If a USB device driver is discovered, the output will display:
ID 210c:a4a7
The ID above is comprised of vendor ID and product ID terms as shown in
IMPORTANT: Although Linux systems do not require installation of a device driver, on some operating system
versions, certain parameters must be provided during driver loading to enable recognition of the MSA 1050 controllers.
To load the Linux device driver with the correct parameters on these systems, the following command is required:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x210c product=0xa4a7 use_acm=1
Optionally, the information can be incorporated into the /etc/modules.conf file.

Preparing a Windows computer for cabling to the CLI port

A Windows USB device driver is used for communicating directly with the controller command-line interface port using a
USB cable to connect the controller enclosure and the computer.
IMPORTANT: If using Windows 10/Server 2016, the operating system provides a native USB serial driver that supports
the controller module's USB CLI port. However, if using an older version of Windows, you should download and install the
USB device driver from your HPE MSA support page at www.hpe.com/support/downloads.

Obtaining IP values

One method of obtaining IP values for your system is to use a network management utility to discover "HPE MSA
Storage" devices on the local LAN through SNMP. Alternative methods for obtaining IP values for your system are
described in the following subsections.

Setting network port IP addresses using DHCP

In DHCP mode, network port IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values are obtained from a DHCP server if one is
available. If a DHCP server is unavailable, current addressing is unchanged.
1. Look in the DHCP server's pool of leased addresses for two IP addresses assigned to "HPE MSA Storage."
2. Use a ping broadcast to try to identify the device through the ARP table of the host.
If you do not have a DHCP server, you will need to ask your system administrator to allocate two IP addresses, and
set them using the command-line interface during initial configuration (described below).
NOTE: For more information, see the Configuration Wizard topic about network configuration within the SMU
Reference Guide.

Setting network port IP addresses using the CLI port and cable

You can set network port IP addresses manually using the command-line interface port and cable. If you have not done
so already, you need to enable your system for using the command-line interface port [also see
