Cisco ISE and FIPS-Compliance
This release of the supported Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE-3300 series) appliances are non-FIPS
compliant Linux-based network hardware platforms. In Release 1.0, the Cisco ISE operating system
comprises a hardened Linux kernel based on CentOS 5.3, and runs the Application Deployment Engine
operating system (ADE-OS) version 2.0 and the Cisco ISE Release 1.0 system software.
The ADE-OS and Cisco ISE system software run on either a dedicated Cisco Identity Services Engine
appliance or on a VMware server (Cisco ISE-VM-K9). Cisco ISE does not support the installation of
any other packages or applications on this dedicated platform. FIPS 140-2 compliance will be addressed
in future releases of Cisco ISE.
Cisco ISE Release 1.0 only supports installations on the following Cisco ISE 3300-series appliance
platforms:
•ISE-3315
•ISE-3355

Input/Output Ports and Connectors
Cisco Product Identification Tool
The Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool helps you retrieve the serial number of your Cisco products.
Before you submit a request for service online or by phone, use the CPI tool to locate your product serial
number. You can access this tool from the Cisco Support website at:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/CPI/index.do
There are two prerequisites to being able to access the CPI tool:
•You must have a valid service contract with Cisco.
•You must have a valid Cisco.com user ID and password.
If you have a valid service contract, but do not have a user ID or password, you can re-register at:
http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do
After you have met the prerequisites, perform the following to access this tool:
Step 1 Click the Get Tools & Resources link.
Step 2 Click the All Tools (A-Z) tab.
Step 3 Select Cisco Product Identification Tool from the alphabetical drop-down list.
This tool offers three search options:
•Search by product ID or model name.
•Browse for Cisco model.
•Copy and paste the output of the show command to identify the product.
Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted.
Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before you place a
service call.
Input/Output Ports and Connectors
The ISE-3300 series appliances support the following types of Input/Output connectors:
•Two Gigabit Ethernet ports (on the rear panel)
•One serial port (on the rear panel)
•USB 2.0 ports (2 on the front panel, 2 on the rear panel)
Warning To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network
voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some
LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
