This looks like new packaging of an old/previously-announced product.
The NIST FIPS 140 site (
http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/1401val2003.htm) does not list this
device as having undergone any FIPS validation. And from the pictures and
specs, it looks like what they did was to put one of their FIPS validated
PCI cards into a 1U rack-mount format box -- along with one or two 10/100
Ethernet connections, an LCD display, keyboard input, and some other
buttons and knobs (all of which have not gone through a FIPS validation no
doubt).
