2 Installing Linux Debian on RR Series RAID

controller

If you would like to install Linux Debian onto drives attached to RR Series RAID

controller, please perform the following operations:

Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation

After you attach your hard disks to RAID controller, you can use EFI Utility to configure

your hard disks as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.

Before installation, you must remove all the ard disks, which are not physically attached

to RAID controller, from your system.

Note

RAID Controller support EFI boot If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must

make sure the RR Series 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 or EFI a Bootable USB drive, after you finish

installation, set RR Series RAID as the first boot device to boot up the system. Refer to

your motherboard EFI manual to see how to set boot sequence.

1. Set UEFI setting with SuperMicro X11DPi-NT motherboard as an example.

a. "Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration->CPUSlot PCI-E OPROM"

to "EFI". Suppose Controller is connected to motherboard CPU1 Slot 2 PCI-E

X16, then you should set "CPU1 Slot 2 PCI-E X16 OPROM" to "EFI";

a. Unzip RR640L UEFI package to root dir(/) of a USB flash drive, and insert the

USB flash drive to the motherboard;

b. Booting from the UEFI USB flash and enter the UEFI environment;

c. Command with “rr640l.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to RR640L Controller and reboot;

For RR620L:

commands to copy the driver contents:

# mkdir /hptdd ← Create mount point for USB flash drive

# mount /dev/sda1 /hptdd/ ← Mount the USB flash drive to /hptdd

# cp -a /hptdd /tmp/ ← Copy driver installation file to system temporary
