Install the chassis.
See Rail Kit Installation instructions.
Note:
• Ensure that you have installed the rack according to the safety instructions from the manufacturer.
• Ensure that the rack is stabilized. The heaviest equipment should be at the bottom of the rack.
• Follow proper grounding practices to avoid risk of electric shock.
• Follow proper airflow and cooling requirements to prevent hardware from overheating.
• Installing the chassis requires two people.
Install hardware |Stage 2
The minimum initial NetApp HCI configuration requires two chassis.
Steps 1 and 2 apply only if you are setting up a new system.

on what you ordered.

If the airflow vents at the rear of the chassis are blocked by cables or labels, it can lead to premature
component failures due to overheating.
1Cable the compute node.
If you are adding nodes to an existing NetApp HCI installation, ensure that the cabling and network
configuration of the nodes that you add are identical to the existing installation.

It takes approximately six minutes for the node to boot.
Configure NetApp HCI |Stage 4(Choose option A or B below)
1. Configure an IPv4 address on the management network (Bond1G) on one storage node.
Note: If you are using DHCP on the management network, you can connect to the DHCP-acquired IPv4 address of the
storage system. For more information about DHCP-acquired IPv4 addresses, see the
NetApp HCI Deployment Guide .
a. Plug in a KVM to the back of one storage node.
b. Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address for Bond1G in the user interface.
You can also configure a VLAN ID for the
Bond1G network.
2. Using a supported web browser (Mozilla Firefox,
Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge), navigate to the
NetApp Deployment Engine by connecting to the IPv4
address that you configured in Step 1.
3. Use the NetApp Deployment Engine user interface (UI) to configure NetApp HCI.
Note: If you are expanding your installation using H615C compute nodes, you must ensure that the cluster runs
on NetApp HCI 1.7 or later.
1. Using a supported web browser, browse to the IP address of the management node.
2. Log in to the NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control by providing the NetApp HCI storage cluster
administrator credentials.
3. Follow the steps in the wizard to add storage and/or compute nodes to your NetApp HCI
installation. The newly installed NetApp HCI nodes on the same network will be discovered
automatically. For more information, see the NetApp HCI Deployment Guide.
All the other NetApp HCI nodes that you installed will be discovered automatically.
For more information, see the
NetApp HCI Deployment Guide.

3. From the node management screen, navigate to Settings > Network Settings, and configure
the network parameters for the out-of-band management port.
See How to access BMC and change IP address on H610S.
H615C compute node
• If your H615C node has GPUs in it, install the GPU driver.
See the NetApp Deployment Guide.
• Configure out-of-band management using the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC).
