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.

A controller or a shelf must be operated only 
from a power supply input voltage range of 
100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz.

Each component is intended to operate with 
two working power supplies installed. 

Provide a suitable power source with electrical 
overload protection.

A safe electrical earth connection must be pro-
vided to the power cord. Check the grounding 
of the power sources before applying power.

The 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.

Permanently unplug the unit if you think it is 
damaged in any way and before moving it. If 
the unit is powered by multiple sources, discon-
nect all supplied power for complete isolation.

The power connections must always be 
disconnected prior to removal or replacement 
of a power supply module from any of the 
components in the system.

A faulty power supply module must be replaced 
within 24 hours.

Do not lift system components by yourself. A 
controller weighs up to 52 lbs (23.6 kg) and an 
expansion shelf weighs up to 78 lbs (35.5 kg). 

Do not lift an expansion shelf by the handles on 
any modules. The handles are not designed to 
support the weight of the populated shelf.

To comply with applicable safety, emission, 
and thermal requirements, covers must not 
be removed and all bays must be fitted with 
plug-in modules.

Load the rack beginning at the bottom to 
prevent the rack from becoming top-heavy.

Do 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.

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.

Safety

The steps for a complete installation and configuration are:

1. 

Install hardware

2. 

Define the Data Domain system information for your site

3. 

Perform initial system configuration

4. 

Configure the system for data access

5. 

Configure optional software

6. 

Perform optional additional system configuration

1.  Unpack the Data Domain system.

 

A system consists of a DD860 

Archiver controller and up to 768 TB of raw storage in optional expan-
sion shelves.

Open the packing boxes for the controller and optional expansion shelf 
or shelves.

Remove the accessories and rack mount kits for all system components.

2.  Install the appropriate rack mounting hardware

 for the 

controller and expansion shelves 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 expansion shelf. 

See the instructions included with the slide rails.

The expansion shelf rails also include rack installation instructions.

3.  Install the controller and expansion shelves in the rack.

Remove the controller and expansion shelves from the shipping boxes.

Remove the bezel from each component.

Install each component horizontally on the corresponding rails and 
slide into the rack in the order described in the 

Expansion Shelf 

Hardware Guide

. Be sure one person is at each side of each compo-

nent for proper and safe installation. 

Secure the components in the rack; see respective hardware manual.

4.  Connect expansion shelves to the controller.

 Connect the 

controller’s SAS ports to the expansion shelves based on the cabling 
diagrams for expansion shelf connectivity. See Figures 5 or 6. Use the Cable 
Management Bar and Velcro strips to support and 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 1.

6.  Enable data transfer connectivity. 

Repeat for each connection. 

Ethernet connection:

 If using 1 Gb copper Ethernet, attach a Cat 5e 

or Cat 6 copper Ethernet cable to an RJ45 Ethernet network port (start 
with eth0a and go up) on the controller, and attach the other end to 
an Ethernet switch or to an Ethernet port on your server. If using  
1 Gb fiber Ethernet, use multimode fiber cables with LC connectors. If 
using 10 Gb copper Ethernet with an SFP+ connector, use a qualified 
SFP+ copper cable. If using 10 Gb fiber Ethernet, use MMF-850nm 
cables with LC duplex connectors. See Figure 1.

7.  Provide redundant power to the system.

Controller power:

 Connect power cables to both receptacles. See 

Figure 1. On each cable, attach the cable restraint tie.

Expansion shelf power: 

Connect power cables to both receptacles 

and attach the power cable retention clips. See Figure 4.

8.  Turn the system on. 

Power on any expansion shelves before the 

controller. The ES30 powers on when plugged in.

ES20 power:

 Turn the power switch to 

on

 for each of the two power 

supplies for each ES20 shelf. See Figure 3.

Wait approximately 3 minutes after all expansion shelves are turned on.

Controller power:

 Push the power button. See Figure 2.

Attach the bezels.

9.  Collect the information needed for installation.

 Record the 

information in Section 2 of this document.
