Preparing for the Installation 0
Before you begin the installation procedure in this section,
make the following preparations as described in this
section:
•Providing Necessary Tools
•Taking ESD Precautions
Providing Necessary Tools 0
Provide the following tools for unpacking and installing the
DPM5500 system:
• #1 PHILLIPS® screwdriver
• #2 PHILLIPS screwdriver
• #1 Flat head screwdriver
• Antistatic wrist strap included in accessory kit
Taking ESD Precautions 0
Some components within the DPM5500 system contain
static-sensitive parts. To avoid damaging these parts while
performing installation procedures, always observe the
following precautions:
• Keep the DPM5500 system turned off during all
installation procedures.
• Use an antistatic wrist strap (included in the accessory
kit).
• Keep static-sensitive parts in their original shipping
containers until ready for installation.
• Do not place static-sensitive parts on a metal surface.
Place them inside their protective shipping bag or on an
antistatic mat.
• Avoid touching connectors and other components.
Unpacking the DPM5500 0
This section explains how to unpack the DPM5500 system
components and move them to their final installation
location.
By following these instructions, you help ensure that the
system will continue to be safeguarded after it arrives at the
installation site.
NOTE:Dry climates and cold-weather heating
environments have lower relative humidity and
are more likely to produce static electricity.
Unpack and remove the following components from the
packing materials (see figure 1):
• DPM5500 chassis
• Hard drive sleds
• Accessory kit

Locating the Mounting
Position 0
The DPM5500 system is designed to fit in a standard 19 inch
wide rack. It is important to the chassis installation to locate
the hole pattern in the rack rails (see figure 2).
Figure 2 Rail Hole Pattern
WARNING:If the rack is empty at the time of
installation, do NOT install the DPM5500
chassis too high in the rack. The weight of
the chassis may cause the rack to become
“top heavy” and unstable if installed in the
top of an empty rack.

1Assemble the DPM5500 rack rails as shown in figure 3.
You must pull the slide out of the support brackets to
gain access to the mounting holes.
Figure 3 Assembling the Rack
Rails
2Install the left and right rack rails at the beginning of a
hole pattern (see Locating the Mounting Position) and
install two 10-32 x .50 PHILLIPS screws on each rail at
the front and back of the rack (see figure 4).
NOTE:Quantum ships sufficient clip nuts to support
mounting the DPM5500 rack rails and also to
secure the front of the chassis to the rails.
NOTE:The support brackets extend to accommodate
rack depths or 30 to 36 in. (76.2 to 91 cm).
NOTE:Ensure that clip nuts are installed on the rails (see
figure 2) prior to installing the DX5000 rails.

7Install each of the hard drive sleds into the DPM5500
chassis. Ensure each drive is completely installed in the
chassis with the drive handle in the closed position (see
figure 7).
CAUTION:Use ESD procedures when handling the hard
drives sleds (see “Taking ESD Precautions” on
page 2). Place the ESD wrist strap on your
wrist and connect the other end of the strap
to the DPM5500 chassis.
NOTE:The hard drives must be installed in the
proper sequence since RAID sets have already
been established at the factory. Refer to the
label on the bottom of the drive sled for the
drive number. The hard drives must also be
installed in the array in which it was
configured.

Windows Server 2003 and Data Protection Manager loaded
on the device. The DPM5500 contains a system
motherboard, processor, and a SCSI HBA. Refer to the
following username and password to access the system:
Username: administrator 0
Password: Quantum-DPM 0
The storage array portion of the DPM5500 system contains
12, 18, or 24 hard drives and is used as the primary storage
area of the DPM5500. The DPM application, SQL DPM
database, and the Windows 2003 operating system are
located on 2 internal mirrored hard drives. The DPM5500 is
formatted from Quantum with the following partition:
•37 GB Partitions
•Storage Area
37 GB Partitions 0
The operating system hard drives contain a single 37 GB
partition. This partition contains the Windows Server 2003
operating system which serves as the boot partition. This
partition also contains the DPM application software and
DPM application database.
Storage Area 0
The storage area contains a 4.8 TB, 7.2 TB, or 9.6 TB
(approx.) partition for use as storage space for the DPM
software. This partition is only used by DPM and is not
accessible from the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
Microsoft® DPM 0
The Microsoft® DPM application software is installed on the
system, however, the software is not initially configured.
Refer to the Microsoft DPM documentation for information
on DPM configuration.
NOTE:The password is case sensitive.
NOTE:It is recommended to join a test domain within
Windows
DPM5500 Initial Configuration 0
To initially configure the DPM5500 and prepare for
operation:
1Turn on the DPM5500 system by pressing the power
button located on the front of the chassis.
2The DPM5500 uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) to receive an IP address from a local DHCP
server. You will need this IP address to access the
DPM5500. Write the IP address in the space provided
below:
DPM5500 IP Address:___________________________
Example: https://<ip address>:8098
3Enter the IP address assigned to the DPM5500 into a
web browser to access the DPM5500 configuration
wizard.
The DPM5500 configuration wizard displays (see
figure 9).
NOTE:A domain server must be setup and on the same
network as the DPM5500 before continuing with
this procedure.
NOTE:It is highly recommended that the system
administrator with access to the DHCP server be
available during this initial configuration of the
DPM5500. The IP address assigned to the
DPM5500 must available to access the system.
NOTE:This IP address uses https, not the common
http and there is also a special port (8098)
that must be used. This address must be used
every time the web pages are accessed.
