# Add a Content component to the Distributed Index Handler

After you install the DIH, you can add more Content components that the DIH can distribute actions to.

To add a child server to the DIH

1. Open the DIH configuration file in a text editor.
2. Find the `[DistributionIDOLServers]` section.

3. Increase the value of the Number parameter by one, and add an `[IDOLServerN]` subsection for the new Content. The value of `N` must be one fewer than the value of the Number setting.

   For example, if the following configuration is the original `[DistributionIDOLServers]` section:

       [DistributionIDOLServers]
       Number=2

       [IDOLServer0]
       Host=emerson
       Port=9100

       [IDOLServer1]
       Host=thoreau
       Port=9100

   This section defines two Content components. To add a third Content, make the following changes:

   - Increase Number to `3`.

   - Add an `[IDOLServer2]` for your new server.

   For example:

       [DistributionIDOLServers]
       Number=3

       [IDOLServer0]
       Host=emerson
       Port=9100

       [IDOLServer1]
       Host=thoreau
       Port=9100

       [IDOLServer2]
       Host=jefferson
       Port=9100

4. Save and close the configuration file.

5. Restart the DIH for your changes to take effect.
