Threat Protection System Hardware Specification and Installation Guide 35
The device fits in a 19-inch-wide rack (or a 23-inch-wide rack, with appropriate conversion parts available
from rack accessory vendors). For more information about the dimensions of the device, refer to the
technical specifications and requirements for your model.
Attach the device to the rack
Unpack the accessory kit and the slide rail assemby kit that shipped with your security appliance and review
the installation documentation.
If the rack is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the
bottom. During initial installation, make sure to evenly distribute the weight so that the rack is stable.
Important: Always use a four-post mount for four-post racks.
If you plan to expand your system to include additional TippingPoint systems in the future, allow space in
the rack for additions. During the initial installation, keep in mind the weight distribution and stability of the
rack.
Install the external storage card
For TPS 440T and 2200T security devices, install the CFast card that was packaged with your product into
the empty slot on the front panel of the device. This pre-formatted, hot-swappable user disk can store
system logs, snapshots, and other system data.
For TPS 8200TX and 8400TX security devices, the external SSD module is installed with the product. If you
have a TPS TX Series device, you can skip this step.
Connect the power supply
After you have bolted the device to the rack, attach the power supply AC connections. Do not turn on the
device until you have completed all of the remaining installation steps.
The TPS 2200T, 8200TX, and 8400TX security devices require the use of one power cord to turn on the
device. Use a second power cord for redundancy. For maximum protection, use different power circuit feeds
for each power cord.
Note: The TPS 440T provides a single power supply.
When you install DC power, always install the safety ground cable before connecting the power supply. For
DC power connection details, refer to the product hardware documentation.
To connect the power supply
1. Locate the power inlets on the back of the chassis.
2. Plug the female end of a standard power cord into the power inlet and plug the other end of the power
cord into an AC outlet, power strip, or UPS.
