Applying Power
Before applying power to the MSA1000, all components of the storage system
must be installed and connected to the supported interconnect options. Hard drives
should be installed in the MSA1000 so that they can be identified and configured
at power up.
The MSA1000 components should be powered up in the following sequence:
1. Storage Expansion Enclosures
2. MSA1000
Power on the MSA1000 using the switch located in the far-right lower area of
the front panel of the MSA1000. After powering on, wait until the message
“
MSA1000 Startup Complete” appears on your display. This process may
take up to two minutes.
3. Interconnect Devices
4. Server(s)
