Installing the nodes in equipment racks

Before you cable your nodes together, you install the nodes and disk shelves in the equipment rack, label the disk shelves, and connect the nodes to the network.

  1. Install the nodes in the equipment rack, as described in the guide for your disk shelf, hardware documentation, or Quick Start guide that came with your equipment.
  2. Install the disk shelves in the equipment rack, as described in the appropriate disk shelf guide.
  3. Label the interfaces, where appropriate.
  4. Connect the nodes to the network, as described in the setup instructions for your system.

The nodes are now in place and connected to the network and power is available.

Proceed to cable the HA pair .
