Installation Procedures - All Deployments Step 3: Install MSA option kits If your plans include adding any of the available option kits for the MSA, install them now. It is easier to install these options before racking the system. Some of the available option kits include: additional controller cache, additional SCSI I/O module, additional MSA controller, and additional Fibre Channel I/O module. Note: Remove blanking panels only for the options being installed. For proper airflow and cooling, a blanking panel or component must be installed in the MSA chassis. Note: When installing an additional MSA controller, you must also obtain and install an additional Fibre Channel I/O module. Multi-path environments must include separate and complete Fibre Channel fabrics and the associated hardware and software components, including two controllers, two Fibre Channel I/O modules, two Fibre Channel switches, and two HBAs in each server. Note: When installing additional SCSI I/O modules, HP recommends populating the SCSI I/O module bays from right-to-left, so that the attached storage enclosures are added in pre-assigned box-number order. See "Recommended SCSI cable connections" on page 48 for more information. For information about installing the options, refer to the instructions that came with the option kit. Go to Table 10: "MSA1500 Information" on page 108 to record information about your option kits. 36 HP StorageWorks 1500 Modular Smart Array Installation Guide

Step 3: Install MSA option kits
If your plans include adding any of the available option kits for the MSA, install
them now. It is easier to install these options before racking the system.
Some of the available option kits include: additional controller cache, additional
SCSI I/O module, additional MSA controller, and additional Fibre Channel I/O
module.
Note:
Remove blanking panels only for the options being installed. For proper airflow
and cooling, a blanking panel or component must be installed in the MSA chassis.
Note:
When installing an additional MSA controller, you must also obtain and install
an additional Fibre Channel I/O module. Multi-path environments must include
separate and complete Fibre Channel fabrics and the associated hardware and
software components, including two controllers, two Fibre Channel I/O modules, two
Fibre Channel switches, and two HBAs in each server.
Note:
When installing additional SCSI I/O modules, HP recommends populating the
SCSI I/O module bays from right-to-left, so that the attached storage enclosures are
added in pre-assigned box-number order. See
“Recommended SCSI cable
connections” on page 48
for more information.
For information about installing the options, refer to the instructions that came
with the option kit.
