Data Domain systems are heavy. Always use two people or a mechanical lift to
move a system.

Rails and cable management assembly
The rail kit is universal in that it supports all rack mounting hole types and sizes. Both
the front and the rear ends of the rail kit contain threaded posts that come with a cap
installed. The cap fits square and round hole unthreaded racks. Large flat headed M4
screws insert through the rail into the rail kit to secure the rail to the rack.
When installing rails, do not tighten the screws all the way until all the screws are in
place. This assures that the screws are all screwed in the same distance, and prevents
one from skewing the others.
The rail kit includes two bracket assemblies, one marked for the left side and one
marked for the right side of the rack.
A cable management assembly (CMA), for organization of cables at the rear of the
system, is already installed onto the system on a Data Domain rack. For field installed
systems, the CMA is shipped with the system.
