Moonshot 1500 Chassis 2.0 Configuration and Compatibility guide in the Information Library (https://www.hpe.com/
info/moonshot-docs).
Power requirements
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of IT
equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to operate in installations covered by NFPA 70, 1999
Edition (National Electric Code) and NFPA-75, 1992 (code for Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing
Equipment). For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the product rating label or the user documentation supplied
with that option.
6Planning an installation

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not overload the AC supply
branch circuit that provides power to the rack. Consult the electrical authority having jurisdiction over wiring and
installation requirements of your facility.
CAUTION: Protect the chassis from power fluctuations and temporary interruptions with a regulating UPS. This
device protects the hardware from damage caused by power surges and voltage spikes and keeps the chassis in
operation during a power failure.

Warnings and cautions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, heed all warnings and cautions
throughout the installation instructions.
Planning an installation 7

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The rack is bolted to the floor using the concrete anchor kit.
• The leveling feet extend to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. If more than one component is extended, a rack might become
unstable.
WARNING: The chassis is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do the
following:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not
fastened to the rails. The chassis weighs more than 8165 kg (18000 lb), so at least four people must lift the
chassis into the rack together. An additional person may be required to help align the chassis if the chassis is
installed higher than chest level.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, you must adequately support the
chassis during installation and removal.
WARNING: Be sure to install the chassis starting from the bottom of the rack, and then work your way up the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Never reach inside the chassis while the system is powered up.
• Perform service on system components only as instructed in the user documentation.
CAUTION: Always be sure that equipment is properly grounded and that you follow proper grounding procedures
before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can result in ESD damage to electronic
components. For more information, refer to "Electrostatic discharge."
CAUTION: When performing non-hot-plug operations, you must power down the chassis and/or the system.
However, it may be necessary to leave the chassis powered up when performing other operations, such as hot-plug
installations or troubleshooting.
Space and airflow requirements
To enable servicing and ensure adequate airflow, observe the following spatial requirements when deciding where to
install a rack:
8Planning an installation

• Leave a minimum clearance of 1219 cm (480 in) in front of the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 762 cm (300 in) in back of the rack.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 1219 cm (480 in) from the back of the rack to the rear of another rack or row of racks.
HPE rack products draw cool air in through the front and expel warm air through the rear of the enclosure. Therefore, the
front of the rack enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable ambient room air to enter the enclosure, and the rear
of the enclosure must be adequately ventilated to enable the warm air to escape from the enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Do not block the ventilation openings.
If the front of the rack is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the components can cause
changes in the airflow, which can adversely aect cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with blanking panels.
CAUTION: Always use blanking panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper
airflow. Using a rack without blanking panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Racks provide proper server cooling from flow-through perforations in the front and rear doors that provide a 65% open
area for ventilation.
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the rack in a well-ventilated, climate-
controlled environment.
The operating temperature inside the rack is always higher than the room temperature and is dependent on the
configuration of equipment in the rack. Check the TMRA for each piece of equipment before installation.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:
• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the chassis or to increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.
• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.
Grounding requirements
This equipment must be grounded properly for proper operation and safety. In the United States, you must install the
equipment in accordance with NFPA 70, 1999 Edition (National Electric Code), Article 250, as well as any local and
regional building codes.
In Canada, you must install the equipment in accordance with Canadian Standards Association, CSA C221, Canadian
Electrical Code.
In all other countries, you must install the equipment in accordance with any regional or national electrical wiring codes,
such as the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Code 364, parts 1 through 7. Furthermore, you must be sure
that all power distribution devices used in the installation, such as branch wiring and receptacles, are listed or certified
grounding-type devices.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with this equipment, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends
the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is
wired to an industrial-style plug. NEMA locking-style plugs or those complying with IEC 60309 are considered suitable for
this purpose. Using common power outlet strips to supply power to this equipment is not recommended.
