Specifically, there are four new systems – the DD2500, DD4200, DD4500, and DD7200.
All the new systems are based on Intel Sandy Bridge processors, enabling up to 4x faster
performance than the previous generation. They also provide up to 3x increased stream
counts.
In addition, support for the new 2 TB and 3 TB ES30 SAS expansion shelves enables up to
10x greater scalability compared to the previous generation.
To learn more, download and refer to these additional guides from the EMC Support portal:
• EMC Data Domain Installation and Configuration Guide (for your controller)
• EMC Data Domain DD2500 Disk Storage Expansion Guide P/N 302-001-162
Let’s take a closer look at which new model replaces the previous generation model.
The DD2500 enables users to backup 175 TB in under 8 hours with up to 13.4 TB/hr
aggregate ingest performance with DD Boost.
This scalable system supports up to four 30TB ES30 SAS expansion shelves or three 45TB
ES30 SAS expansion shelves, enabling customers to protect up to 6.6 PB logical capacity and
133 TB usable capacity in a single namespace.
In addition, the DD2500 can be the target for up to 180 backup streams, enabling
consolidation from up to 180 remote sites or the ability to emulate up to 180 virtual tape
drives on a single system.
Expanded Capacity –
• Both DD2500 capacity configurations (7 HDDs or 12 HDDs) will ship with an Expanded
Capacity license key that will be enabled in the factory.
Memory –
• Additional memory will be required when the DD2500's usable capacity is greater
than 51 TB.
Notice a few first-time differences in this chart for the new models –
• The ‘Data-less Head’ units use Solid State Drives(SSD) for Hard Disk Drives.
• The three drives in the head are mirrored (triple 1) or RAID 6 for redundancy
• SSDs have inherently higher mean time between failures (MTBF), so there is no
need for a spare in the head unit
• Reminder: there are no spares on the DD990 either
• The system requires 220 Volts AC.
• The new platform for DD4200, DD4500, and DD7200 uses a new type of DB9 serial
cable – the micro DB9 to standard DB9. No support for VGA/PS2. No support for
standard to standard DB9 serial connector. A short length micro DB9 to standard DB9
cable is supplied.
• New IO Module form factors.
• New Mini-SAS High Density cables.
Let’s learn more about why the ‘Data-less Head’ units use Solid State Drives(SSD) before
diving into more detail on each model.
Next, let’s learn more about the DD4200, DD4500, and the DD7200 systems - starting with the DD
4200 system.
The DD4200 enables users to backup 175 TB in under 8 hours with up to 22 TB/hr aggregate
ingest performance with DD Boost.
In addition, the DD4200 can be the target for up to 270 backup streams, enabling consolidation
from up to 270 remote sites or the ability to emulate up to 270 virtual tape drives on a single
system.
Finally, the DD4200 is a ‘Data-less Head’ system, enabling our customers a data-in-place
upgrade from previous ‘Data-less Head’ systems including the DD690, DD880, DD860, and
DD890. Refer to EMC Data Domain System Controller Upgrade Guide (DD OS 5.4) P/N 302-001-160.
The DD4500 enables users to backup 175 TB in under 8 hours with up to 22 TB/hr aggregate
ingest performance with DD Boost.
In addition, the DD4500 can be the target for up to 270 backup streams, enabling consolidation
from up to 270 remote sites or the ability to emulate up to 270 virtual tape drives on a single
system.
As with the DD4200, the DD4500 is a ‘Data-less Head’ system, enabling our customers a data-in-
place upgrade from previous ‘Data-less Head’ systems. Refer to EMC Data Domain System
Controller Upgrade Guide (DD OS 5.4) P/N 302-001-160.
The DD7200 enables users to backup 208 TB in under 8 hours with up to 26 TB/hr aggregate
ingest performance with DD Boost.
In addition, the DD7200 can be the target for up to 540 backup streams, enabling consolidation
from up to 270 remote sites or the ability to emulate up to 540 virtual tape drives on a single
system.
As with DD4200 and DD4500, the DD7200 is a ‘Data-less Head’ system, enabling our customers a
data-in-place upgrade from previous ‘Data-less Head’ systems. Refer to EMC Data Domain System
Controller Upgrade Guide (DD OS 5.4) P/N 302-001-160.
Note on Shelves:
These systems include support for both 2TB and the 3TB ES30 expansion shelves with these
conditions:
• New orders - Factory ships only ES30 SAS Shelves, with 2TB or 3TB HDDs
• These DD systems also support legacy ES20 and ES30 SATA Shelves
• SAS and SATA shelves cannot be mixed on the same set
For more detailed information refer to the EMC Data Domain ES30 Expansion Shelf Hardware
Guide P/N 302-001-163.
Reminder on Shelves:
These systems include support for both 2TB and the new 3TB ES30 expansion shelves with
these conditions:
– New orders - Factory ships only ES30 SAS Shelves, with 2TB or 3TB SAS HDDs
– These DD systems also support legacy ES20 and ES30 SATA Shelves
– SAS and SATA shelves cannot be mixed on the same set
For more detailed information refer to the EMC Data Domain ES30 Expansion Shelf
Hardware Guide P/N 302-001-163.
Here are the part numbers for Data Domain OS 5.4-related technical documentation.
Login and download these as needed from the EMC Support portal at:
https://my.datadomain.com/documentation
Here are the overall benefits in terms of performance, capacity, consolidation, and connectivity when
combining the new Data Domain systems, with the new ES30 SAS expansion shelves running on the
new DD OS 5.4 operating system:
• Performance improves up to 4.7x
Providing dramatic performance increases
• Capacity increases 2x to 10x
With DD Extended Retention software option available across three of the four new
systems
• Stream counts increase 2x to 3x
Improving consolidation and providing flexibility
• Optional IO slots increase up to 2x
Providing more IO connectivity and ports
And now you know more about ‘what's different’ and how each of these four new systems fit into the
overall product picture.
This module is designed to provide a deeper level of information on the new platform for
model DD2500.
• It is primarily targeted for BRS Presales-Delivery Global Services Specialists and
Champions who are required to provide or deliver more advanced-level support and
services.
• Other audiences include anyone that needs or wants more in-depth knowledge about
this new product.
Note:
10GBase-T Ethernet RJ45 ports require Cat 6A S/FTP cable (double shielded) for all interface
speeds (1/10 GbE) for any distance.
With this new platform comes the new concept of having a Storage Processor(SP) Module as
well as a Chassis Module. Both are Field Replaceable Units(FRUs).
Notes:
The 7-disk DD2500 drives will contain blanks for drives 7-11.
And all the FRU guides will be specified for each FRU as we go along.
Note: the actual ‘SP FRU’ includes the motherboard/CPU. All other components of the SP
Module(power supplies, fans, DIMMs, etc) are separate FRUs.
Notes:
Drive carrier is not interchangeable with ES30 carrier.
HDD dummy carriers must be installed to maintain thermal envelope of the system.
Note:
The same PSU is used for both of the new hardware platforms.
NOTES:
• Only trained and qualified personnel should be
allowed to install or replace this equipment.
• During the procedure, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the
equipment.
• Replacement of a DIMM requires removal of the SP module. Never attempt service
while the SP module is still in the chassis.
• For replacement or upgrade DIMMs, use only DIMMs from a Data Domain memory
spares kit.
Notice the difference between a properly seated IO Module and one that isn’t.
The system must be powered off to remove any of the IO Modules. Lets take a closer look at
each of these for DD2500.
Take a moment to understand how the ports are labeled in the system too.
Note:
Shown here along with the Ethernet network data ports is the BMC Management LAN Port
which is labeled bmc0a on the DD2500.
Note the key difference is that the firmware upgrade bundle is now integrated into DD OS
5.4.
This module is designed to provide a deeper level of information on the DD4200, DD4500,
and DD7200.
• It is primarily targeted for BRS Presales Global Services Specialists and Champions
who are required to provide or deliver more advanced-level support and services.
• Other audiences include anyone that needs or wants more in-depth knowledge about
these new products.
Note:
The new ‘Data-less Head’(DLH) systems, enable our customers to perform a data-in-place
upgrade from previous DLH systems.
Important Note:
AC input power is nominal 220VAC to meet power envelope requirement.
DD OS Alerts will occur if operating at 120VAC.
NOTE:
The 3 Hard Disk Drives shown here are Solid State Drives(SSDs)
These are the FRUs which need the system to be powered OFF before replacing:
• Management Module
• All IO Modules
Removing any IO Module
while system is powered
up will force a reset
• NVRAM
• DIMMs
• SP Module (not shown)
Note:
The SP FRU includes the motherboard. All other components of the SP (power supplies, fans,
SSDs, DIMMs) are separate FRUs.
Again, notice the difference in the use of slots 5 and 6 – with and without the DD Extended
Retention software option.
Notice the key difference in the serial console cable connection – it’s a standard DB9 to
micro-DB9 and it is provided.
Reminder:
The new ‘Data-less Head’ models (DD4200, DD4500, and DD7200) use SSDs as head unit
drives for storing the boot image, the DD OS image, SSD firmware, and logs for fault analysis.
Safety Cautions -
• Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this
equipment.
• During the procedure, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to the
equipment.
• Replacement of a DIMM requires removal of the SP module. Never attempt service
while the SP module is still in the chassis.
• For replacement or upgrade DIMMs, use only DIMMs from a Data Domain memory
spares kit.
Note:
Same PSU is used for both new hardware platforms.
This module is designed to provide a deeper level of information on the new ES30 SAS HDD
Expansion Shelf:
• It is primarily targeted for BRS Presales Global Services Specialists and Champions
who are required to provide or deliver more advanced-level support and services.
• Other audiences include anyone that needs or wants more in-depth knowledge about
this new ES30 SAS HDD Expansion Shelf.
Copyright © 2013 EMC Corporation. Do not copy - All Rights Reserved. 100
Carefully review the information on the new ES30 SAS HDD Expansion Shelf.
• New EMC Model Codes are used for the ES30 SAS shelves
• Both new shelves use Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives
• Only supported on DD2500, DD4200, DD4500, and DD7200
New orders can ONLY have SAS shelves.
DD4200, DD4500, and DD7200 upgrades allow SATA (ES30/ES20) attached.
DD2500 upgrades do not allow SATA (ES30/ES20) attached.
• Distinguished only with drive labels
Part numbers change over time, so not listed
Drive types cannot be mixed in a shelf
Caution – Other Data Domain and EMC shelves look the same!
The part numbers on the chassis do not reflect the size of the shelf, only that it is a DD shelf.
If one of the labels has 100-563-456 or 100-563-668, that indicates that the shelf is a DD
shelf. These labels may be there in the case of a chassis swap. The other Part Numbers you
may see are 100-562-904 or 100-563-545. The reason that part numbers do not differentiate
models is because of how EMC’s MFG process works.

• Controller will always be in RU 13-16.
• Shelves are loaded from bottom of rack first.
• Shelf strings will be cabled in groups of 4.
• For shelf counts not in increments of 4, the last string will be less than 4 shelves.
Racks #2 thru #5 are expansion racks with shelves only.
• Shelves loaded from bottom up.
• There is always a gap in RU’s 13-16 for manufacturing economy of scale.
• Shelves connected in strings of 4. For shelf counts not in increments of 4, the last
string will be less than 4 shelves.
• Racks 2 – 5 will need to be connected to rack #1 at the customer site.
• Some shelf strings may need to be adjusted depending upon the order.

Chassis Swap/Controller Differences
• In older platforms this description is completely interchangeable, as these both refer
to the same FRU. On newer platforms these are two separate FRUs. Normally the
term ‘controller’ refers to both the physical chassis and controller.
Chassis Swap
• Chassis is replaced with a completely new chassis. System identifiers and other FRUs
are all carried over to the new chassis. This is a rare process and will become very
rare in future platforms due to the separation of FRUs from the chassis.
Data Domain System Controller Upgrade
• Data Domain System is completely replaced with a newer supported model. The
HBA/NICs/NVRAM/ disks and other head unit FRUs will likely be completely different.

Headswap
• The software process and steps used to restore configuration information during a
chassis swap or controller upgrade. This restores the bonding between the storage
and head unit.
SP Swap
• Replacement of the service processor for models that support this FRU.
• Since the original disks are maintained and all system identifiers (serial #, service tag,
system ID, etc…) are stored on the backplane, a headswap is not needed.

Product Serial Number Tag (PSNT) – available starting with DD OS 5.4 and only available on
the new 5.4 Data Domain systems.
Product Serial Number Tag (PSNT) is now retained during headswap. Using the same
framework as systemID and modelno.
• This means the service tag will not be preserved for a controller upgrade
/ddr/var/vers/boot_bkup/.servicetag
/ddr/var/ext (secondary core partition in DD4200, DD4500, and DD7200) will be a smaller
partition if a controller upgrade is performed.
