Unpacking the HP Moonshot System
Unpack the following hardware and prepare for installation:
•
HP Moonshot System
•
Accessory kit
•
Quick Deploy Rail System Kit
•
Blanking panel
Determining the chassis rack spacing
Up to seven chassis can be installed in a 36U, 1200-mm (47.24-in) deep rack. If installing more than one
chassis, install the first chassis in the bottom of the rack, and then install additional chassis by moving up the
rack with each subsequent chassis.
Due to the height of the Moonshot 1500 Chassis, chassis installation requires either the use of a rack rail
adapter kit or a blanking panel. If you ordered a rack rail adapter kit to be installed at the factory, then the
blanking panel is not required. If the rack rail adapter kit was not installed, then install the blanking panel
directly above the chassis. For more information, see "Installing the blanking panel (on page
)."
Installing the rack rails
The chassis requires installation in a rack. To install the rack rails, see the
