  • Page 2: Install The Chassis

    The minimum initial NetApp HCI configuration requires two chassis. Steps 3 and 4 apply only if you are installing H410C and H410S nodes in a NetApp H-series chassis. Install nodes in the chassis. CHASSIS BACK VIEW...
  • Page 3 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.
  • Page 4 Cable the node | Stage 3 cont. H610C compute node Note: H610C nodes are deployed only in the two-cable configuration. Ensure that all the VLANs are present on ports C and D. 10/25GbE cables Port C REAR Connect the node to a 10/25GbE network using Port D VIEW two SFP28/SFP+ cables in ports C and D.
