enclosure) are allowed in the storage system. • For Windows computers that are cabled to the MSA 2040 controller CLI port, a special device driver file must be downloaded and installed on the Windows computer prior to using the CLI port. This device driver file can be found on the HP MSA 2040 - HP MSA 2040 | HP MSA 2040 Cable Configuration Guide (729691-001, July 2013) - Page 6
2 Connecting the MSA 2040 array to remote management hosts The management host manages systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network. To connect the MSA 2040 array to a remote management host, connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the Ethernet network management port on each MSA 2040 controller to a - HP MSA 2040 | HP MSA 2040 Cable Configuration Guide (729691-001, July 2013) - Page 7
HP, see the HP MSA 2040 QuickSpecs. • Eight enclosures maximum (including the array enclosure) are supported. Fault-tolerant and straight-through drive enclosure cabling MSA 2040 firmware supports both fault-tolerant and straight-through SAS cabling. Fault-tolerant cabling allows any drive enclosure - HP MSA 2040 | HP MSA 2040 Cable Configuration Guide (729691-001, July 2013) - Page 8
drive enclosure (shown in red). Straight-through cabling example The following figure shows An MSA 2040 array connected to two D2700 drive enclosures using straight-through cabling. Straight-through cabling requires that you connect MSA 2040 controller A to I/O module A of the first drive enclosure - HP MSA 2040 | HP MSA 2040 Cable Configuration Guide (729691-001, July 2013) - Page 9

of expanding storage from an MSA 2040 array enclosure to multiple drive enclosures of different models. Connecting an MSA 2040/D2700 mixed-connect configuration The following figure shows a dual-controller MSA 2040 array connected to MSA 2040 and D2700 drive enclosures. There are no restrictions - HP MSA 2040 | HP MSA 2040 Cable Configuration Guide (729691-001, July 2013) - Page 13
drives and the MSA 2040 SFF controller enclosure contains 24 disk drives. Combined, the total number of disk drives in this array configuration add up to the maximum 199 drives allowed. NOTE: When connecting more than two drive enclosures, you may be required to purchase additional 1m or 2m cables - HP MSA 2040 | HP MSA 2040 Cable Configuration Guide (729691-001, July 2013) - Page 14
an array configuration. An MSA 2040 array is connected to seven MSA 2040 drive enclosures. Each MSA 2040 drive enclosure contains 12 drives, and the MSA 2040 LFF controller enclosure contains 12 drives. Combined, the total number of drives adds up to 96 LFF drives, but no additional enclosures can - HP MSA 2040 | HP MSA 2040 Cable Configuration Guide (729691-001, July 2013) - Page 15
