To power up the storage enclosure: 

1.

 

Complete server hardware installation and cabling. See 

the server documentation. 

2.

 

Connect the SAS cables and power cords to the enclosure. 

See “Choosing a configuration” on this poster. 

3.

 

Press and hold the Power On/Standby button. Wait and 

observe the system power LED and fan modules. When the 

enclosure powers up, the system power LED illuminates 

solid green and the fans spin to a high speed, and then 

spin down to a low speed.

 

4.

 

Power up the servers. See the server documentation. 

7-segment display board 

When the MSA70 is connected to the host controller, the 

controller automatically assigns the port and box ID numbers to 

the enclosure. The 7–segment display board allows you to 

identify the port and box ID number assigned to the MSA70. 

See the user guid

e

 for more information. 

 

 

Press the up arrow key to view the port that the MSA70 is 

connected to. 

 

Press the up down arrow key to view the box ID number. 

 

 

NOTE:  

You can also view the port and box ID numbers within 

ACU, HP SIM, and ADU. 

 

 

Updating firmware 

After installing hardware and powering up the enclosure for the 

first time, be sure to verify that the host controller, the enclosure, 

and hard drives have the latest firmware. You can identify 

which firmware versions you have for the host controller, the 

MSA70, and the installed hard drives through HP SIM and 

ACU. ADU allows you to view the firmware versions for the host 

controller and hard drives, but not the MSA70. 

 

NOTE:  

The firmware for both SAS and SATA hard drives is 

upgradeable. 

 
For firmware and software updates, see the HP website:

. You can also update the firmware on the server, controller, 

enclosure, and hard drives using Smart Components. See 

“Smart Components for ROM Flash” in the user guide.
