# Deploying a Tenant

A Tenant Farm is deployed just like a traditional Parallels RAS Farm. The only difference is, when installing the Farm, you don't need to install RAS Secure Gateways in it.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** If you decide to install a local (private) RAS Secure Gateway in a Tenant Farm (e.g. for local connections), you can do that, but please keep in mind that you cannot mix HALB and Gateways from the Tenant Broker and a Tenant Farm. The HALB appliance installed in the Tenant Broker will not support this scenario.
{% endhint %}

To set up a Parallels RAS Farm to be used as a Tenant:

1. Run the Parallels RAS installer.
2. On the **Select Installation Type** page, select **Custom**.
3. Click **Next**.
4. Make sure that the following components are selected for installation:

   * RAS Connection Broker
   * Parallels RAS Console (optional; you can have the RAS Console installed on a different machine)

   Other components are optional. You can install them now or you can install them later if needed.
5. Click **Next** and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
