To install and configure your AIDE software on third-party servers, you install and cable the hardware components, power on the system, and set up your ONTAP cluster.
Ensure that you have an existing AFX 1K storage system installed, and then review the hardware requirements for installing third-party servers or NetApp-provided data compute nodes. For information on installing the AFX 1K storage system, refer to AFX 1K storage system installation documentation.
Third-party servers should be installed according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer for your specific server model.
To cable the hardware, first connect the third-party servers to your data network, then connect the third-party servers to the cluster switches.
After you install the rack and cable your hardware, you should power on your third-party servers and your controller nodes for the AFX storage system if not already powered on.
