2 Installing Linux Rocky Linux on SSD7000

controller

If you would like to install Linux Rocky Linux onto drives attached to SSD7000 controller,

please perform the following operations:

Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation

After you attach your NVMe SSD to SSD7000 controller, you can use SSD7000 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 SSD7000 controller, from your system.

Note

SSD7000 only support EFI boot. If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must

make sure the SSD7000 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 SSD7000 RAID controller 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 SSD7000 is connected to motherboard CPU1 Slot 2 PCI-E X16,

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

b. Disable "Secure Boot", set "Attempt Secure Boot" to "Disabled".

2. Set UEFI setting with ASUS PRIME X299 -DELUXE motherboard as an example:

a. Set "Boot from Storage Devices" to "UEFI driver first";

b. And "Boot Device Control" to "UEFI Only" or "UEFI and Legacy OPROM";

c. Set "OS Type" to "Other OS".

Step 3 Flash UEFI Rom to SSD7000

For Example SSD7505：

Note

：

Make sure your USB flash partition format is FAT32.

For other products, please refer to: Update UEFI ROM

a. Unzip SSD7000 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 “go.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to SSD7000 Controller and reboot;

Step 4 Create Array

a. Attach two NVMe SSD to SSD7000 Controller;

b. Boot, enter the motherboard’s Boot List and select start from UEFI USB flash:

c. Command “ArrayCreate.efi” to enter the Utility:

d. Command “create RAID0”.

Create RAID0 array with all disks and with maximum capacity.

e. Command “exit”；

f. For more command usages, refer to Appendix A.

Step 5 Prepare the Driver Diskette

Extract HighPoint_NVMe_Rocky_Linuxxx.xx_x86_64_vx.x.x_xx_xx_xx.tar.gz to top(/)

directory of an USB flash drive. It will look like:

i. When the screen shows that “complete!”.

press CTRL+ALT+F2 to the shell and type the following commands:

# cp -r /tmp/hptdd /mnt/sysimage/tmp/hptdd ←Copy the driver installation file to

SSD7000

# chroot /mnt/sysimage ←Switch to the top(/) directory in the SSD7000 system

# sh /tmp/hptdd/rhel-install-step2.sh ← Install SSD7000 driver

# rm -rf /tmp/hptdd ← Delete the driver file in SSD7000

# exit ← Exit the top(/) directory of the SSD7000 system
