This book, and the other books in this series, follow some conventions for structuring information.
Headings
Every chapter starts with a brief description of the information you can find in that chapter, which
correlates with the major headings in that chapter. Each major heading corresponds to a task or
concept that is important for you to understand. Headings are of a different size and type to make them

Code Used for text a user must type to use the product.
Italic Used for book titles, variables, and important term.
Hyperlink Used for web site and cross reference links.
Cross References
When a topic is covered in depth elsewhere in this guide, or in another book in this series, a cross
reference to the other information will be provided. Cross references within this book will take the

publications will take the form: “for more information about <topic>, see Publication Name.”
Messages
Messages are special text that are emphasized by font, format, and icons. There are four types of
messages in this book:
•Warning
•Caution
•Note
•Tip

xiv TippingPoint IPS Hardware Installation and Safety Guide
A description of each message type with an example message follows.
Warning
Warnings tell you how to avoid physical injury to people or equipment. For people, injury includes
anything from temporary conditions, such as pain, to irreversible conditions such as death. For
equipment, injury means anything requiring repair. Warnings tell you what you should or should not
do, and the consequences of not heeding the warning.
Warnings have an icon to the left showing a white lightning bolt drawn inside of a red octagon.
Warnings also start with the word “WARNING”, and are presented in bold face type.
Caution
Cautions tell you how to avoid a serious loss that stops short of physical damage such as the loss of data,
time, or security. Cautions tell you what you should or should not do to avoid such losses, and the
consequences of not heeding the caution.
Cautions have an icon to the left showing a black exclamation point drawn inside of a yellow triangle.
Cautions also start with the word “CAUTION”.
Note
Notes tell you about information that might not be obvious, or that does not relate directly to the
current topic, but that may affect relevant behavior.
A note has an icon to the left showing a piece of note paper, and starts with the word “Note”.
WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should install, replace, or
service this equipment. Disconnect the system before servicing.
CAUTION: Do not type del *.* from the root (C:\) directory. Typing del *.* from the root
directory will destroy all the program and configuration data that your computer needs to
run, and will render your system inoperable.
Note: Most car rental companies no longer allow cash deposits in lieu of a credit
card when renting a car. Non-credit card deposits can only be arranged by a
lengthy application and approval process.

TippingPoint IPS Hardware Installation and Safety Guide xv
Tip
Tips are suggestions about how you can perform a task more easily or more efficiently.
A tip has an icon to the left showing a light bulb drawn inside and starts with the word “Tip”.
Related Documentation
The UnityOne™ systems have a full set of documentation. These publications are available in
electronic format on your installation CDs. For the most recent updates, check the Threat
Management Center (TMC) web site at https://tmc.tippingpoint.com.
Tip: Setting the logging parameter to “off” or “minimal” will improve your
system’s processing performance, but it will make debugging very difficult in the
event of a system crash. During system integration, you can set logging to “full” to
ease debugging. After you have finished testing, set logging to “minimal” to
improve performance.
