Product Overview

The DXi7500 disk backup and replication appliances use Quantum’s data

de-duplication technology to expand the amount of backup data users can

retain on fast-recovery RAID systems by 10 to 50 times. The result is a cost-

effective way for IT departments to store backup data on disk for months

instead of days, providing high speed, reliable restores, increasing available

data recovery points, and reducing media management. For disaster

recovery in distributed environments, the DXi7500 system makes

automated, WAN replication practical by dramatically reducing the

bandwidth required to move backup data securely between sites. DXi7500

solutions are integrated systems that are easy to install and use with all

leading backup applications. They provide best-in-class performance and

flexible, easy-to-use interface options including NAS, virtual library or

mixed presentations along with Fibre Channel and Ethernet connectivity.

DXi7500 appliances are part of a comprehensive set of backup solutions,

serviced and supported by Quantum, the leading global specialist in

backup, recovery, and archive.

Included with your DXi7500

The DXi7500 is fully configured to your specifications and pre-tested in the

factory. Every DXi7500 base system arrives either on several pallets with all

parts included or partially installed in a rack. Each system comes with an

accessory kit containing rack-mount hardware and Documentation CD

which includes the User’s Guide.

Installation

Rack Compatibility 0Nearly all standard four-post EIA 19” server racks are compatible with the DXi7500 rack

mount kits. Refer to the physical characteristics of the DXi7500 system for depth

requirements.

DXi7500 Setup and

Configuration 0After hardware has been installed and initially configured by a Quantum field engineer,

you are ready to use your DXi7500. The remote management web pages allow you to

reconfigure your DXi7500 at any time.

Required Network Information: to utilize the remote management pages of the DXi7500,

you must connect it to your network.

Note the following considerations:

• The DXi7500 connects to your network through an embedded switch. The connection

you provide must support connection to a switch. Please see the DXi7500 User’s Guide

(PN 81-81786) for details of the configuration of this embedded switch.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Command Protocol) is not supported: you must provide a

static IP address at the time of installation.

• The default IP Address is: 10.1.1.1

You and other administrative users can always return to the remote management pages to

modify all DXi7500 settings, including network settings. Refer to the DXi7500 User’s

Guide included on the documentation CD for additional information on initially

configuring your DXi7500.

Replication Firewall Port

Requirements 0The following firewall ports must be opened for replication to operate optimally:

•Port80

• Port 1062

Installation and

Integration Services 0Installation and integration of the DXi7500 system by Quantum is required. Please contact

your Quantum Sales representative to discuss installation services.

Phone support for the installation process is available via the Quantum support number

for your area. Customers in US and Canada may call 1-800-284-5101.

DXi7500 Site Planning Guide

More reliable backups 0

Leveraging the intelligence inside Quantum's storage systems, StorageCare Guardian

proactively monitors the health of the units, uses diagnostics data to predict possible

failures, and determines whether or not the problem involves a Quantum product or

other critical components in the environment.
