```
where:

-keyName is the key created on the HSM by using third party tools.

-serialNum is the serial number of the partition on the HSM on which the keys are generated.

Note: For HSM in a high availability setup, use the serial number of the high availability group.

-password is the password of the partition on which the keys are present.

Navigate to Traffic Management > SSL > HSM and add an HSM key. You must specify the HSM Type as SAFENET.

At the command prompt, type:
```
add ssl certkey <CertkeyName> -cert <cert name> -hsmkey <KeyName>

```
