All plug-in modules and blank plates are part of the
fire enclosure and must be removed only when a
replacement can be added immediately. The system
must not be run without all parts in place.
4A controller or a shelf must be operated only
from a power supply input voltage range of
100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz.
4Each component is intended to operate with all
working power supplies installed.
4Provide a suitable power source with electrical
overload protection.
4A safe electrical earth connection must be pro-
vided to the power cord. Check the grounding
of the power sources before applying power.
4The plug on each power supply cord is used
as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the
socket outlets are located near the equipment
and are easily accessible.
4Permanently unplug the unit if you think it is
damaged in any way and before moving it. If
the unit is powered by multiple sources, discon-
nect all supplied power for complete isolation.
4The power connections must always be
disconnected prior to removal or replacement
of a power supply module from any of the
components in the system.
4A faulty power supply module must be replaced
within 24 hours.
4Do not lift system components by yourself. A
controller weighs up to 110 lbs (50.0 kg) and an
expansion shelf weighs up to 78 lbs (35.5 kg).
4Do not lift an expansion shelf by the handles on
any modules. The handles are not designed to
support the weight of the populated shelf.
4To comply with applicable safety, emission,
and thermal requirements, covers must not
be removed and all bays must be fitted with
plug-in modules.
4Load the rack beginning at the bottom to
prevent the rack from becoming top-heavy.
4Do not extend components on slide rails until
you have loaded at least three or more similarly
weighted items in the rack, or unless the rack
is bolted to the floor or overhead structure to
prevent tipping.
Caution: If the system is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided
by the equipment may be impaired.
Caution: The RJ45 sockets on the motherboard/PCI
cards are for Ethernet connection only and must not be
connected to a telecommunications network.
ESD PRECAUTIONS
Data Domain recommends that you fit and check a
suitable antistatic wrist or ankle strap and observe
all conventional ESD precautions when handling
plug-in modules and components.
Safety
The steps for a complete installation and configuration are:
1. Install hardware
2. Define the Data Domain system information for your site
3. Perform initial system configuration
4. Configure the system for data access
5. Configure optional software
6. Perform optional additional system configuration

Installation and Setup Guide
EMC DATA DOMAIN DD WITH DD EXTENDED RETENTION
1. Unpack the Data Domain system. A system consists of an EMC
Data Domain DD990 controller with DD Extended Retention software
and up to 1680 TB of raw storage in optional expansion shelves.
4Open the “Open Me First” box, then open the remaining boxes for the
controller and expansion shelves.
4Remove the accessories and rack mount kits for all system components.
2. Install the appropriate rack mounting hardware for the
controller and expansion shelves into one or more 19-inch, four-post
racks. Ensure that the rack is securely anchored to prevent tipping.
Load the rack or cabinet beginning at the bottom to prevent the rack
from becoming top-heavy. Be sure to plan appropriate vertical space to
accommodate the 4U controller and 3U for each expansion shelf.
4See the instructions included with the controller and shelf rails.
3. Install the controller and expansion shelves in the rack.
4Remove the controller and expansion shelves from the shipping boxes.
4Install each component horizontally on the corresponding rails and
slide into the rack in the order described in the ES30 Expansion Shelf
Hardware Guide. Be sure one person is at each side of each compo-
nent for proper and safe installation.
4Secure the components in the rack; see respective hardware manual.
4. Connect expansion shelves to the controller. Connect the
controller’s SAS ports to the expansion shelves based on the cabling
diagrams for expansion shelf connectivity. See Figure 4. Use the Cable
Management Bar and Velcro strips to support and organize all cables.
5. Connect an administrative console. Attach a serial console to the
controller’s serial port; or use KVM connections to connect monitor (VGA
port), keyboard and mouse. See Figure 1.
6. Enable data transfer connectivity. Repeat for each connection.
4Ethernet connection: If using 1 Gb copper Ethernet, attach a Cat 5e
or Cat 6 copper Ethernet cable to an RJ45 Ethernet network port (start
with eth0a and go up) on the controller, and attach the other end to
an Ethernet switch or to an Ethernet port on your server. If using
1 Gb fiber Ethernet, use multimode fiber cables with LC connectors. If
using 10 Gb copper Ethernet with an SFP+ connector, use a qualified
SFP+ copper cable. If using 10 Gb fiber Ethernet, use MMF-850nm
cables with LC duplex connectors. See Figure 1.
7. Provide redundant power to the system.
4Controller power: Connect power cables to the four receptacles.
Ensure that each pair of power supplies is connected to a different
power source.
4Expansion shelf power: Connect power cables to both receptacles
and attach the power cable retention clips. Each shelf power cable
should connect to a different power source. See Figure 3.
8. Turn the system on. Power on any expansion shelves before the
controller.
4ES30 power: The ES30 powers on when plugged in. Wait approxi-
mately 3 minutes after all expansion shelves are turned on.
4Controller power: Push the power button. See Figure 2.
4Attach the bezels.
9. Collect the information needed for installation. Record the
information in Section 2 of this document.
