Additional Information; Verifying Proper Operation - HP MSA 2040 Installation Instructions

NOTE: The illustration is for reference
only. In a single-controller system, insert the
controller module into module A, top
location.
NOTE: After installing a controller in an
operational, dual-controller system, the new
controller automatically begins to initialize.
If the firmware versions differ between the
two controllers, Partner Firmware Upgrade
feature brings the older firmware to the
later firmware level.
3. In operational systems, if additional hardware
components, such as a second controller, need
replacing or installing, wait 30 minutes before
proceeding with those procedures. This time frame
ensures that the controller(s) and their ownership
of vdisks are fully stabilized.

Verifying proper operation

After installing the controller module, check the module
status. For LED descriptions, see
If the Fault/Service Required LED is amber, the module
is not online and likely failed its self-test. Remove and
reinstall the module.
If the problem is not resolved, refer to your array
troubleshooting information.
Table 1 LED descriptions
Module LED Description
FRU OK
Solid Green = Module is operating
normally
Blink = System is starting up
Off = Module is NOT operating
normally
Fault/Service Required
Solid Amber = Fault condition
Blinking Amber =
Hardware-controlled power-up or
cache flush/restore error
Off = No fault conditions
Verifying the firmware version
After installing a controller, verify that the latest
firmware is installed on all controllers in the enclosure.
Go to the HP Support website at
support and navigate to the page for your enclosure.

If newer firmware is available, download the firmware
from the Web to your local system and install that
latest version on the controllers. For more information
on firmware updates, see the enclosure user guide.
Upgrading from single-controllers to
dual-controllers
As appropriate for your environment, connect cables
from this new module to the host or other disk
enclosures. For more information about cabling and
configuring the system, see the user guide.
