architecture and has a different service and maintenance model. It is not described in this guide.
Performance best practices
HP recommends that you review the Best Practices for Perfomance Optimization White Paper,
describing simple steps that can be performed to ensure that your HP D2D Backup System is
optimized as efficiently as possible.
You can view this white paper from http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. Search for "D2D" and
your specific product. The white papers are shown under the 'White paper' section.
HP D2D and HP ProLiant
The information in the appropriate ProLiant Maintenance and Service Guide should be the primary
reference source for hardware issues on the related D2D Backup System. Spare part numbers are
available in the ProLiant guides. This guide contains only information that is not included in the
ProLiant documentation.

NOTE:The software and, in some cases, the BIOS are unique to the HP D2D Backup System; it
does not use the same software (nor, in some cases, BIOS) as the ProLiant server.
There are a number of ways of accessing the ProLiant documentation on the HP web. A quick
method is to:
1.Go to http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
2.Search on the ProLiant server name, as shown in Table 1.
How do I tell whether I have a G1 or G2 product?
In later revisions of D2D software, the Summary Page of the Web Management Interface will tell
you the Type of product".
The product model number also identifies whether it is a G1 or a G2 product. This number can
be found on the product label (you may need to remove the product from the rack to locate the
label).
