I/O Modules Overview (TPS TXE Devices)
Use these instructions to set up the I/O modules supported in your Trend MicroTM TippingPointTM
TPS TXE security devices.

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 documentation that shipped with your product.
• Complete the installation of your TippingPoint security device.

ESD Requirements
Damage from Electromagnetic Static 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 containerthat is also grounded to the same point as the device. If you plan to return the component to thefactory, immediately place it in a static-shielding container.

I/O Module Options
TPS TXE devices support both standard I/O modules and bypass I/O modules (refer to the followingtable) for fiber and copper components.
Important: Only transceiver modules available from Trend Micro have been validated to achieve optimal
performance with TippingPoint products. Other vendor devices are not supported and could be detrimental toproper operation of the TippingPoint system.

I/O Modules Overview

1Bypass I/O modules are zero-power high-availability (ZPHA) modules that permit network traffic andservices while bypassing the device entirely when the device loses power.
Note: Fiber modules do not support auto-negotiation.
All standard I/O modules and all bypass I/O modules are hot-swappable.

Important: Handle all I/O modules with care. The bypass modules contain mechanical switches that arevery delicate and can cause network disruption if handled improperly.

4I/O Modules Overview

Add I/O Modules
TippingPoint devices come with blank modules inserted into module slots.

Figure 1. Blank Module

Warning: Do not leave slots empty for an extended period of time. Insertion of a blank module orI/O module ensures that the device is correctly cooled.
To remove the blank module, use your thumb and finger in each pocket to pinch the releasemechanism, and gently pull the module out of its chamber.
To insert an I/O module:
1. Unlock the locking lever that is attached to the faceplate at the bottom of the I/O module bypulling it open from the lever’s right side.
The locking lever must be fully opened before inserting a module. Inserting a module
without opening the locking lever can cause the module to become stuck in the slot and prevent
its removal.

CAUTION:

2. To insert the I/O module, slide the module into the empty module slot. When the module is in thecorrect position, manually close the locking lever to complete the insertion and lock the module inits slot.

Hot-Swapping I/O Modules
I/O modules can be installed or removed while the device is in the normal operating state. Hot-swapping
I/O modules during system initialization is not supported.
When you insert a bypass I/O module, the bypass I/O module always starts up in bypass mode. Abypass I/O module remains in bypass mode until you remove it from bypass mode through the CLI orSMS. For information about how to use normal mode instead of bypass mode, refer to the SMS or CLIdocumentation.
