Overview
The HPE Edgeline EL8000 Converged Edge System is designed to help communication service providers capitalize on data-
intensive, low-latency services for media delivery, connected mobility, and smart cities. With the ability to process the
increasing amount of data in real time directly at the edge, the system boosts flexibility and reduces costs by using open
standards. By reducing the need for proprietary edge systems, the HPE EL8000 enables enhanced performance and versatility
for data-intensive real-time digital services while providing a compact, ruggedized design, modular blade and chassis options,
and even one-click provisioning and remote system management.
The HPE EL8000 Chassis Manager is a remote management tool embedded in certain HPE Edgeline systems. The software
allows system administrators to remotely configure, update, and monitor chassis health and activity. The embedded EL8000
CM management module has its own network connection and IP address to which administrators connect on their dedicated
management network. HPE Edgeline systems with the EL8000 CM can be connected to a management network using
Ethernet. The EL8000 CM oers both a web-based console (GUI) and a command line interface (CLI).
This guide includes setup and configuration information for the HPE EL8000 chassis. See http://www.hpe.com/support/
e910-UMG-en for information about HPE ProLiant e910 Server Blade setup, configuration, and operating system installation.
6Overview
Setup and configuration
Checklist
Complete this checklist to set up, install, and configure your new HPE Edgeline EL8000 Converged Edge System.
1. Unbox the system and identify the components.
2. Verify that the intended installation site conforms to space, airflow, temperature, and power requirements.
3. Install one or more blades in the chassis if necessary.
4. Determine the rack depth compatibility of the system, and then install it in a rack:
•Two-post rack
•Four-post rack
5. Prepare to configure the system:
a. Verify network connectivity
b. Plan for network address
6. Connect to the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager and configure the system using one of the available methods:
•Connect to the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager web interface.
•Connect to the Edgeline EL8000 Chassis Manager CLI using serial cable.
7. Register your system with HPE.

Planning the installation
Safety and regulatory compliance
For safety, environmental, and regulatory information, see Safety and Compliance Information for Server, Storage, Power,
Networking, and Rack Products, available at the HPE website (http://www.hpe.com/support/Safety-Compliance-
EnterpriseProducts).
Site requirements
Before installing the system, verify that the following site requirements are met:
• Space and airflow requirements
• Temperature requirements
• Power requirements
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you install or position the system in a location with restricted access, where the
access is secured and controlled. The users/technicians handling the system must be informed about the restrictions applied
and precautions to be taken.
Space and airflow requirement
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, leave a minimum clearance of 20 cm (79 in) around the system.
Power requirement
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and regional electrical regulations governing the installation of
information technology 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, see the product rating label or the user documentation
supplied with that option.
Single power supply workload planning
HPE recommends that you plan your system workloads carefully for systems with single power supply units. Workload
planning is particularly important when running the maximum number of 1U ProLiant e910 Server Blades in a system on a
single power supply. Avoid heavy workloads when running this configuration, or contact HPE to order a second power supply.
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated, climate-
controlled environment.
Configuration Temperature
Chassis with blades installed Operating temperature of up to 55°C (131°F)
