Trend Micro I/O Module

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 container that is also grounded to the same point as the device. If you plan to return the component to the factory, 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 following table) for fiber and copper components.
