Step 1: Prepare for installation
To install your system, you need to create an account, register the system, and get license keys. You also need
to inventory the appropriate number and type of cables for your system and collect specific network
information.
Before you begin
You need to have access to the Hardware Universe for information about site requirements as well as
additional information on your configured system. You might also want to have access to the Release Notes for
your version of ONTAP for more information about this system.

• Rack space for the storage system
• Phillips #2 screwdriver
• Additional networking cables to connect your system to your network switch and laptop or console with a
Web browser
Steps
