Hardware installation flow
Warning:
NetBackup equipment and containers can weigh in excess of 70 lbs
(31.75 kg). Improper handling can result in injury or equipment damage. Use
appropriate techniques, tools, and materials when handling NetBackup equipment.
The hardware installation flow is as follows:
■
Unpack the devices.
■
Remove the protective film from the 3U16 storage shelf.
■
Install rack rails in the equipment racks for the appliance and 3U16 storage
shelf. The appliance height is two rack units (RU) and the 3U16 storage shelf
height is 3RU. The storage shelf is heavier than the appliance. Storage shelves
should be installed at the bottom of the rack, below the appliance.
■
Install the appliance and storage shelf into the rack rails. Screws are provided
with the hardware as needed.
■
If your appliance rails have built-in pins instead of screws, secure the pins in
the rack holes. The blue pin indicates the bottom of the rail.
■
Connect the appliance and the 3U16 storage shelf that is closest to the appliance
with SAS2 cables.
■
Connect additional 3U16 storage shelves to each other with SAS2 cables.
■
Plug the two power cables which are provided for each device into appropriate
AC power supplies.
■
Turn on the storage shelf first, and let it initialize. If you have two or more storage
shelves, turn on the storage shelf that is farthest from the appliance. When that
storage shelf has initialized turn on the other storage shelves one by one and
let them initialize.
■
Turn on the appliance.
■
Ensure that the devices operate properly.
