Operations Extend the chassis from the rack 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. Extend the chassis from the rack until it locks once.
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.
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.
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).

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. Remove the uplink module bay blank.
For more information, see the "Installation information and guidelines (on page 13)." 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.

Command Line Interface Connecting to the switch console To connect to the switch console, use one of the following methods: • To connect locally, use the serial console port ("Accessing the CLI locally" on page 21). • To connect remotely, be sure the management network is connected to the iLO CM management port ("Accessing the CLI remotely"...
Configure a static management IP address or use DHCP services to assign a management IP address. • Configure access authentication methods. To see configuration procedures, see the HP Moonshot-45XGc Switch Fundamentals Configuration Guide in the HP Moonshot Switch Library (http://www.hp.com/go/moonshot/XGcSwitch).

External ports are located on slot 1. • The port identifies the specific physical port or logical interface being managed on a given slot. To learn more, see switch documentation in the HP Moonshot Networking Library (http://www.hp.com/go/moonshot/networking). Network mapping 27...
Moonshot-45XGc downlink interfaces Interfaces 1/0/1–1/0/45 are the downlinks to the cartridge nodes. Each SoC is identified as a cartridge node. The iLO CM firmware identifies each node as cxny, where c is the cartridge and n is the node. Switch interfaces correspond to cartridge nodes, respectively. For example, c28n1 corresponds to cartridge 28, node 1, and interface 1/0/28.
The HP Moonshot System Troubleshooting Guide provides procedures for resolving common problems and comprehensive courses of action for fault isolation and identification, issue resolution, and software maintenance on the HP Moonshot System. The document is available in the HP Moonshot Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/moonshot/docs).
HP specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CSR part whether a defective part must be returned to HP. In cases where it is required to return the defective part to HP, you must ship the defective part back to HP within a defined period of time, normally five (5) business days. The defective part must be returned with the associated documentation in the provided shipping material.
Optional—Parts for which customer self repair is optional. These parts are also designed for customer self repair. If, however, you require that HP replace them for you, there may or may not be additional charges, depending on the type of warranty service designated for your product.
Removal and replacement procedures Removing the switch module CAUTION: Be sure to save the running-configuration of the switch before removing any switch components. CAUTION: To avoid connectivity loss, do not remove switches already in operation. CAUTION: For proper cooling, be sure every switch module bay and uplink module bay has either a blank or a module installed.
