MSA 1040 is old product now and as of now there is no news I am aware that ESX 6.5 U2 will be supported or not. I would suggest you to check SPOCK before implementing any configuration.
Also request you to mark the forum as resolved if there is no more outstanding query from your end on this issue.
This will help for everyone who are all following your forum.
Hope this helps!
