The HPE 10GB Moonshot Uplink 16 Ports Expansion Module is an add-on component that can be installed in HPE Moonshot server chassis to expand the number of uplink ports available for networking.
Here are the general steps to install and configure the expansion module:
- Shut down the Moonshot chassis and unplug all power cables.
- Open the chassis cover and locate the expansion module slot. Depending on your chassis model, it may be located in different positions.
- Remove the blank filler panel from the slot by unscrewing the screws on the panel.
- Insert the expansion module into the slot and secure it in place by tightening the screws on the module.
- Connect the uplink cables to the expansion module's ports. Use compatible SFP+ or QSFP+ transceivers and cables for optimal performance.
- Close the chassis cover and reconnect the power cables.
- Power on the Moonshot chassis and wait for it to fully boot up.
- Log in to the Moonshot management interface, such as HPE OneView, to configure the expansion module's settings.
- Navigate to the networking section of the interface and locate the newly added uplink ports.
- Configure the ports as needed, such as assigning IP addresses and VLAN tags.
- Test the connectivity of the uplink ports by pinging a remote server or accessing the internet.
That's a general overview of the installation and configuration process. However, it's recommended to refer to the specific installation guide and user manual for your Moonshot chassis and expansion module for detailed instructions and specifications.
Physical Characteristics and DesignThe HPE 10GB Moonshot Uplink 16 Ports Expansion Module, part number 783263-B21, is a high-performance network switch designed for use with HPE Moonshot servers. The module provides 16 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, allowing for high-speed data transfer between servers or between servers and external networks.
