Installation Procedures - All Deployments Step 7: Install the HBA in your servers After you have confirmed that your servers are operating properly, install the HBA for the MSA in each server that will access the MSA. Because the MSA can be deployed into a variety of operating system environments and configurations (including single-path and multi-path), specific HBAs are required for the different deployments. To confirm that you purchased the correct HBA for your configuration, read the Release Notes and the compatibility guide, located on the Technical documents page of the MSA1500 website: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs. Caution: Be sure that power is removed from the server when installing the HBA, and do not apply power until instructed. Powering on the server before instructed may cause an unsupported HBA driver to be installed automatically by the operating system. For information about installing the HBA, refer to the instructions that came with the HBA or the server. Go to Table 12: "Server Information" on page 110 to record information about the HBA in each server that will connect to the MSA. Some information may be printed on the HBA or on its shipping carton. If this information is not available now, you can obtain it later through the Command Line Interface or by viewing the monitor connected to the server during the server power-on self-test (POST).

Step 7: Install the HBA in your servers
After you have confirmed that your servers are operating properly, install the HBA
for the MSA in each server that will access the MSA.
Because the MSA can be deployed into a variety of operating system
environments and configurations (including single-path and multi-path), specific
HBAs are required for the different deployments.
To confirm that you purchased the correct HBA for your configuration, read the
Release Notes and the compatibility guide, located on the Technical documents
page of the MSA1500 website:
.
Caution:
Be sure that power is removed from the server when installing the
HBA, and do not apply power until instructed.
Powering on the server before instructed may cause an unsupported HBA
driver to be installed automatically by the operating system.
For information about installing the HBA, refer to the instructions that came with
the HBA or the server.
Go to
Table 12
: “
Server Information
” on page 110
to record information
about the HBA in each server that will connect to the MSA.
Some information
may be printed on the HBA or on its shipping carton. If this information is not
available now, you can obtain it later through the Command Line Interface or by
viewing the monitor connected to the server during the server power-on self-test
(POST).
