10. If expansion enclosures were connected to the controller enclosure, reconnect the expansion SAS cable from the expansion enclosures to
the MSA 1040 or MSA 2040/2042 controller SAS OUT port (see Figures 12, 13, 14, or 15).
11. Power on the expansion enclosures by inserting power cords. Some models have a physical switch for each power supply that must be
put into the On ( ) position. While enclosures power up, their LEDs blink. After the LEDs stop blinking, if no LEDs on the front and back
of the enclosure are amber, the power-on sequence is complete and no faults have been detected.
12. Power on the MSA 1040 or MSA 2040 enclosure by inserting power cords. Some models have a physical switch for each power supply
that must be put into the On ( ) position. If the MSA 1040 or MSA 2040 enclosure does not have power switches, plug power cords into
the power supplies to power up the enclosure.
13. Verify that the FRU status light is lit solid green on the back of the controllers before continuing. See Figures 12, 13, 14, or 15.
Determine and set the IP address of the new controllers
Before you can access the SMU GUI, you must determine the IP address of the new controllers. There are multiple ways to obtain the IP
addresses for an MSA 1040 or MSA 2040/2042 system:
Use the supplied mini-USB serial cable to verify the management IP address by using the show network-parameters command.
Find and record the two IP addresses assigned to an MSA 1040 or MSA 2040/2042 storage system able.
Use a network management utility to discover MSA 1040 or HPE MSA 2040/2042 storage systems on the local LAN through SNMP, for
example, HPE-SIM.
Connect to the HPE MSA 1040 or HPE MSA 2040/2042 using the mini-USB cable or to the SMU by using the discovered IP address in
your browser. If you are using DHCP, record the assigned IP addresses; otherwise set the IP address of the controller management ports
to the previous values you saved in Appendix A.
Update the MSA 1040 or MSA 2040/2042 controller firmware to the latest available version. See Technical Support/Manuals from
hpe.com/storage/msa1040, hpe.com/storage/msa2040, or hpe.com/storage/msa2042.
