+If it is not feasible to give your compute nodes hostnames like compute0, compute1, etc., you can accommodate other naming schemes with a bit of extra configuration.
+
+If you want Arvados to assign names to your nodes with a different consecutive numeric series like @{worker1-0000, worker1-0001, worker1-0002}@, add an entry to @application.yml@; see @/var/www/arvados-api/current/config/application.default.yml@ for details. Example:
+* In @application.yml@: <code>assign_node_hostname: worker1-%<slot_number>04d</code>
+* In @slurm.conf@: <code>NodeName=worker1-[0000-0255]</code>
+
+If your worker hostnames are already assigned by other means, and the full set of names is known in advance, have your worker node bootstrapping script (see "Installing a compute node":install-compute-node.html) send its current hostname, rather than expect Arvados to assign one.
+* In @application.yml@: <code>assign_node_hostname: false</code>
+* In @slurm.conf@: <code>NodeName=alice,bob,clay,darlene</code>
+
+If your worker hostnames are already assigned by other means, but the full set of names is _not_ known in advance, you can use the @slurm.conf@ and @application.yml@ settings in the previous example, but you must also update @slurm.conf@ (both on the controller and on all worker nodes) and run @sudo scontrol reconfigure@ whenever a new node comes online.
+
+h2. Enable SLURM job dispatch
+
+In your API server's @application.yml@ configuration file, add the line @crunch_job_wrapper: :slurm_immediate@ under the appropriate section. (The second colon is not a typo. It denotes a Ruby symbol.)
+
+h2. Crunch user account
+
+Run @sudo adduser crunch@. The crunch user should have the same UID, GID, and home directory on all compute nodes and on the dispatcher (API server).
+
+h2. Run the Crunch dispatcher service
+
+To dispatch Arvados jobs:
+
+* The API server script @crunch-dispatch.rb@ must be running.
+* @crunch-job@ needs the installation path of the Perl SDK in its @PERLLIB@.
+* @crunch-job@ needs the @ARVADOS_API_HOST@ (and, if necessary, @ARVADOS_API_HOST_INSECURE@) environment variable set.
+
+Install runit to monitor the Crunch dispatch daemon. {% include 'install_runit' %}
+
+Install the script below as the run script for the Crunch dispatch service, modifying it as directed by the comments.
