DS-MG521-AA User Manual

[Eyovin]

Hello,

I'm looking for the user manual for the "HP/Compaq DS-MG521-AA", I've looked everywhere (even on the HPE site!) and have not been able to locate a copy. I was hoping someone could either point me in the right location or perhaps be able to dig a copy of it out?

I've tried asking the live chat on the HPE website, only to be sent to this one (HP) with the agent stating that this query (even though it is enterprise related) was nothing to do with the enterprise side of HP!!!

Many thanks!

describing what a "DS-MG521-AA " actually is might increase your chance of a useful answer as it is i'm guessing you are talking about

the HP Compaq M 5214 StorageWorks,.... is available various drive capacities, and is a fibre channel multi bay hard drive enclosure

there are SATA to FC adapter modules which allow you to run normal SATA drives in this enclosure one common one is the 

Emulex EMC SATA to FC Fibre Channel Conversion Adapter Interposer 250-135-900D

Many thanks, Paul_Tikkanen!

That document is a good starting point for me, it's just a little strange there's no more documentation regarding the device anywhere.

You're very welcome.

You may get someone on the HP enterprise support forum to be able to help you better than I could.

HP split into two companies a few years ago, and the device in question is really a HP Enterprise - supported product.

HP supports PC's, printers, tablets and calculators.

HP Enterprise (HPE) supports servers, switches, router, storage devices.

I suggest that you post your question in this section of the HP Enterprise support forum...MSA Storage
