Document purpose
This installation guide provides instructions for installing the hardware associated with
PowerProtect systems. Systems are shipped to the customer site either pre-installed in a rack
(factory-racked) or as separate components to install in an existing rack at the site (field-
installed). This guide provides instructions for both types of installation.
This document is intended for customers or Dell EMC Support personnel who are qualified to
install PowerProtect systems.
Field-installed systems
To install PowerProtect systems in an existing rack at the customer site, follow all the instructions
in this document to rack, cable, and configure the system.
Factory-racked systems
Factory-racked systems are pre-installed in the rack with the cables already connected. Follow the
instructions in Configure System for Use on page 71 to configure factory-racked systems.
The following documents, available from the Online Support website, provide additional
