Description
Installation and setup Process
The HPE Moonshot-16SFP+ Uplink Expansion Module Kit (part number 784973-001) is designed to expand the uplink capacity of the HPE Moonshot System, allowing for more network connectivity and higher bandwidth. Here are the steps to install and set up the module kit:
- Power off the HPE Moonshot chassis and any connected modules.
- Remove the cover from the top of the chassis.
- Locate the uplink module bay at the rear of the chassis. It will be labeled “Uplink 1” or “Uplink 2”, depending on the configuration.
- Remove the blank module from the uplink module bay by loosening the two screws on either side of the module and gently pulling it out.
- Align the expansion module with the module bay and gently slide it in until it clicks into place.
- Secure the module in place by tightening the screws on either side of the module.
- Connect the appropriate cables to the SFP+ ports on the expansion module. The number and type of cables required will depend on your network configuration.
- Replace the chassis cover and power on the system.
Once the module is installed, you may need to configure it through the HPE Moonshot web interface. This will typically involve configuring network settings, such as IP addresses and VLANs, and assigning ports to specific networks. The exact steps will depend on your specific network configuration and requirements.
It is recommended that you consult the HPE Moonshot documentation or seek assistance from a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with the installation and configuration process.
