Delivered with the appliance is a rail/rack mounting kit. This kit provides the quick-install outer rails,
inner rail extensions, and mounting hardware which can be used as needed to secure the appliance toany rack configuration. (Rail adapters are also provided, but are for use only with the optional
standard mounting rails and not the quick-install rails).
Rack mount cabinets and attachments can vary by different manufacturers. Ensure you havesufficient rack mounting hardware to properly secure the rails in your environment.
IMPORTANT! This appliance is only for use in a restricted location (authorized access andsecured/controlled by locking device).
1. Verify the area where the appliance will be located is dry and well-ventilated (free from front andrear obstructions that could inhibit air flow). In addition, ensure the area maintains a constant cool
operating temperature, and does not generate heat, electrical noise, or electromagnetic fields.
Note: Each of the outer rails consists of two sections. When assembled, the long section gets
attached to the front rack post and the short section gets attached to the rear rack post.
2. Assemble the long section to the short section, aligning the pins with the corresponding slotted
openings, and making sure the end brackets are facing in the same direction.
3. Locate the short section against the rear post of the rack so that the two square tabs are alignedwith the corresponding square holes in the post. Apply pressure to snap (and lock) the rail to the rearpost.
4. Adjust the overall length of the assembled outer rails so that the rail will fit snugly (and level)
within the rack.
5. Locate the long section against the front post of the rack so that the two square tabs are alignedwith the corresponding square holes in the post. Apply pressure to snap (and lock) the rail to the front
post.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the other outer rail.
Note: The appliance comes with the inner rails pre-attached to the sides of the appliance. (Inner rail
extensions are also provided if needed).
7. Carefully raise the appliance so that the rear end of the inner rails are aligned with the front end of
the rack-mounted outer rails and using steady pressure on both sides, slide the appliance into therack until it locks in place (clicking sound).

1. Connect the network cables (red and blue) to the corresponding network data I/O serial ports. On
the front panel, the corresponding network activity LED comes on. (Network 1 LED = ETH0 port,
Network 2 LED = ETH1 port).
2. Connect one end of the power cable into the rear of the appliance and connect the other end to apower supply.
3. Connect cables to your monitor and keyboard (you can use the USB ports or specific ports for yourconnections).
4. If necessary, you could connect a cable from the dedicated IPMI port to a remote management
switch (via network) and assign the IP address to the dedicated port in the BIOS setup.
Note: The default user name/password for IPMI access is ADMIN/ARCADMIN (case-sensitive). Pleasechange it to some other value as soon as possible. Refer to the Arcserve UDP Appliance User Guidefor instructions on how to change the default password.
5. If necessary, connect cable from external storage device to the external storage port (SFF-8088).

1. From the front panel, press the Power button. The Power LED comes on.
IMPORTANT! When power is first applied to the appliance, it may automatically reboot a few times.
This is normal behavior for the initial start.
2. Install the faceplate to the front panel (snap and lock).

1. When power is initially applied to the appliance, the Arcserve UDP Appliance Wizard is launched.
Navigate through each page of the wizard. For more information about the wizard, see the Arcserve
UDP Appliance User Guide (arcserve.com/udp-appliance-userguide) or view the video atarcserve.com/udp-appliance-wizard-video.
The wizard lets you perform the following tasks:■

Define the Appliance host name.

■Specify LAN connections for the Appliance.

■

Configure email and alert settings.

■

Create protection plans. A protection plan lets you define source nodes, backup destination, andconfigure a backup schedule.

2. Upon completion of the wizard, Arcserve UDP launches the UDP console at the dashboard page.

Arcserve UDP is a comprehensive solution to protect complex IT environments. The source-side andglobal deduplication solution protects your data residing in various types of nodes such as Windows,
Linux, and virtual machines on VMware ESX servers or Microsoft Hyper-V servers. You can back up
data to either a local machine or a recovery point server. A recovery point server is a central serverwhere backups from multiple sources are stored and can be globally deduplicated. For more
information about Arcserve UDP, see the Knowledge Center at arcserve.com/udp-knowledge-center.
Arcserve UDP provides the following capabilities:■

Back up the data to deduplication/non-deduplication data stores on recovery point servers■

Back up recovery points to tape■Create virtual standby machines from backup data■

Replicate backup data to recovery point servers and remote recovery point servers■Restore backup data and perform Bare Metal Recovery (BMR)■

Copy selected data backup files to a secondary backup location■

Configure and manage Arcserve High Availability (HA) for critical servers in your environment
