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

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:

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.
