● Provide a safe electrical ground connection to each power cord. Check the grounding of the power sources before applying power. ● DD9410 and DD9910 systems must be operated only from a power supply input voltage range of 100–240 VAC and 50–60 ● DS600 shelves use 200-240 VAC and 50-60 Hz.
Adjusting the arms for a frontal lift About this task If you plan to use the mechanical lift directly in front of the cabinet, adjust the width of the lift arm/tray to just under 17 inches to ensure that the arms will stay under the chassis. Steps 1.
Install the System in the Rack CAUTION: Improper installation on the rails may damage the rails or cause the system to fall when extended. When extending the system from the rack, pull outward slowly and verify the system is properly installed on the rails.

Figure 8. Installing the front end of the rail 6. Repeat the preceding steps to install the right rail assembly. Secure the rail assemblies to the cabinet The supplied screws and washers are used to secure the rail assemblies to the front and rear of the cabinet. About this task NOTE: For square hole cabinets, install the supplied conical washer before installing the screw.
Install the system in the cabinet In an angled drop-in design, inner (chassis) rails are attached to the sides of the system and then the system slides into the outer (cabinet) rails that are installed in the rack. About this task WARNING: The system is heavy.
CAUTION: Improper installation on the rails may damage the rails or cause the system to fall when extended. 5. With the intermediate rails extended, install the system into the extended rails. Figure 12. Install system into the extended rails 6. Pull the blue slide release lock tabs forward on both the rails, and slide the system into the rack. Figure 13.
Install the Disk Shelves in the Rack Topics: • Remove filler panels • Install a DS600 shelf into the rack • Install an FS240 shelf into the rack Remove filler panels The front space of the rack into which you will install the shelf is usually covered by a filler panel. If one or more filler panels cover the space where you want to install the shelf, use this procedure to remove each panel.

Configure iDRAC About this task The PowerProtect system requires that the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is configured for system upgrade and maintenance operations. Additionally, the system supports the use of iDRAC to change security settings, and remotely power the system on and off.
Figure 56. iDRAC Settings > Network 7. Press Esc to return to the previous menu. 8. Select User Configuration. a. Enable the root user. b. Change the root user password. NOTE: The default password is the system serial number. The system serial number is always on the service tag at the front of the system, and on the PSNT tag attached to the rear handle of the chassis if the system has a rear-mounted PSNT tag.
Configure serial over LAN (SOL) About this task The PowerProtect system provides the ability to access the serial console through the iDRAC interface. Configuring SOL is optional. If SOL is already enabled on the system, no further action is required. CAUTION: Do not use iDRAC to change the storage configuration, system settings, or BIOS settings, as making changes will impact system functionality.
Enable administrative communication For HA pairs, administrative communication must be enabled on both nodes. DD9410 and DD9910 systems do not have serial port. a USB to DB9 dongle is required for a direct serial connection to the system. Figure 58. SOL and USB ports Use the following settings: Table 21.

Add Storage Capacity The system supports capacity expansion operations by adding new disk shelves while the system is powered on. The chapter contained in this part provides overview information and instructions to verify the system health before adding storage to the system.
Add a new disk pack to an existing DS600 If necessary, complete the following tasks to add a new disk pack to an existing DS600 shelf. It is not necessary to remove power from the disk shelf before adding new disks. CAUTION: To maintain rack stability, do not extend more than one DS600 shelf from the rack at a time.
In this example, the new disks will be installed in enclosure 2, pack 2. Open the system cover To access the drives, open the system cover: Steps 1. Loosen the thumbscrews on the rack mount ears and pull out the enclosure from the rack. 2.

Expand the file system Prerequisites The new storage must be added to the file system before it can be used. About this task Complete the following tasks to add the new storage to the file system. Steps 1. Add the storage to the file system. NOTE: Adding Cloud Tier storage does not require expanding the Data Domain file system.
Both nodes in an HA pair must have an identical configuration. If any of the following values are different between the two nodes, the upgrade cannot be performed. Both nodes must: ● Be the same model. (For example, you cannot configure a DD9410 system in an HA pair with a DD9910 system.) ● Have the same amount of memory.
About this task Upgrading DD9410 and DD9910 systems from single node to HA requires removing the metadata SSDs from the front of the existing node. In an HA pair, the metadata storage must be shared between the nodes. Do not put the SSDs from the front of the existing node into the SSD shelf.
