== 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.
