Installation Guide
2Dell EMC Integrated Data Protection Appliance DP4400 2.3 Installation Guide
Prepare the site and unpack the system
Before you begin
Verify that you have the following components:
l2U DP4400 system
lRail kit, including:
nTwo sliding rails
nTwo velcro straps
nFour screws
nFour washers
lTwo power cables
lBezel
lPhillips-head screwdriver with magnetic tip (not provided)
lTwo Cat 5e or Cat 6 copper Ethernet cables
lFour qualified 10 Gb Ethernet cables:
nFibre cables with a 10 Gb optical SFP
nDirect-attached copper cables
n(Optional) Four 1GB SFPs and four Cat 5e or Cat6 copper Ethernet cables
lAnti-static wrist strap and conductive foam pad
You must have a computer at the install location with:
lA power adapter, C13 to NEMA 5–15 (if based in North America), or a power cord for your
laptop power adapter with a C13 plug, to power your laptop from a rack PDU
lAn Ethernet port

Note: Ensure that ICMP (ping) is enabled in the customer environment during IDPA
installation.
About this task
The following steps must be completed before starting initial configuration with the Appliance
Configuration Manager:
Procedure
1. Identify 13 unassigned IP addresses for the IDPA components. To simplify configuration,
select 13 contiguous addresses.
Note that all components must run on a single VLAN or subnet with the exception of the
iDRAC interface, which can be on a separate subnet or VLAN. For further information about
IP addresses, see Table 1 on page 4.
Note:
The DP4400 installation requires IP addresses strictly from a single subnet having a
single gateway.
2. Register the 13 IP addresses in DNS with forward and reverse lookup entries for each
address. Ensure that the router for the 13 IP addresses can be pinged.
Dell EMC Integrated Data Protection Appliance DP4400 2.3 Installation Guide 3
Note: When you reserve the IP addresses, you must assign the IP addresses to the
hostnames in the DNS server. Ensure that the hostnames that are assigned to the point
products do not have an underscore (_). If the hostnames have an underscore (_), the
configuration fails.
Note: Ensure that ICMP is enabled in your network environment. The deployment of the
appliance fails if ICMP is disabled.
3. Download the license files for Data Domain Virtual Edition (DDVE), Avamar Virtual Edition
(AVE), and Data Protection Advisor (DP Advisor) from the Dell EMC Software Licensing
Central.
Note: For DP4400, only during the initial activation, the license keys are automatically
downloaded from the ELMS server if you are connected to a network.
The contact person mentioned on your sales order should have received the LAC letter
through an email during the order fulfillment process. The LAC letter includes the License
Authorization Code (LAC) associated with your order, instructions for downloading software
binaries, and instructions for activating the entitlements online through Dell EMC Software
Licensing Central.
Follow the steps mentioned in the LAC letter to activate the software and download the
license keys. For additional information, see the Standard Activation Process section in the
License Activation Guide
.
Note: The LAC letter has the link https://licensing.emc.com/deeplink/<LAC>
which directs you to Dell EMC Software Licensing Central.
<LAC>
is a unique
alphanumeric value that is mentioned in your LAC letter.
After the activation is complete, download the license keys that are generated for Data
Domain Virtual Edition (DDVE), Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE), and Data Protection Advisor
(DP Advisor). Use these license keys during the IDPA configuration.
IP address breakdown
About this task
When a range of IP addresses is used during the IDPA configuration, the IP addresses are assigned
in a standard order. Use the following table to determine which IP address is allocated to a
component.
The first column in each table, IP Range Allocation, is the value to add to the first IP address in the
range. The Sample Hostname column is only a suggested naming convention.

Install Network Validation Tool
The Network Validation Tool (NVT) for IDPA runs multiple automated tests to validate the network
configuration. You must run the NVT for IDPA from a system on the management network.
Before you install IDPA, network configuration must be completed for the datacenter. After the
network configuration is complete, you must install and run the Network Validation Tool to validate
the network configuration for a successful deployment of IDPA in the datacenter. To download the
NVT, and for more information about NVT, see https://help.psapps.emc.com/display/HELP/
Network+Validation+Tool+for+IDPA.
Install the rails
About this task
The rails are labeled left and right, and cannot be interchanged. The front side of each rail is
labeled Left Front or Right Front when the rail faces the cabinet front.
Dell EMC Integrated Data Protection Appliance DP4400 2.3 Installation Guide 5
Procedure
1. Determine where to mount the system, and mark the location at the front and back of the
cabinet.
Note: Install the left rail assembly first.
2. Fully extend the rear sliding bracket of the rail.
3. Position the rail end piece labeled Left Front facing inward and orient the rear end piece to
align with the holes on the rear cabinet flanges.
4. Push the rail straight toward the rear of the rack until the latch locks in place.

Secure the rails 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.
For unthreaded round hole cabinets, install only the screw without the conical washer.
Procedure
1. Align the screws with the designated U spaces on the front and rear rack flanges.
Ensure that the screw holes on the tab of the system retention bracket are seated on the
designated U spaces.
2. Insert and tighten the two screws using the Phillips #2 screwdriver.

Install the system in the cabinet
About this task
WARNING The system is heavy and should be installed in a cabinet by two people. To avoid
personal injury and/or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to install the system in a
cabinet without a mechanical lift and/or help from another person.
Procedure
1. At front of the cabinet, pull the inner slide rails out of the cabinet until they lock into place.

2. Locate the rear rail standoff on each side of the system. Position the system above the rails
and lower the rear rail standoffs into the rear J-slots on the slide assemblies.
3. Rotate the system downward until all the rail standoffs are seated in the J-slots.
Figure 5 Install the system in the rails
4. Push the system inward until the lock levers click into place.
5. Pull the blue slide release lock tabs forward on both rails and slide the system into the
cabinet. The slam latches will engage to secure the system in the cabinet.
Note: Ensure that the inner rail slides completely into the middle rail. The middle rail
locks if the inner rail is not fully engaged.
