HP MSA 2040 3.5-inch Large Form Factor Drive Enclosure I/O Module Firmware S200B26 Release Notes (579176-004, June 2013)

Version:
S200B26
Description
This package delivers firmware for MSA 2040 drive enclosure I/O modules and includes enhanced
features or fixes to issues found during use and additional qualification testing.
NOTE:
• If this drive enclosure is connected to an HP MSA 2040 array controller enclosure and you plan
to update the firmware on the controller, this firmware package is not needed, because drive
enclosure I/O module firmware is included in the controller firmware bundle. When installing a
controller firmware bundle that includes both controller and I/O module firmware, the installation
process updates firmware on controllers in the array enclosure and on I/O modules in the attached
drive enclosures.
• For a list of companion controller and drive enclosure firmware, see “Additional devices supported”
(page 3).
