Hot-Pluggable
The MSA Fabric Switch 6 is hot-pluggable. The unit can be installed and replaced
without power-cycling the MSA1000.
When adding or replacing a switch, allow sufficient time to complete the power-on
self-tests (POST) and configuration tasks before using.
To power on the unit properly:
1. Power on the MSA1000.
On power up, the switch will run several POST tests and the GSI indicator will
display changing patterns (refer to the section “Reading the Global Service
Indicator” in Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting”).
2. Power on I/O device(s).
3. Verify that the storage device(s) are visible to the host(s).
4. Start Applications.
Before the MSA Fabric Switch 6 can communicate with Compaq-managed devices,
all devices must be properly configured, connected, and powered up. See Chapter 2,
“Initial Configuration of the Switch,” for installation instructions.
