System Grounding Requirements

Damage from Electromagnetic Static Discharge (ESD) can occur when electronic components are improperly handled. Its results can be complete or intermittent system failures. Therefore, proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle IPS devices and equipment. It is not necessary to open the UnityOne ZPHA chassis to add or remove any components.

Note: When you install the ZPHA, you do not need to modify or open the IPS chassis. You will only need to connect cables during installation procedures.

Cabling Requirements

The UnityOne ZPHA requires the following cables:

•USB cable — 1 cable for connecting to the IPS to receive power (included with device)

•RJ-45 copper network cables — 4 cables are required per segment:2 for IPS connections and 2 for network connections. (cables not included)

•LC-LC Simplex Multi-mode Fiber cables — 4 per segment (included with device). Additionally, you should have 4 cables currently with your IPS device to connect to the ZPHA and/or Ethernet switch.

Note: For Simplex Single-mode Fiber cables, contact a TippingPoint Sales

Representative.
