For a complete list of supported cables, see the QuickSpecs on
Cabling guidelines
* Only an MSA70 enclosure can be cascaded with another
MSA70. Do not mix with other types of storage enclosures.
•
Always use the shortest cables possible. The the maximum
supported cable length between SAS ports is 6 M (19.59
ft)
Power cords
The power cord should be approved for use in your country.
•
•
Only use supported SAS cables with 3-Gb connectors.
Always be sure that the servers attached to the MSA
enclosure are powered down and power cords are
disconnected before connecting SAS cables.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the equipment:
•
•
•
Do not disable the power cord grounding
plug. The grounding plug is an important
safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded
(earthed) electrical outlet that is easily
accessible at all times.
Do not route the power cord where it can
be walked on or pinched by items placed
against it. Pay particular attention to the
plug, electrical outlet, and the point where
the cord extends from the storage system.

Powering up
IMPORTANT: Always power up the enclosure first, and
3
then the server. This ensures that the servers, during their
discovery, see the enclosure as an operational device. If
you do not power up the enclosure before powering up the
servers, you will need to power down the servers, ensure
that the enclosure is powered up, and then power back up
the servers.

the server documentation.
Connect the SAS cables and power cords to the enclosure.
See “Choosing a configuration” on this poster.
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

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 guide 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:
html. 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.
