1 Overview
The purpose of this document is to provide clear instructions on how to install Linux
CentOS8.2 on the SSD7505 controller.
For the CentOS8.2 (kernel: 4.18.0-193.el8)
Mirror link:
http://mirror.bit.edu.cn/centos/8.2.2004/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.2.2004-x86_64-dvd1.iso

2 Installing Linux CentOS8.2 on SSD7505 controller
If you would like to install Linux CentOS8.2 onto drives attached to SSD7505 controller,
please perform the following operations:
Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation
After you attach your NVMe SSD to SSD7505 controller, you can use SSD7505 EFI
Utility to configure your NVMe SSD as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.
Before installation, you must remove all the NVMe SSD, which are not physically
attached to SSD7505 controller, from your system.
Note
SSD7505 only support EFI boot. If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must
make sure the SSD7505 controller EFI will be loaded firstly. If not, try to move it to
another PCI slot. Otherwise you may be unable to boot up your system.
Step 2 Check System EFI Settings
In your system EFI SETUP menu, change Boot Sequence in such a way that the system
will first boot from EFI CDROM, and then from SSD7505 RAID. Refer to your
motherboard EFI manual to see how to set boot sequence.
If your EFI settings do not support such a boot sequence, you can first set it to boot from
EFI CDROM. After you finish installation, set SSD7505 RAID as the first boot device to
boot up the system.
1. Set UEFI setting with SuperMicro X11DPi-NT motherboard as an example:
a. Set "Boot->mode select" to "UEFI";

b. Set "Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration->CPUSlot PCI-E OPROM" to "EFI".
If the SSD7505 has been connected to the motherboard CPU1Slot2 PCI-E X16，
you should set "CPU1Slot2 PCI-E X16 OPROM" to "EFI"；
c. Disable "Secure Boot", set " Secure Boot " to "Disabled"。
2. Set UEFI setting with ASUS PRIME X299 -DELUXE motherboard as an example
a. Set " Boot->CSM->Boot from Storage Devices" to "UEFI driver first";

b. And " Boot->CSM->Boot Device Control" to "UEFI Only" or "UEFI and Legacy
OPROM";
c. Set " Boot->Secure Boot->OS Type" to "Other OS".
3. Set UEFI setting with GA-X570 AORUS MASTER motherboard as an example
a. Set " Boot->CSM Support " to "Enabled";
b. And " Boot-> Storage Boot Option Control " to "UEFI Only";

Step 3 Flash UEFI Rom to SSD7505
a. Unzip SSD7505 UEFI package to root dir (/) of a USB flash driver, and insert the
USB flash drive to the motherboard;
b. Booting from the UEFI USB flash and enter the UEFI environment;
c. Command with “go.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to SSD7505 Controller and reboot;
Step 4 Create Array
a. Attach four NVMe SSD to SSD7505 Controller;
Note
Make%sure%your%USB%flash%partition%format%is%FAT32.%
b. Boot, in the presence of the motherboard Log screen, there will be NVMe SSD

c. Enter the motherboard’s Boot List and select start from UEFI USB flash:
d. Command ”Arraycreate.efi” to enter the Utility:
e. Command “create RAID0 ”.
Create RAID0 array with all disks and with maximum capacity.
f. Command “exit”；
g. For more command usages, refer to Appendix A.
Step 5 Prepare the Driver Diskette
a. Extract HighPoint_NVMe_CentOS_8u2_x86_64_ vx.x.x_xx_xx_xx.tar.gz to top(/)
directory of an USB flash drive. It will look like:

# mkdir /dd ←Create mount point for USB flash drive
# mount /dev/sda1 /dd ←Mount the USB flash drive to /dd
#cp -a /dd/hptdd /tmp/hptdd ←Copy driver installation
file to system temporary directory
# umount /dd ←Unmount the USB flash drive
When the USB flash drive is unmounted, please unplug the USB flash drive from the
mainboard. And then execute following command to install driver to install the Linux
CentOS.
#sh /tmp/hptdd/rhel-install-step1.sh ←Load SSD7505 driver.
e. After the above steps are completed, the system will automatically return to the

←Copy the driver installation file to SSD7505.
# chroot /mnt/sysimage ←Switch to the top(/)
directory in the SSD7505 system.
# sh /tmp/hptdd/rhel-install-step2.sh
←Install SSD7505 driver.
# rm -rf /tmp/hptdd ←Delete the driver file in SSD7505.
# exit ←Exit the top(/) directory of the SSD7505 system.
h. Press Ctrl+ALT+F6 and Select "Reboot" to complete the installation。
i. Open source driver needs to be installed after system installation.
Linux open source driver link, open the following link to enter the "Software Download"
page to download:
