HP MSA 2040 Quick Start Instructions

3. Connect each power supply module in all attached expansion drive enclosures to a power
source in the rack. If the drive enclosures have power switches, apply power. If the drive
enclosures do not have power switches, they automatically start.
4. Wait one minute to ensure that all drives in the drive enclosure are powered up and ready.
5. Connect each power supply module in the MSA 2040 to a power source in the rack. The
MSA 2040 automatically starts (it does not have a power switch).
6. Observe the LEDs on the front and the rear of the MSA 2040 and any expansion drive
enclosures, and confirm that no LEDs are amber.
7. Power on the servers (if necessary).
Step 7: Update firmware on all components
After installing hardware and powering on devices for the first time, verify that MSA 2040 controller
modules, expansion drive enclosure I/O modules, and all disk drives are running the latest available
firmware. If updates are necessary, obtain the firmware from the HP website and use the SMU to
install the downloaded firmware. For information, see the HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide.
Step 8: Configure the MSA 2040
Key configuration steps include setting the system date and time, entering system parameters, and
configuring storage volumes. For more information, see the HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide.
