Installing and configuring the HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis Before performing any cartridge-specific procedures, install the HPE ProLiant Moonshot 1500 Chassis. For more information on installing a chassis, see the HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis Setup and Installation Guide in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library (http://www.hpe.com/info/moonshot/ docs).
3. Wait while the chassis powers on. Verify the status of the power LED on the front panel of the chassis. For more information on the chassis power LEDs, see the HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis Setup and Installation Guide in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library (http://www.hpe.com/info/ moonshot/docs).
Installing the operating system The HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis supports up to 45 cartridges, each with a processor, drive, and memory, and can run an operating system. It is possible to load each cartridge individually with an OS via PXE. For OS deployment procedures, see the operating system deployment documentation in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library (http://www.hpe.com/info/moonshot/docs).
Procedure • Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations. • Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the cartridge. • Do not save the recovery key/password on the encrypted hard drive. Enabling the Trusted Platform Module Procedure 1.
