Determine total rack space
Before you install the chassis, determine the total rack space required to install your system. The total required rack space
increases if you plan to install multiple systems.
The device fits in a 19-inch-wide rack (or a 23-inch-wide rack, with appropriate conversion parts available from rack accessory
vendors). For more information about the dimensions of the device, refer to the technical specifications and requirements for
your model.
Attach the device to the rack
Unpack the accessory kit and the slide rail assemby kit that shipped with your security device and review the installation
documentation.
If the rack is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom. During
initial installation, make sure to evenly distribute the weight so that the rack is stable.
Important
Always use a four-post mount for four-post racks.
If you plan to expand your system to include additional TippingPoint systems in the future, allow space in the rack for
additions. During the initial installation, keep in mind the weight distribution and stability of the rack.
Install the external storage card
For TPS 440T and 2200T security devices, install the CFast card that was packaged with your product into the empty slot on
the front panel of the device. Use this pre-formatted, hot-swappable user disk to store system logs, snapshots, and other
system data.
The external SSD module comes pre-installed in the TPS 8200TX and 8400TX security devices. If you have a TPS TX Series
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.
