From this Web site you can download the software packages for the IBM 4764 PCI-X Cryptographic Coprocessor for either the Linux for System x 86Series or Windows Server 2003 server platforms. You can download the IBM CCA Support Program on an IBM ServerProven™ server with the following operating systems:
- Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit)
- SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 9 from Novell® (32-bit)
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 from Novell (32-bit; Release 3.30.04 or later)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 (Release 3.30.05 or later)
This package includes both host software and coprocessor firmware. You can also download the CCA host software to support the coprocessor when used on System z servers running supported versions of the Linux operating system. (Note that you obtain software for the Coprocessor features on IBM System z™ running z/OS, for System i™, and for System p™ servers from the z/OS, OS/400 and AIX organizations, respectively.)

Using subsequent Web pages, you can complete a registration process and then download the software that you require.
To obtain the software that you require, follow these steps:
- You may wish to use your browser to print this page and make notes on your printed copy.
- Determine the software items that you will require by reviewing the following information.
- Complete the registration procedure (see below). The information that you provide enables IBM to comply with USA governmental requirements pertaining to the export of cryptographic implementations.
- When you have completed the registration procedure, you will have access to a menu of software items that you can download.
- Instructions in the CCA Support Program installation manuals describe how to install the downloaded software. You can obtain these manuals from the Library page. Read the manual to be sure that you know how to proceed.
Special note to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 operating system installers: Ensure that libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm (found in the Server directory on disk 2 of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 distribution media) is available on the target Red Hat system prior to installation of Release 3.30.05 of the CCA Support Program. The libXp rpm does not get installed by default and is required by the Installshield GUI installation. Not having the rpm results in the error "The installer is unable to run in graphical mode."
Which software items should I download?
- Linux users should download the current release of the CCA Support Program for Linux package.
- Windows users should download the current release of the CCA Support Program for Windows package.
After you have determined the software download packages that you require, check for any known problems and software updates.
