Welcome to the *Edge Manual* for NVIDIA Base Command Manager 11.

## 0.1  About This Manual

This manual is aimed at helping cluster administrators install, understand, configure, and manage the edge computing capabilities of NVIDIA Base Command Manager 11. The administrator is expected to be reasonably familiar with the [*Administrator Manual*](/admin/preface).

Regularly updated versions of the NVIDIA Base Command Manager 11 manuals are available on updated clusters by default at `/cm/shared/docs/cm`. The latest updates are always online at [https://docs.nvidia.com/base-command-manager](https://docs.nvidia.com/base-command-manager).

* The [*Installation Manual*](/installation/quickstart) describes installation procedures for the basic cluster.
* The [*Administrator Manual*](/admin/preface) describes the general management of the cluster.

If the manuals are downloaded and kept in one local directory, then in most pdf viewers, clicking on a cross-reference in one manual that refers to a section in another manual opens and displays that section in the second manual. Navigating back and forth between documents is usually possible with keystrokes or mouse clicks.

For example: `<Alt>-<Backarrow>` in Acrobat Reader, or clicking on the bottom leftmost navigation button of xpdf, both navigate back to the previous document.

The manuals constantly evolve to keep up with the development of the NVIDIA Base Command Manager 11 environment and the addition of new hardware and/or applications.
The manuals also regularly incorporate feedback from administrators and users, who can submit comments, suggestions or corrections via the website
