Steps 1 and 2 do not apply if you are adding a new node to an existing two rack unit (2U), four-node chassis.

Install the rails.

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 the chassis.

See Rail Kit Installation instructions.

CAUTION

Approximately 70 lb (31.75 kg)

LIFTING HAZARD

H610S

CAUTION

40.5 lb (18.4 kg)

LIFTING HAZARD

An H410S cluster requires a minimum for four nodes in a chassis. If you are expanding your existing installation, you need a minimum of one node and one chassis.

The installation graphic is only for illustrative purposes. Your actual node might dier based on what you ordered.

Steps 3 and 4 do not apply if you are installing H610S nodes.

Install nodes in the chassis.

Cable the node | Stage 3

Cable the node

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 installation, ensure that the cabling and network conﬁguration of the nodes that you add are identical to the existing installation.

H610S storage node

1GbE cables

Connect the node to a 1GbE network using two RJ45 connectors.

10/25GbE cables

Connect the node to a 10/25GbE network using two SFP28 or SFP+ cables.

1GbE cable

Connect the node to a 1GbE network using an RJ45 connector in the IPMI port.

Power cables

Connect both power cables to the node.

Plug the power cables to a suitable power outlet. Press the power button at the front of the chassis.

Note: It takes approximately ﬁve minutes and 30 seconds

for the node to boot.

H410S storage node

1/10GbE cables

Connect two CAT5e or higher cables in ports A and B for management connectivity.

10/25GbE cables

Connect two SFP28/SFP+ cables or transceivers in ports C and D for storage connectivity.

(Optional, recommended)

Connect a CAT5e cable in the IPMI port for out-of-band management connectivity.

Steps 2 and 3 do not apply if you are installing H610S nodes.

Connect the power cords to the two power supply units per chassis and plug them into 240V PDU or power outlet.

This step does not apply if you are adding a new node to an existing chassis.

Power on the nodes.

FRONT VIEW

It takes approximately six minutes for the node to boot.

Conﬁgure the node | Stage 4

Attach a keyboard and monitor to the node.

Note: Ensure that the node is powered on.

UID

In the terminal user interface (TUI) that is displayed, conﬁgure the network and cluster settings for the node by using the on-screen navigation.

Note: You must get the IP address of the node from the TUI. You need this in Stage 5.

After you save the settings, the node is in a pending state, and can be added to a cluster. See the NetApp Element Software Setup Guide for conﬁguration instructions. You can access the latest version of the Setup Guide from the NetApp SolidFire Resources page.

Required only for H610S nodes.

Conﬁgure out-of-band management using the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC).

i. Use a web browser and navigate to the default BMC IP address: 192.168.0.120 ii Log in using the following default credentials: User name: root Password: calvin iii 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.

NODE D

From a client on the same network as the newly conﬁgured node, access the NetApp Element software UI by entering the node’s IP address.

Enter the required information in the Create a New Cluster window.

See the NetApp Element Software Setup Guide for instructions. You can access the latest version of the Setup Guide from the NetApp SolidFire Resources page.
