Installation Manual

Installing the chassis 22
WARNING: The chassis is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, do the following:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. The chassis weighs more than 81.65 kg (180.00 lb), so at
least four people must lift the chassis into the rack together. An additional person may be
required to help align the chassis if the chassis is installed higher than chest level.
WARNING: To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, do not stack anything
on top of rail-mounted equipment or use it as a work surface when extended from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
• The rack is bolted to the floor using the concrete anchor kit.
• The leveling feet extend to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple rack installations.
• Only one component is extended at a time. If more than one component is extended, a rack
might become unstable.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack is
adequately stabilized before installing the chassis.
CAUTION: Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest item is on the bottom of the rack.
Install the heaviest item first, and continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the product parallel to the floor when installing the chassis. Tilting the
product up or down could result in damage to the slides.
CAUTION: HP has not tested or validated the HP Moonshot 1500 Chassis with any third-party
racks. Before installing the HP Moonshot 1500 Chassis in a third-party rack, be sure to properly
scope the limitations of the rack. Before proceeding with the installation, consider the following:
• You must fully understand the static and dynamic load carrying capacity of the rack and be
sure that it can accommodate the weight of the HP Moonshot 1500 Chassis.
• Be sure sufficient clearance exists for cabling, installation and removal of the chassis, and
actuation of the rack doors.
Due to the height of the chassis, you are required to use one of the following when installing the chassis:
• Rack rail adapter kit
• Blanking panel
For more information, see "Determining the chassis rack spacing (on page 21)."
To install the chassis:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, you must fully
extend the rails. To fully extend the rails, press the push tabs and extend the rails until the rails click
twice.
