Figure 12 DLm8500 configuration floor cutout
When planning the placement of DLm8500, note the following:
The Data Domain cabinet is cabled to the VTEC cabinet using 8-meter GbE cables
l
and 10-meter fiber optic 10 GbE cables. The Data Domain cabinets can be up to
five cabinets away from the VTEC cabinet with the cabling under a raised floor.
This section provides an overview of anti-tip and anti-move brackets.
If you intend to secure extra stabilizer brackets to your site floor, prepare the location
for the mounting bolts. (The additional brackets help to prevent the cabinet from
tipping while you service cantilevered levels.) The brackets provide two levels of
protection for stabilizing the unit:
Anti-tip bracket—Use this bracket to provide an extra measure of anti-tip
l
security. One or two kits can be used. For cabinets with sliding components, two
kits are recommended.
