Ensure that you have the following items at your installation location:
• Rack space for the system.
Node type
Rack space
H410S nodes
Two rack unit (2U)
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, storage nodes, and power cables (two per
chassis). If you order H610S storage nodes, the drives 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.

H410S
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 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.
Steps
1. Align the front of the rail with the holes on the front post of the rack.
2. Push the hooks on the front of the rail into the holes on the front post of the rack and then down, until the
spring-loaded pegs snap into the rack holes.
3. Attach the rail to the rack with screws. Here is an illustration of the left rail being attached to the front of the
rack:
