The Status LED is green when the module is powered and running normally.
When the AC power supply has been securely placed in the device, use the following procedure to connect
power to the AC power supply:
1. Locate the male power input on the back of the chassis.
2. Plug one end of a standard female power plug into the power input.
3. Plug the other end into an AC outlet, power strip, or UPS.
The power should meet the following requirements:
• Voltage: 100 – 240 VAC
• Current: 12 – 6 Amps
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
4. The NX-Platform device returns to its previous power-on state in the event of a power interruption.
If power was on when the interruption occurred, the device automatically powers back on when the
power is reconnected; if power was off, the device stays off when the power is reconnected. If necessary,
power on the device with the button on the front of the chassis.

Describes how to install the DC power supply.
DC power supplies are available for the TippingPoint N-Platform. Consult your TippingPoint account
contact for more information if you require a DC power supply.
The NX-Platform DC power supply is similar to the NX-Platform AC power supply, except that it includes
a power input terminal block.
Warning!
When installing the product, always make the ground connection before applying power to
the unit. This equipment needs to be grounded to an external ground connection. Use a green
and yellow 12 AWG ground wire to connect the host to earth ground during normal use.
Disconnect the ground connection only when the unit is completely powered down.
