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. 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.

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.
