Ensure that you have the following items at your installation location:
• Rack space for the system.
Node type Rack space
H410C and H410S nodes Two rack unit (2U)
H610C node 2U
H615C and H610S nodes One rack unit (1U)
• SFP28/SFP+ direct-attach cables or transceivers
• CAT5e or higher cables with RJ45 connector
• A keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) switch to configure your system
• USB stick (optional)

The hardware that is shipped to you depends on what you order. A new 2U, four-node order
includes the chassis, bezel, slide rail kit, drives for storage nodes, storage and compute
nodes, and power cables (two per chassis). If you order H610S storage nodes, the drives will
come installed in the chassis.

While installing the hardware, ensure that you remove all packing material and wrapping
from the unit. This will prevent the nodes from overheating and shutting down.
Install the rails
The hardware order that was shipped to you includes a set of slide rails. You will need a screwdriver to
complete the rail installation. The installation steps vary slightly for each node model.

Install hardware from the bottom of the rack up to the top to prevent the equipment from
toppling over. If your rack includes stabilizing devices, install them before you install the
hardware.
• H410C and H410S
• [H610C]
• H610S and H615C
H410C and H410S
H410C and H410S nodes are installed in 2U, four-node H-Series chassis, which is shipped with two sets of
adapters. If you want to install the chassis in a rack with round holes, use the adapters appropriate for a rack
with round holes. The rails for H410C and H410S nodes fit a rack between 29 inches and 33.5 inches in depth.
When the rail is fully contracted, it is 28 inches long, and the front and rear sections of the rail are held together
by only one screw.

If you install the chassis onto a fully contracted rail, the front and rear sections of the rail
might separate.
