Operations
Power down the blade
Review the following information before powering down the blade:
• Before powering down a blade for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, always perform a backup
of critical blade data and programs.
• Depending on the blade model, the blade may be a single-node or a multi-node blade. Always power
down all nodes on the blade before removing it from the chassis.
• If you are powering down one node but leaving other nodes in a powered up state on the blade, the
blade power LED will remain illuminated, indicating at least one node is powered up.
Blades can be powered down individually and as a group of all blades in the chassis. Choose the
procedure in this section that fits your need.
When entering blade commands provided in this section, you can use one command to address multiple
blades. Use commas to separate non-contiguous numbers (omit spaces), or a dash to denote a range
(for example, C1,3-9N1-4). For more information about using commands, see the HPE Moonshot iLO
Chassis Management CLI User Guide in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library (
www.hpe.com/info/moonshot/docs).
Power down a blade remotely
http://
Procedure
1. Logging in to the iLO CM firmware on page 17.
2. Power down the blade by issuing the appropriate command:
• For a blade running a functioning OS:
◦ Single node:
set node power off shutdown C<x>N<y>
◦ Multiple nodes (4):
set node power off shutdown C<x>N1-4
• For a nonresponsive system or when an OS has not been installed:
◦ Multiple nodes (4):
set node power off force C<x>N1-4
• For all blades:
set node power off force all
3. Verify that the power is off by issuing the following command:
show node power {CxNy}
10 Operations
Power down a blade locally
Procedure
1. Logging in to the iLO CM firmware on page 17.
2. Power down the blade according to the current blade state:
• If the blade power LED is green, press and release the blade power button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS on any active nodes before
the blade enters standby mode.
• If the blade is unresponsive, press and hold the blade power button for 4 seconds to initiate a
forced shutdown of any active nodes.
• If the blade power LED is amber, the blade is in standby mode and no nodes are active. No further
action is required.
3. Verify that the power is off by reviewing the status of the blade power LED.
For more information, see Blade LEDs and buttons on page 6."
Extend the chassis from the rack
Procedure
1. 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.
2. Extend the chassis from the rack until it locks once.
3. Press the push tab on the rail, and then fully extend the chassis.
Operations 11
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-release
latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
4. After installing or maintaining the system, 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. Do not operate the chassis for long periods of time with the access
panel removed.
IMPORTANT: To maintain appropriate cooling, fans will operate at a high speed when the access
panel is removed.
IMPORTANT: When the access panel is removed, the blade might be placed into a low power
operating state to reduce thermal stress.
Procedure
1. If the locking latch is locked, use a T-15 Torx screwdriver to unlock the latch.
2. Open the locking latch.
The access panel slides back, releasing it from the chassis.
3. Lift and remove the access panel.
12 Operations
Turn the access panel over to locate the HPE Moonshot 1500 Chassis label. This label provides
information on LED status indicators, component identification, and blade and switch installation
procedures.
Remove the blade blank
CAUTION: For proper cooling, be sure that a blade or a blade blank is always installed in each
blade slot in the chassis. When replacing a blade, leave the blade slot empty for no more than 30
seconds. Failure to do so can disrupt airflow in the chassis.
Procedure
1. Extend the chassis from the rack on page 11.
2. Remove the access panel on page 12.
3. Remove the blade blank from the chassis.
Operations 13
Remove the blade
CAUTION: For proper cooling, be sure that a blade or a blade blank is always installed in each
blade slot in the chassis. When replacing a blade, leave the blade slot empty for no more than 30
seconds. Failure to do so can disrupt airflow in the chassis.
Procedure
1. Power down the node or blade (Power down the blade).
2. Extend the chassis from the rack on page 11.
3. Remove the access panel on page 12.
4. Remove the blade.
Install the blade
CAUTION: For proper cooling, be sure that a blade or a blade blank is always installed in each
blade slot in the chassis. When replacing a blade, leave the blade slot empty for no more than 30
seconds. Failure to do so can disrupt airflow in the chassis.
Procedure
1. Extend the chassis from the rack on page 11.
2. Remove the access panel on page 12.
3. Prepare the blade.
14 Operations
4. Do one of the following:
• Remove the blade on page 14.
• Remove the blade blank on page 13.
5. Align and install the blade into the chassis.
6. Install the access panel on page 16.
7. Slide the chassis back into the rack (Extend the chassis from the rack on page 11).
Install the blade blank
CAUTION: For proper cooling, be sure that a blade or a blade blank is always installed in each
blade slot in the chassis. When replacing a blade, leave the blade slot empty for no more than 30
seconds. Failure to do so can disrupt airflow in the chassis.
Procedure
1. Extend the chassis from the rack on page 11.
2. Remove the access panel on page 12
3. Align and install the blade into the chassis.
Operations 15
Install the access panel
IMPORTANT: After performing a procedure inside the chassis, always install the access panel on
the chassis when complete. Do not operate the chassis for long periods of time with the access
panel removed.
Procedure
1. Place the access panel on top of the chassis.
2. Slide the access panel toward the front of the chassis. The access panel locks into position.
Power up the blade
Review the following information before powering up the blade:
• Depending on the blade model, the blade may be a single-node or a multi-node blade.
• Upon installation into the chassis, auxiliary power is automatically provided to the blade. Depending on
the chassis autopower setting, nodes may power up automatically upon blade installation.
Blades can be powered up individually and as a group of all blades in the chassis. Choose the procedure
in this section that fits your need.
When entering blade commands provided in this section, you can use one command to address multiple
blades. Use commas to separate non-contiguous numbers (omit spaces), or a dash to denote a range
(for example, C1,3-9N1-4). For more information about using commands, see the HPE Moonshot iLO
Chassis Management CLI User Guide in the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library (http://
www.hpe.com/info/moonshot/docs).
Power up a blade remotely
Procedure
1. Logging in to the iLO CM firmware on page 17.
2. Show the installed blades to determine node status:
show node power {C<x>N<y>|all}
16 Operations
3. Power up the blade by issuing the appropriate command:
• Single node:
set node power on C<x>N<y>
• Multiple nodes (4):
set node power on C<x>N1-4
• For all blades:
set node power on all
4. Verify that the power is on by issuing the following command:
show node power {CxNy}
Power up a blade locally
Procedure
1. Press and release the blade power button.
This method powers on all nodes.

For more information, see Blade LEDs and buttons on page 6.
Logging in to the iLO CM firmware
Procedure
1. Connect to the iLO CM firmware locally or remotely.
To access the iLO CM firmware through the GUI, enter https://<iLO CM firmware host name
or IP address>. You must access the iLO CM firmware web interface through HTTPS.
• To connect remotely, use a browser or SSH session over the network.
• To connect locally, use a serial cable to connect a PC or terminal to the iLO CM management serial
port on the Moonshot 1500 CM module.
2. If no changes were made, enter the user name and password assigned for the chassis or the default
user name and password:
Default username:
Administrator
Default password:
