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).
