Step 7: Update firmware on all components
After installing hardware and powering on devices
for the first time, verify that MSA 1040 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 1040 SMU Reference Guide.
Step 8: Configure the MSA 1040
Key configuration steps include setting the system date
and time, entering system parameters, configuring
storage volumes, and setting up SNMP trap and email
alert destinations. For more information, see the HP
MSA 1040 SMU Reference Guide.
