6. Perform optional additional system configuration
1. Unpack the Data Domain system. A system consists of a DD660
controller with 12 TB internal storage and up to 24 TB raw storage in
optional ES20 expansion shelves.
4Open the packing boxes for the controller and optional expansion shelf
or shelves.
4Remove the accessories and rack mount kits for all system components.
2. Install the appropriate rack mounting hardware for the
controller and ES20s into a 19-inch, four-post rack. Ensure that the rack is
securely anchored to prevent tipping. Load the rack or cabinet, beginning
at the bottom to prevent the rack from becoming top-heavy. Be sure to
plan appropriate vertical space to accommodate the 2U controller and 3U
for each ES20 expansion shelf.
4See the instructions included with the slide rails. See Figure 1.
4The ES20 slide rails also include rack installation instructions.
3. Install the controller and expansion shelves in the rack.
4Remove the controller and ES20s from the shipping boxes.
4Remove the bezel from each component.
4Install each component horizontally on the corresponding slide rails
and slide in the rack in the order described in the Expansion Shelf
Hardware Guide. Be sure one person is at each side of each of the
component to guide it into the rail ends.
4Secure the components in the rack with the thumb screws.
4. Connect ES20 shelves to the controller. Connect the controller’s
SAS ports to the ES20 shelves based on the cabling diagrams for expansion shelf connectivity. See Figures 6 and 7. Use the cable management
hardware provided to organize all cables.
5. Connect an administrative console. Attach a serial console to the
controller’s serial port, or use KVM connections to connect monitor (VGA
port), keyboard and mouse. See Figure 2.
6. Enable data transfer connectivity. Repeat for each connection.
4Ethernet connection: To use 1 Gb copper Ethernet, attach a Cat
5e or Cat 6 copper Ethernet cable to an RJ45 Ethernet network port
(start with eth0 and go up) on the controller. Attach the other end
to an Ethernet switch or to an Ethernet port on your server. For 1 Gb
fiber Ethernet, use multimode fiber cables with LC connectors. For 10
Gb copper Ethernet with a CX4 connector, use an IEEE draft standard
802.3ak / D5.3 compliant cable or a Data Domain CX4 cable. Not all
CX4 cables qualify. For 10 Gb copper Ethernet with SFP+ connectors,
use a qualified SFP+ copper cable. For 10 Gb fiber Ethernet, use MMF850nm cables with LC duplex connectors. See Figure 2.
4Fibre Channel connection: Attach a Fibre Channel fiber optical
cable (LC connector) to a VTL HBA port on the controller, and attach
the other end (LC connector) to a Fibre Channel switch or to a Fibre
Channel port on your server. See Figure 2 for PCI card locations for the
VTL HBAs.
7. Provide redundant power to the system.
4Controller power: Connect power cables to both receptacles and set
the power cable retention clips. See Figure 2.
4ES20 power: Connect power cables to both receptacles and set the
power cable retention clips. See Figure 5.
8. Turn the system on. Power on any ES20s before the controller.
4ES20 power: Turn the power switch to on for each of the two power
supplies for each ES20 expansion shelf. See Figure 5.
4Wait approximately 3 minutes after all expansion shelves are turned on.
4Controller power: Push the power button. See Figure 3.
4Attach the bezels.
9. Collect the information needed for installation. Enter the
information in section 2 on the other side of this sheet.
Safety
All plug-in modules and blank plates are part of the
fire enclosure and must be removed only when a
replacement can be added immediately. The system
must not be run without all parts in place.
4A controller or a shelf must be operated only
from a power supply input voltage range of
100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz.
4Each component is intended to operate with
two working power supplies installed.
4Provide a suitable power source with electrical
overload protection.
4A safe electrical earth connection must be pro-
vided to the power cord. Check the grounding
of the power sources before applying power.
4The plug on each power supply cord is used
as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the
socket outlets are located near the equipment
and are easily accessible.
4Permanently unplug the unit if you think it is
damaged in any way and before moving it. If
the unit is powered by multiple sources, disconnect all supplied power for complete isolation.
4The power connections must always be
disconnected prior to removal or replacement
of a power supply module from any of the
components in the system.
4A faulty power supply module must be replaced
within 24 hours.
4Do not lift system components by yourself. A
controller weighs 66 lbs (30 kg) and an ES20
expansion shelf weighs 78 lbs (35.5 kg).
4Do not lift an ES20 by the handles on the PSU/
cooling module. The handles are not designed
to support the weight of the populated shelf.
4To comply with applicable safety, emission,
and thermal requirements, covers must not
be removed and all bays must be fitted with
plug-in modules.
4Load the rack beginning at the bottom to
prevent the rack from becoming top-heavy.
4Do not extend components on slide rails until
you have loaded at least three or more similarly
weighted items in the rack, or unless the rack
is bolted to the floor or overhead structure to
prevent tipping.
Warning: When the system is in normal use, the
system controller top cover must be secured by
rotating the lock 90° to the locked position to prevent
users or operators from accessing the service areas.
Caution: If the system is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
Caution: The RJ45 sockets on the motherboard/PCI
cards are for Ethernet connection only and must not be
connected to a telecommunications network.
ESD PRECAUTIONS
Data Domain recommends that you fit and check a
suitable antistatic wrist or ankle strap and observe
all conventional ESD precautions when handling
plug-in modules and components.
