuring Software to Use Hardware Acceleration The Nokia encryption accelerator software package is part of the Nokia IPSO operating system, so the appliance automatically detects and configures the Nokia encryption accelerator card. For the Nokia IP1200 appliances, SecureXL is on by default. After you install the Nokia encryption accelerator card and reboot the appliance, SecureXL automatically uses the Nokia encryption accelerator card for encryption acceleration. If you do not want to use SecureXL for encryption acceleration, use the Check Point cpconfig utility to disable SecureXL. You can also configure the IP1200 appliances to use the Nokia encryption accelerator card for IKE acceleration. When you enable IKE acceleration, the Nokia encryption accelerator card performs cryptographic operations for IPsec tunnel negotiation. To enable IKE acceleration 1. From the Network Voyager home page, click Security and Access Configuration, then click IKE Acceleration. For information about how to access Network Voyager and the related reference materials, see "Using Nokia Network Voyager" on page 44. 2. On the IKE Acceleration page, click Register the module. 3.
