2 2 2 2 2 Prepare the site
To ensure continuous, safe, and reliable operation of your equipment, place your
system in an approved environment, which includes:
Adequate clearance space around the rack, for access and servicing:
- Front of the rack:
- Back of the rack:
Adequate power sources, including uninterruptable power supplies:
- Input voltage:
- Input frequency:
- Maximum input current:
- Maximum input power:
Adequate operating temperature and humidity levels:
- Temperature:
- Humidity:
Network best practices
Operate the MSA1510i in a dedicated iSCSI LAN, to isolate the iSCSI
network from corporate and external networks (strongly recommended).
Use 1000BaseT Ethernet NICS and switches throughout the network.
Use qualified Category 5e (or better) Ethernet cables throughout the network.
Draw a diagram of your network.
Assign static IP Address to devices in the network, including the MSA1510i.
Consider using the following system management and monitoring tools:
- Systems Insight Manager (SIM)
- Web Based Enterprise Services (WEBES)
- Open Service Event Manager (OSEM)
3 3 3 3 3 Prepare the server(s)
Install the following items on all servers with access to the MSA1510i:
From the Microsoft® web site:
http://www.microsoft.com
Latest MSA1510i-supported operating system service pack and patch kit
(As listed on the MSA1510i compatibility guide.)
Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6.0 or greater
From the MSA1510i installation software CD:
iSCSI initiator components
Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) software (multipath environments)
MSA1510i Device Specific Module (DSM) (multipath environments)
NOTE: The iSCSI initiator and MPIO software components are available on the MSA1510i web
site and the MSA1510i installation software CD shipped with the MSA. To ensure that you are
using the most recent versions, HP recommends obtaining these components from the MSA1510i
web site, if possible.

If you purchased additional modules for the MSA1510i, install the modules
now. It is easier to install them before racking the MSA1510i.
Available option kits include:
Redundant controller (multipathing).
Redundant 2-Port Ethernet iSCSI module (multipathing).
Additional SCSI I/O modules (additional storage enclosures).
NOTE: Remove blanking panels only from slots in which you are installing an option.
For proper airflow and cooling, blanks must remain in place.
6 6 6 6 6 Rack the MSA1510i and
storage enclosures
Mount all devices with the port-side facing the rear of the rack.
Install hard drives only after racking the enclosure.
Use appropriate caution when handling heavy items.
Locate the heaviest items, such as uninterruptable power supplies and
additional storage enclosures near the bottom of the rack.
The following instructions are generic. For details, see the documents shipped
with the MSA1510i or the storage enclosure.
l. Mark the holes for the location of the
rack rails on the front and the back
of the rack.
For your convenience, a mounting
template is shipped with the
MSA1510i.
2. Install the rails in the rack.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: When using the snap-in rail kit ,
verify that the pins on the front and back of
the rails extend through the marked holes
and the scissor-type locking latches engage.
If the holes in the rack are round instead of
square, remove the standard pins from the
rails and replace them with the provided
round-hole pins.
3. Rack the device.
Remove the bezel from the front of
the device before sliding the device
onto the rails. As appropriate to the
device, secure the mounting screws
on the device flanges to the rack,
and then, reattach the bezel to the
front.
NOTE: An MSA1510i can have up to four SCSI I/O modules installed, connecting to four
MSA30 storage enclosures or eight MSA20 SATA enclosures.
7 7 7 7 7 Install hard drives
After removing the hard drive blank, install the drive into the bay.
NOTE: Installation procedures differ for SATA and SCSI hard drives. See the instructions
shipped with your enclosure or hard drives.
Install hard drives only after racking the enclosure.
Remove blanks only from bays in which you are installing hard drives. For
proper airflow and cooling, blanks must remain in unused bays.
Press firmly on the front of the hard drive to ensure that the drive is fully
seated in the drive bay.
