preinstalled on your MSA1000 Controller or if you need to download and install a
newer or alternative version from the Web:
1. With your MSA1000 powered-on, use the arrow buttons on the front of the
MSA1000 Controller to scroll through the messages until the following
message is displayed:
00 Array controller Firmware ver <version>
2. Record the version of the controller firmware on your MSA1000 in “My
MSA1000 Worksheets” on page 97 of this guide.
3. Go to the Software, Firmware & Drivers page of the MSA1000 website at
http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000
.
4. Under the Controller Firmware banner, select the entry for your server type
or operating system.
5. Read the screen display for the Web-version of the controller firmware and
record the Web-version of the firmware in “My MSA1000 Worksheets” on
page 97 of this guide.
6. If the Web-version of the controller firmware is a higher number than the
version provided with your MSA1000, follow the instructions provided on the
MSA1000 website to download and install this newer version of firmware on
your MSA1000.
