Obtain the latest user documents

Locate MSA 2040 user guides to help with the planning, installation, and configuration processes.

User documents are available on the DVD shipped with the MSA 2040, with the most recent

versions on the MSA 2040 website at http://www.hp.com/support/msa2040/Manuals.

Confirm support for your hardware and software components

Confirm that the devices you plan to connect and their installed firmware and software versions

are supported for use with each other. The latest support information is available on the HP Single

Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) website at http://www.hp.com/storage/spock.

Verify the operating environment

Review the HP MSA 2040 User Guide and ensure that all environmental requirements are met,

including site wiring and electrical power inputs, ventilation and cooling, and weight considerations.

Install the MSA 2040

Use the following steps to install your MSA 2040. For more information, see the HP MSA 2040

User Guide.

Step 1. Install device into the rack

Use the instructions provided with the rack mounting kits or other devices to rack the MSA 2040,

expansion drive enclosures, switches, and servers.

WARNING! At least two people are needed to lift a fully populated MSA 2040 or expansion

drive enclosure into the rack. If the enclosure is being loaded into the rack above chest level, a

third person must assist with aligning the enclosure with the rails, while the other two people support

the weight of the enclosure.

Step 2. Connect expansion drive enclosures

If expansion drive enclosures are included in your environment, connect SAS cables per their

cabling plan, either straight-through or Fault tolerant. Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cables are required

for each drive enclosure.

The following drive enclosures are supported:

DescriptionDrive enclosure model

6Gb SAS 3.5” 12-drive enclosureHP MSA 2040 LFF Disk Enclosure

6Gb SAS 3.5” 12-drive enclosureHP P2000 LFF Drive Enclosure

6Gb SAS 2.5” 25-drive enclosureHP D2700 Disk Enclosure

Drive enclosure connection guidelines

•Expansion drive enclosures can be connected to an operational MSA 2040.

•Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS 0.5 m (1.64 ft) cables are provided with MSA 2040, P2000 and

D2700 drive enclosures (one for each I/O module).

•The maximum length cable supported for connecting drive enclosures is 2 m (6.56 ft).

•Cables longer than those supplied with the drive enclosure must be purchased separately. For

a list of cables available from HP, see the HP MSA 2040 QuickSpecs.

•The maximum number of enclosures supported in an MSA 2040 solution is eight (one MSA

2040 and up to seven expansion drive enclosures).

Example MSA 2040 drive enclosure connections

MSA 2040 firmware supports both fault-tolerant and straight-through SAS cabling to cascaded

drive enclosures. For more information about these cabling schemes and for additional cabling

examples, see the HP MSA 2040 Cabling Configuration Guide.

Install the MSA 2040 5

The following image illustrates connecting two D2700 drive enclosures to an MSA 2040 using a

straight-through cabling scheme.

The following image illustrates connecting two D2700 drive enclosures to an MSA 2040 using a

fault-tolerant cabling scheme.

Step 3. Connect the MSA 2040 to data hosts

Direct-connect and switch-connect environments are supported. For direct-connect configurations,

connect cables from the MSA 2040 to the host. For switch-connect configurations, connect cables

from the MSA 2040 to the switch ports and from the switch ports to the hosts.

MSA 2040 connection guidelines

•No host interface cables are shipped with MSA 2040 enclosures. For a list of cables available

from HP, see the HP MSA 2040 QuickSpecs.

•In direct-connect deployments, connect each host to the same port on both of the MSA

controllers.

•In switch-connect deployments, connect an MSA Controller A port and the corresponding

MSA Controller B port to one switch, and connect a second MSA Controller A port and the

corresponding MSA Controller B port to a separate switch.

Example MSA 2040 connections

The following image illustrates connecting an MSA 2040 FC to two switches, and the two switches

connecting to two servers. Eight Fibre Channel cables are required.

For more cabling examples, including connecting directly to a server, see the HP MSA 2040

Cabling Configuration Guide.

Step 4. Connect the MSA 2040 to a remote management host (optional)

A remote management host directly manages systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network.

If a remote management host is included in your environment, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable

from the network management port on each MSA 2040 controller to a switch that your management

host can access (preferably on the same subnet).

Step 5. Connect two MSA 2040 systems to replicate volumes (optional)

HP MSA Remote Snap Software is an optional licensed disaster-recovery utility that performs

asynchronous (batch) replication of block-level data from a volume on a primary MSA 2040 to a

secondary volume on the same system or on a separate, independent MSA 2040. These two MSA

2040 systems connect through switches and are on the same fabric or network.

For more information about Remote Snap Software, including cabling requirements and user

information, see the HP MSA 2040 User Guide,HP MSA 2040 SMU Reference Guide, and Remote

Snap online help.

Step 6. Connect power cords and power on devices

IMPORTANT:

•The power cord must be approved for use in your country. The power cord must be rated for

the product and for the voltage and current marked on the electrical ratings label of the product.

•Important safety information about power cords is available in the Safety and Disposal Guide,

found on the Software Support/Documentation DVD shipped with the MSA 2040.

Apply power to the devices in the following order:

1. Connect power cords from the rack to separate external power sources.

2. Power on the SAN/LAN switches (if necessary).

Install the MSA 2040 7

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.
