Install the interface module on an up and running Sensor
This section provides the steps to install the interface module on a Sensor which is up and running.
1. Power on the Sensor without inserting the pluggable module(s) into the slot(s).
2. Establish trust between the Sensor and the IPS Manager.
3. Grip the sides of the module with your thumb and forenger and insert the module into the slot.
4. Wait for 5 minutes.
5. Reboot the Sensor from the CLI.

Remove an interface module
Perform these steps if you need to remove an interface module.
1. Disconnect the network ber optic cable from the module.
2. Remove the transceivers from the module.
3. Unscrew the interface modules to detach them from the Sensor.
4. Place the module into its protective packaging.

Small form-factor pluggable transceiver modules
The NS-series Sensors use four types of small form-factor pluggable transceiver modules as shown in the following table. For
more information, see the section NS-series Transceiver Modules in Trellix Intrusion Prevention System NS-series Reference Guide.
Type Performance
SFP 1 Gbps (copper)
1 Gbps (ber optic)
SFP+ 10 Gbps (ber optic)
QSFP+ 40 Gbps (ber optic)
QSFP28 100 Gbps (ber optic)
Each module is an input/output device that plugs into an LC-type Gigabit Ethernet port, linking the module port with a copper or
ber-optic network. SFP optical interfaces are less than half the size of GBIC interfaces.
