Appendix E: Implementing FIPS Security
Wi-Fi Arrays may be configured to satisfy the requirements for Level 2 of Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2. The procedure in this section
lists simple steps that must be followed exactly to implement FIPS 140-2, Level 2.
The procedure includes physical actions, and parameters that must be set in Web
Management Interface (WMI) windows in the Security section and in other
sections.
The following topics are discussed:
 “To implement FIPS 140-2, Level 2 using WMI” on page 461.
 “To check if an Array is in FIPS mode:” on page 464
 “To implement FIPS 140-2, Level 2 using CLI:” on page 465
To implement FIPS 140-2, Level 2 using WMI
1. Apply the supplied tamper-evident seals to the unit as indicated in the
figures below. The procedure is slightly different, depending on the
model.
• Before you apply the tamper-evident seal, clean the area of any
grease, dirt, or oil. We recommend using alcohol-based cleaning pads
for this.
• Each seal must be applied to straddle both sides of an opening so that
it will show if an attempt has been made to open the Array.
