I/O module installation

Use these instructions to set up the I/O modules supported in TippingPoint security devices.

This section includes the following topics:

Threat Protection System Hardware Specification and Installation Guide 13

• Before you begin on page 14

• ESD requirements on page 14

• I/O module options on page 14

• Module LEDs on page 16

• I/O module replacement on page 17

• Supported transceivers and cables for TippingPoint I/O modules on page 18

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.

14 Threat Protection System Hardware Specification and Installation Guide

Bypass I/O modules are zero-power high-availability (ZPHA) modules that permit network traffic and
services while bypassing the device entirely when the device loses power.

All four standard I/O modules and all five bypass I/O modules are hot-swappable on devices running
TippingPoint Operating System (TOS) v3.6.0 or higher.

For more information on the I/O modules, refer to the product hardware documentation for your
TippingPoint device.

I/O module replacement

On a TPS TX Series device, hot swapping allows you to add, remove, or replace an I/O module without
shutting down the device. When the device is turned on, you can hot swap an I/O module without
interruption to the TPS device.

Note: Hot-swapping I/O modules during system initialization is not supported.

When you hot swap an I/O module, keep the following points in mind:

• The module port configuration is always reset.

• The module segment configuration, including link-down synchronization, Intrinsic HA, and inspection
bypass, is always preserved.

When the device is turned off, cold swapping allows you to add, remove, or replace an I/O module as you
would when you hot swap. However, when you cold swap an I/O module, if the replacement module type is
the same, the module port configuration is preserved.

Threat Protection System Hardware Specification and Installation Guide 17

When the device is managed by the SMS, a delay of up to 1 minute can occur before the SMS recognizes the
changed I/O module.

Note: When you insert a bypass I/O module, the bypass I/O module always starts up in bypass mode. A

bypass I/O module remains in bypass mode until you remove it from bypass mode through the CLI,
LSM, or SMS. Rebooting the TPS does not change the bypass mode of the bypass I/O module.

External user disk

This information describes the external user disk (CFast or SSD) and provides the following topics:

• External SSD on page 50

• External CFast storage card on page 50

• External user disk commands on page 51

External SSD

The TPS TX Series devices come with a pre-formatted external SSD.

Note: Only SSDs available from TippingPoint have been validated to achieve optimal performance with

TippingPoint products. Other vendor drives are not supported. Using other vendor drives could be
detrimental to proper operation of the TippingPoint system.

The external SSD is a 32 GB drive that stores traffic logs, snapshots, and other system data.

Caution:

You can replace the SSD when the system is operating. Before you remove the SSD, use the device CLI to
first unmount the drive. For more information, External user disk commands on page 51.

Important: After you insert a new SSD module into the SSD slot, be sure to mount the user disk. Failure

Failure to properly remove the TippingPoint SSD can result in disk corruption and a system
error.

to mount the user disk prevents the device from automatically mounting the disk when the
device is rebooted.

External CFast storage card

The TPS 440T and 2200T devices come with a pre-formatted external CFast storage card.

Note: Only CFast cards available from TippingPoint have been validated to achieve optimal performance

with TippingPoint products. Other vendor cards are not supported. Using other vendor cards could
be detrimental to proper operation of the TippingPoint system.

The external CFast card is an 8 GB card that stores traffic logs, snapshots, and other system data.

Caution:

Failure to properly remove the TippingPoint CFast card can result in disk corruption and a
system error.

You can replace the CFast card when the system is operating. Before you remove the card, use the device
CLI to first unmount the user disk. For more information, see External user disk commands on page 51.
