Threat Protection System Hardware Specification and Installation Guide 3
Overview
The TippingPoint Threat Protection System (TPS) is a high-performance, enterprise-class solution that
protects your network by scanning, detecting, and responding to network traffic according to the filters,
action sets, and global settings maintained on each device by a client.
The TPS offers higher throughput and improved technology that is optimized for high resiliency, high
availability, and network segment protection from both external and internal attacks.
You can install as many TPS security devices as you need to strategically protect your network enterprise
zones. A local client on the device monitors and manages activity. Alternatively, you can manage devices by
using the Security Management System (SMS) console.
Information about each TPS product is covered in the following sections:
•TPS TX Series devices on page 3
•TPS 2200T device on page 5
•TPS 440T device on page 6
For information about the Virtual Threat Protection System (vTPS) security device, see the product
documentation on the TMC at https://tmc.tippingpoint.com.

(L2FB) mode.
◦ Off: Indicates that the device is not in L2FB mode.
•
System health status
◦ Flashing green: Indicates that the system is booting up, and is not yet ready to inspect traffic.
◦ Solid green: Indicates that the system is healthy.

Threat Protection System Hardware Specification and Installation Guide 13
◦ Red: Indicates that the system is experiencing a health alert, such as a fan failure. This state resets to
solid green when you view the system log.
• Management port status
◦ Link LED: Solid green indicates that the port is linked and ready for data.
◦ Activity LED: Flashing amber indicates that the port is passing data.
• Power button status
◦ Off: Indicates that the system is off.
◦ Solid green: Indicates that the system is on.
Model requirements
The following topics describe specific requirements for the TPS TX Series devices.
•Power requirements on page 13
•Cabling requirements on page 25
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. DC power supplies are also available for the
device. 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 shown in Figure 6 on page
11
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:

14 Threat Protection System Hardware Specification and Installation Guide
•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.
