Before you begin
• Review the release notes for your product on the TippingPoint online Threat Management Center
(TMC) at https://tmc.tippingpoint.com for any late-breaking changes to the installation instructions.
• Read and follow all safety information listed in the TippingPoint Hardware Safety and Compliance Guide that
shipped with your product.
• Complete the installation of your TippingPoint security device.
ESD requirements
Damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can occur when electronic components are improperly
handled. Improper handling can result in complete or intermittent system failures. Proper ESD protection is
required whenever you handle equipment. The following general grounding guidelines apply:
• Always use an ESD wrist strap when adding or removing components from the chassis.
• Avoid touching the circuit boards or connectors on all cards and modules.
• Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects
components from ESD voltages on the body. ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container that is
also grounded to the same point as the IPS. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately
place it in a static-shielding container.
I/O module options
TippingPoint devices with module slots support both standard I/O modules and bypass I/O modules.
Refer to the following table for fiber and copper components.
Important: Only optical transceiver modules (including SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+) available from
TippingPoint have been validated to achieve optimal performance with TippingPoint products.
Other vendor devices are not supported. Using other vendor devices could be detrimental to
proper operation of the TippingPoint system.
