Rack the devices
Use the following instructions to rack both the MSA1000 and the 2/8q FC Switch.
● Mount all devices with the port-side facing the rear of the rack.
● Install hard drives after racking the MSA1000.
● Use appropriate caution when handling heavy items.
● Locate the heaviest items, such as uninterruptable power supplies, additional
storage enclosures, and the MSA1000 near the bottom of the rack.
l. Mark the holes for the rails on the front and the back of the rack.
Use the Universal 4U template for the MSA1000, and use the Universal 2U
template for the 2/8q FC Switch.
2. Install the rails for the MSA1000.
From the front of the rack, install the Universal 4U rails, verifying that the pins
on the front and back of the rails extend through the marked holes, and the
scissor-type locking latches engage.
Note: If the holes in the rack are round instead of square, remove the standard pins from the
rails and replace them with the provided round-hole pins.
3. Rack the MSA1000.
Remove the bezel from the front of the MSA1000, and then, from the front of the
rack, slide the device onto the rails until the flanges on the device are flush with
the front of the rack. Secure the thumbscrews on the flanges to the rack, and then
re-attach the bezel to the front of the device.
4. Install the rails for the 2/8q FC Switch.
From the rear of the rack, install the Universal 2U rails, verifying that the pins on
the front and the back of the rails extend through the marked holes, and the
scissor-type locking latches engage.
5. Rack the 2/8q FC Switch.
Use four of the provided screws to attach the switch mounting adapter brackets to
the sides of the switch, so that the port-side of the switch faces the front flanges of
the brackets. Then, from the rear of the rack, slide the assembly onto the rails
until the flanges on the brackets are flush with the rear of the rack. Use the
remaining provided screws to secure the flanges to the rack.
Note for HA Upgrade kits: Rack the redundant switch.
6. For each device, move the rail retaining brackets from the far edge of the rails to a
position where they connect with the back of the device, and then tighten the
thumbscrews on the brackets to secure them.

Install the hard drives
1. Remove the hard drive blanks from the drive bays in the MSA1000.
Note: Remove blanks only from bays in which you are installing hard drives. For proper
airflow and cooling, blanks must remain in any unused bays.
2. On the hard drive to be installed, press the ejector button and pivot the lever
to a full open position.
3. Insert the hard drive into the vacant drive bay 1.
With the ejector lever in the full open position, press firmly on the front of the
hard drive to seat the drive in the bay.
4. Close the ejector lever against the front of the drive 2.

Optional, for HA Upgrade kits:
Install redundant MSA1000 options
If you are installing an HA Upgrade kit, install the following items in the MSA1000:
● Redundant MSA1000 Controller
● Redundant Fibre Channel I/O Module
For installation instructions, refer to the documents included with the option kits.
Note: A redundant switch and additional HBAs are included in the HA Upgrade kit. Follow these
instructions and install these items when prompted.
6
Install the HBAs
Note: If the server is not yet installed and configured, do so at this time. Follow the
instructions included with the server and the operating system.
The HBA (Host Bus Adapter) is used to connect cables from the server to the
switch, whose cables then connect to the MSA1000.
One or more HBAs must be installed in each server that will access the
MSA1000. Simple, single-path configurations need only one HBA in each
server, while redundant, multi-path environments require two HBAs in each
server.
Installation procedures vary by server, but sample procedures are summarized
below:
1. Shut down and remove power from the server.
2. Remove the server cover.
3. Identify the PCI bus slot to use, and then remove the cover blank for that slot.
4. Place the HBA in the slot, pressing on the HBA board until seated.
5. Secure the HBA to the chassis.
Note for HA Upgrade kits: Install a redundant HBA in each server.
6. Replace the server cover.
7. Repeat these steps for each server with access to the MSA1000.
Note: Do not install an HBA driver on the server at this time. Drivers are included on the
Small Business SAN Software CD, and are installed in Step 10.
Notes for HA Upgrade kits
● If you are installing a Small Business SAN kit and an HA Upgrade kit at
the same time, or using an HA Upgrade kit to convert an existing
MSA1000 Small Business SAN to a multi-path or clustered-server
configuration, use this document to install the hardware and software
components in the kit.
● Basic failover protection software is provided on the Small Business
SAN Software CD and is installed on the server during the configuration
process. Go to the MSA1000 web site (http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000) for
more information about this basic failover protection.

High Availability
High availability refers to deployments that include redundant hardware
components to ensure uninterrupted service.

● Multi-pathing information for the Small Business SAN is available on
the MSA1000 web site (http://www.hp.com/go/msa1000)
Server management best practices
● Before you install the HBA in the server, verify that the server is
operating properly. Follow instructions shipped with your server and
operating system.
● In Windows environments, be sure to install all operating system updates
and patches. A recently released update which supports multi-pathing
failover (MPIO) must be installed, before proceeding with this installation.
Go to the Mircrosoft web site (www.microsoft.com) to obtain this update.
● If more than one server will access the MSA1000, consider one of the
servers a management server, from which you will perform most tasks.
● In a clustered or multi-path configuration, install Small Business SAN
management software, such as the MPIO failover software and Array
Configuration Utility (ACU), on each server, even if you will perform most
tasks from a specific server.
