WD Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide
2. INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
This section explains how to attach a WD Arkeia Physical Appliance to a network.
The individual responsible for this task, usually the System Administrator, must
have access permissions which allows him or her to add a computer to the network.
2.1. Select a Site
The installation site will depend on the form factor of the appliance. The
RA4300, RA4300T, RA5300 and RA6300 Series models are all rack-mounted.
In general, this equipment should be deployed in restricted access (non-public)
location only. The DA1300 and DA2300 are ultra-compact desktop appliances,
which can be easily deployed on an office desk or areas where the space might
be limited. The WD Arkeia DA2300 desktop appliance also features a front door
lock that prevents accidental removal or unauthorized access to the drives
inside your appliance.
2.2. Clearance
Access to power and network cables at the back of the WD Arkeia Physical Appliance
will be needed. The front panel should be easily visible and a clearance of 12in
(30cm) is needed to remove the hard disk drives. Models with built-in tape drives will
need clearance to insert and remove the tape cartridges.
2.3. Environment
The WD Arkeia Physical Appliance should be installed in an environment
suitable for computers:
Dust free
No excessive vibration
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields generated by electric and
electronic devices
Well-ventilated. Maximum ambient temperature should never exceed
35C (95F).
2.4. Connect to Power
Connect the supplied power cable to the power outlet and the other end to the
IEC C13 socket at the back of the WD Arkeia Physical Appliance, and then
press the power button on the front panel.
Beginning with the 110, 210, 310 and 510 Series, all WD Arkeia Physical
Appliances have auto-sensing power supply units (PSUs) and support both
110v and 220v.
