Step 1. Determine total rack space
Before you install the chassis, determine the total rack space that is required to install your device.
The required rack space will increase if you plan to install multiple devices. If you plan to expand your
security solution to include stacking or additional devices in the future, allow space in the rack for
additions.
TippingPoint security devices fit in a 19-inch rack. When you use additional, appropriate accessories,
each device also fits in a 23-inch rack.
