Install rail brackets on the Data Domain racks (for square or round
hole racks)
About this task
NOTE:
● Do not hold the bracket assembly in a vertical position as the parts may separate.
● If you are using a rack with threaded holes, skip this section and go to
(for threaded hole racks)
● The Data Domain system is 4 rack units (RU) tall so make sure the location in the rack fits the product. Attach the
bracket assembly to the lowest RU of the 4-RU opening.
● To comply with Data Domain rack mounting guidelines, the system controller should be installed in the pre-defined space
in the rack for system controllers. Refer to the Installation and Setup Guide for your system.
● For HA systems:
○ Mount node 0 such that the bottom of the chassis aligns with the 13U mark in the rack.
○ Mount node 1 such that the bottom of the chassis aligns with the 18U mark in the rack.
Steps
1. At each rack post, determine the vertical position in the rack where the brackets are to be installed. The top-most mounting
hole for a particular rack unit (RU) mounting position is typically identified by a mark or hole. The bracket will be installed in
the bottom hole of the 4 RU opening.
CAUTION:
If the bracket is mounted in holes that are not vertically aligned from front to back, the bracket
may be damaged and mounting will not be secure.
2. As needed, select the bracket marked right or left. The rear of the bracket contains an adjustable piece.
3. From the rear of the system, hold the bracket against the inside of the rack posts. Align the rear guide pin and slide the
bracket towards the front. The guide pins can help to temporarily hold the rack mount bracket in place. Attach the bracket
to the rear of the rack using the furnished screws. There are five screw holes. The picture shows two screws attached to
the rear rack post.
