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.

method is to:
1.
Go to
http://www.hp.com/support/manuals
