About the cables
Country-specific AC power cords are shipped for each power supply that is installed
in NetBackup hardware.
Each storage shelf comes with two SAS cables to connect the shelf to the appliance.
Symantec provides the SFP connectors for the systems that ship with FC HBA
cards installed. Customers can order approved 10Gb E connectors separately.
Only the connectors that Symantec provides should be used. In general, Symantec
does not provide Ethernet or fibre cables.
Note:
For Beta, FC cables are provided to connect the media servers with the
storage system when the components are preinstalled in a rack. The customer
must provide any additional FC cables that are desired.
About rack mounting
Warning:
NetBackup system components can weigh more than 68 lbs (30.84 kg).
Lifting and moving these components can result in bodily injury. Use appropriate
tools and technique when lifting and moving NetBackup system components.
NetBackup Appliances and Symantec Storage Systems fit into a standard EIA-310D
mounting rack. When appliances and storage systems are installed in the same
rack, care must be taken regarding the weight differentials between the systems.
Top-heavy installation can destabilize the rack causing it to fall. The rack is
particularly vulnerable when a heavier system that is installed in a high slot is
pulled out for maintenance or repair. Install the heaviest systems at the bottom
of the rack. Always install Symantec Storage Systems at the bottom of the rack.
Caution:
To ensure rack stability, install the heaviest units at the bottom of the
rack. Always install Symantec Storage Shelves first and start at the bottom of the
rack. When maintenance requires sliding the unit forward on the rails, make sure
that doing so does not destabilize the rack.
NetBackup appliances and storage systems are shipped with rail kits to mount
the units in a rack. These kits use a slide mechanism that lets you slide the system
in and out of the rack when you work on the system. Refer to the rail mounting
instructions that ship with the kit for information about mounting systems in a
rack.
