UnityOne Modular Fiber/Copper ZPHA Installation Guide V 2.1 3
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.
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.
Unpack the UnityOne ZPHA
Each system chassis is securely packaged in a shipping box.
To unpack the ZPHA system, complete the following steps:
STEP 1 Inspect the packing container. If you see any damage or other signs of mishandling, inform
both the local freight provider and TippingPoint before unpacking. Your freight provider can
provide you with the procedures necessary to file a claim for damages.
STEP 2 Carefully open the box.
STEP 3 Remove all packing material.
STEP 4 Verify the contents in the shipping package. Compare the packing list to your shipment and to
your order. Are all items included? If items are missing, contact your TippingPoint sales or
field representative.
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.
Note: For Simplex Single-mode Fiber cables, contact a TippingPoint Sales
Representative.
CAUTION: ESD can damage the UnityOne if you do not take necessary precautions.
Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to
eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment.
Use caution when opening the UnityOne boxes.
