Operations 9
Operations
Extend the chassis from the rack
1. Pull down the quick release levers on each side of the chassis.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is
adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
2. Extend the chassis from the rack until it locks once.
3. Press the push tab on the rail, and then fully extend the chassis.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release
latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.

Operations 10
4. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the chassis back into the rack, and
then press the chassis firmly into the rack to secure it in place.
Remove the access panel
IMPORTANT: After performing a procedure inside the chassis, always install the access panel on
the chassis when complete. Do not operate the chassis for long periods of time with the access
panel removed.
IMPORTANT: To maintain appropriate cooling, fans will operate at a high speed when the
access panel is removed.
IMPORTANT: When the access panel is removed, the chassis might be placed into a low power
operating state to reduce thermal stress.
To remove the component:
1. If the locking latch is locked, use a T-15 Torx screwdriver to unlock the latch.
2. Open the locking latch.
The access panel slides back, releasing it from the chassis.

Operations 11
3. Lift and remove the access panel.
Turn the access panel over to locate the HP Moonshot 1500 Chassis label. This label provides information on
LED status indicators, component identification, and chassis and switch installation procedures.
Open the cable management arm
To open the cable management arm, lift it up as you swing it open.

Operations 12
Remove the uplink module blank
Remove the component as indicated.
Remove the switch module blank
Remove the component as indicated.

Setup 13
Setup
Installation information and guidelines
Before installing the module, review the following:
•Always install the switch module and the uplink module in corresponding bays. Both components must
be installed for normal operation.
•The switch module and the uplink module can be installed in any order.
•The switch module and the uplink module power down when either module is removed from the chassis.
•The switch module and the uplink module power up after both modules are installed in the chassis.
•Removing any component from bay A or bay B does not disrupt traffic for the other switch.
•Always use the recommended firmware version. For current information on recommended firmware
versions, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/moonshot/download).
•For the most current product information, see the HP Moonshot Information Library
(http://www.hp.com/go/moonshot/docs).

Setup 14
Uplink module bays
The uplink module can be installed in the uplink module bays located in the rear of the chassis.
Installing the uplink module
IMPORTANT: To avoid connectivity loss, do not remove any network cables or uplink modules
already in operation.
1. Remove the uplink module bay blank.

Setup 15
2. Prepare the uplink module for installation.
3. Install the uplink module.
4. Do one of the following:
oIf the switch module is already installed, verify the uplink module powers on and the health LED is
green.
oIf the switch module is not installed, install the switch module before verifying LEDs.
For more information, see the "Installation information and guidelines (on page 13)."
5. After both components have been installed, verify the switch firmware is at the recommended firmware
version. For more information, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/moonshot/download).
The installation is complete.
Installing the switch module
CAUTION: To avoid connectivity loss, do not remove switches already in operation.
To install the switch module:

Cabling 18
Cabling
Supported cables and transceivers
The following cables and transceiver modules are supported for the HP Moonshot-4QSFP+ Uplink Module:
•HP 40GBASE QSFP+ DAC
•HP 40GBASE QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+
•HP 40GBASE QSFP+ SR4
•HP 40GBASE QSFP+
•HP QSFP+ to SFP+ Adapter
Installing a DAC cable
1. If needed, remove the packaging and protective caps.
2. Verify the cable is the correct type by checking the label on the transceiver.
3. Remove the dust plug from the correct port.
4. Align the transceiver in front of the port with the label facing up.
5. Install the cable. (A QSFP+ DAC cable shown.)

Cabling 19
Installing a transceiver
WARNING: To avoid serious injury, never look directly into an open transceiver port.
CAUTION: Disconnect all cables before removing or installing any transceivers or transceiver
adapters. Leaving the cable connected while handling the transceiver may damage the cable, the
cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the transceiver.
Do not remove and install transceivers more often than is necessary. Doing so can shorten the
useful life of the transceiver.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the dust plugs from the transceiver or the connector until you are ready
to connect the cable. The plugs protect the ports and connectors from contamination and ambient
light.
NOTE: Transceivers may have a bail clasp latch or a pull tab latch. If installing a transceiver with
a bail clasp latch, be sure the latch is closed before connecting the cable.
To install a transceiver or transceiver adapter:
IMPORTANT: Use only HP approved transceivers.
1. Verify the transceiver type by checking the label.
2. Remove the dust plug from the correct port.
3. Align the transceiver in front of the port with the label facing up.
4. Install the transceiver:
oQSFP+

Cabling 20
