Power requirements

The 8200TX and 8400TX devices require Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC) that meets the following
requirements:

• AC: Voltage 100V to 240V; 12 to 6A; 47 to 63 Hz

• DC: Voltage -40V to -60V; 24 to 16A

The TX Series devices ship with two AC power supplies. Consult your TippingPoint account contact for more information if
you require a DC power supply.

Cabling requirements

The TPS 8200TX and 8400TX devices ship with the following cables:

• Two AC power cables, one for each hot-swappable power supply

• Null modem cable (USB to RJ-45) for the serial console management port

I/O module installation

Use the following topics to set up the I/O modules supported in TippingPoint security devices:

• Before you begin

• ESD requirements

• I/O module options

7

TPS Hardware Specification and Installation

• Module LEDs

• I/O module replacement

• Supported transceivers and cables for TippingPoint I/O modules

Before you begin

• Review the release notes for your product 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 you handle electronic components improperly. Improper
handling can also result in complete or intermittent system failures. Use proper ESD protection whenever you handle
equipment. Following these general grounding guidelines:

• Always use an ESD wrist strap when you add or remove 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 device. 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.

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.

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.

the software.

The module is experiencing a fault.

Module in bypass.

Module in normal mode (not in bypass).

I/O module replacement

On a TPS 8200TX and 8400TX 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.

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

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

• The module port configuration is always reset.

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

preserved. If you swap the module with a different type of module, be sure to verify that your segment configuration
settings have persisted.

10

TPS Hardware Specification and Installation

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.

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.

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. For information about how to use normal mode instead of bypass mode,
refer to the SMS, LSM, or CLI documentation.

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.

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 Install your power supply module documentation.

To connect the power supply

21

TPS Hardware Specification and Installation

Procedure

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. Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC

outlet, power strip, or UPS.

Add the I/O modules – TPS TX Series

TPS TX Series devices come with blank modules inserted into I/O module slots. The TPS 8200TX provides two I/O slots
and the TPS 8400TX provides four I/O slots.

WARNING!

Do not leave slots empty for an extended period of time. Insert a blank module or I/O module so that the device can be correctly
cooled. Learn more about I/O module installation.

Procedure

1. To remove the blank module, slide the slide latch (1) to the right and pull on the handle (2 on left module) or grab point
(2 on right module).

CAUTION!

Never lift your device using the module handles.

2. To insert an I/O module, slide the module into the empty module slot.

When the module is in the correct position, the slide latch automatically slides into position.

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 device
does not change the bypass mode of the bypass I/O module. For information about how to use normal mode instead of
bypass mode, refer to the SMS, LSM, or CLI documentation.
