All Shimano 10-speed cassettes are sold with a thin spacer that fits on the backside of the largest cog.
Any cassette beginning with an 11 cog needs a special lockring. A standard lockring will cause the chain to run on the lockring and not fully engage the 11 cog teeth properly. This usually causes chain skipping and excessive wear on the teeth.
