Installation Prerequisites
Network Requirements
The Dell PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance requires the following network environment:
• Active network with available Ethernet cables and connections
• A static IP address and DNS server IP address, if not provided by the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP)
• User name and password with administrator privileges
Recommended Network Infrastructure
Dell recommends that organizations use a 1 GbE switch along with AppAssure 5 for efficient
performance.
Setting Up The Hardware
The appliance ships with a single DL1000 system. Before setting up the appliance hardware, see the
Getting Started Guide for your DL1000 system that shipped with the appliance. Unpack and set up the DL
Backup to Disk Appliance hardware.
NOTE: The software is pre-installed on the appliance. Any media included with the system must be
used only in the event of a system recovery.
To set up the DL Backup to Disk Appliance hardware:
1. Rack and cable the DL1000 system.
2. Turn on the DL1000 system.
Installing The Appliance In A Rack
If your DL1000 system includes a rail kit, locate the Rack Installation Instructions supplied with the rack
kit. Follow the instructions to install the rails and the DL1000 in the rack.
Using The System Without A Rack
You can use the system without the server rack. When you are using the system without a rack, ensure
that you follow these guidelines:
• The system must be placed on a solid, stable surface that supports the entire system.
NOTE: The system must not be placed vertically.
• Do not place the system on the floor.
• Do not place anything on top of the system. The top panel may deflect under the weight and cause
damage to the system.
• Ensure adequate space around the system for proper ventilation.
