Refer to Section 4 – Planning, before proceeding with any part of the
installation. This will speed the installation and avoid problems that
could occur due to lack of up-front planning.
On multiple helm installations write down the serial number of the
helms and note which station they are installed at. This will simplify
the configuration process (section 7.1)
