Installing a new MSA system

The Setup tab provides an interactive checklist of the key steps of successfully installing a new MSA

system. To use this tab, do the following:

1. Obtain the following documents that are needed when installing an MSA array:

• Racking installation instructions poster

• MSA systems installation instructions poster

If printed versions of the posters are not available, obtain PDF versions from the DVD Documents

tab. For more information, see “Obtaining user documents” (page 7).

2. In the bottom row of tabs in the DVD interface, select the Setup tab, and in the top row of

tabs, select the P2000 G3 or MSA2000/MSA2000 G2 tab, depending on the family of your

MSA.

3. Select your MSA model from the list in the left pane. A brief installation and setup checklist

for that MSA model is displayed in the right portion of the screen, with a link to the product

user guide just above the checklist table.

4. Click the link to the MSA user guide and save the PDF to a location on the system.

5. Using the installation checklist and its embedded hot-links, along with the racking instructions

poster, MSA installation instructions poster, and user guide, install and configure the MSA.
