# Enrolling Machines

This guide assumes you already have an existing fleet. If you do not have a fleet already, it is best to start with the [Creating a Fleet](/user-guides/fleet-user-guide/creating-a-fleet.md) guide as it will get you up and running.

## How to enroll machines

To enroll new machines, you can navigate to the *Fleet* panel on Chassy console and click *Add Machine* on your intended fleet.

You will first be asked to select or create a new chip. After doing so, you can select *Continue*. If you wish to create a new chip, clicking the select menu will display an option prompting you to do so.

After you have chosen or created a chip for these machines, you will be prompted with instructions for enrolling your machines as members in this fleet.

### Step 1: Prepare your machines

There are a couple steps crucial to ensuring your machine can be enrolled properly. Carefully ensure the listed requirements are met then move on to step 2.

### Step 2: Install

This next step will provide you with a generated command to be ran on the system to be enrolled. This automated script will account for the bulk of the setup process. Wait a few minutes for it to complete.

{% hint style="info" %}
The `CHASSY_TOKEN` value in this command has a relatively short expiry for security reasons. If it expires while you are still working, worry not. You can generate a new one with the *Generate New Command* button.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Be careful not to leak the contents of this command as it contains the token required to register machines to this fleet. It will also expire relatively quickly.
{% endhint %}

### Step 3: Wait for connection

Chassy will display a count of all the machines enrolled to help you keep track of your progress. Once all have connected, you can go ahead and click the *Complete* button.

{% hint style="info" %}
It may take a few minutes for your enrolled machine to appear in the Chassy Console.
{% endhint %}

## Enrolling Firmware Devices

If you are enrolling a firmware or baremetal device on Chassy, refer to the [Enrolling ESP32 Devices](/user-guides/fleet-user-guide/enrolling-machines/enrolling-esp32-devices.md) guide.&#x20;
