6 Installing and Replacing Other Components Installing an Encryption Accelerator Card Note The Nokia 60s does not support the optional encryption accelerator card. This section contains information about the Nokia encryption accelerator card for the Nokia 100s appliance. The card provides high-speed cryptographic processing that enhances SSL VPN performance. Both the 60s and 100s appliances provide built-in hardware-based encryption acceleration. The 100s also supports an optional encryption accelerator card to further enhance SSL VPN performance. No hardware configuration is required for the encryption accelerators. The built-in hardware encryption accelerators are enabled by default on both appliances. Installing the optional encryption accelerator card on the 100s automatically disables the built-in accelerator and enables the card. Removing the card reverses the process. You must, however, use Voyager to configure your software applications to make use of the available hardware accelerator. For details, see "" on page 69. When you order an accelerator card with the appliance, the card is installed before the appliance is delivered. This section provides instructions for installing or replacing the card at a later time. The 100s appliances use a PMC format accelerator card. The accelerator card has no external connections and requires no cables. The accelerator card software package is part of IPSO, so the appliance automatically detects and configures the card.

Note
The Nokia 60s does not support the optional encryption accelerator card.
This section contains information about the Nokia encryption accelerator card
for the Nokia 100s appliance. The card provides high-speed cryptographic
processing that enhances SSL VPN performance.
Both the 60s and 100s appliances provide built-in hardware-based encryption
acceleration. The 100s also supports an optional encryption accelerator card
to further enhance SSL VPN performance.
No hardware configuration is required for the encryption accelerators. The
built-in hardware encryption accelerators are enabled by default on both

automatically disables the built-in accelerator and enables the card. Removing
the card reverses the process.

The 100s appliances use a PMC format accelerator card. The accelerator card
has no external connections and requires no cables.
The accelerator card software package is part of IPSO, so the appliance
automatically detects and configures the card.
