Hardware – Description and Installation

4. After installing the adapter, attach hard drives to the host adapter using the
data cable. Each Mini-SAS cable can direct connect up to 4 hard drives.
Consult the chassis manual for proper installation procedures.
Note: Many server-level chassis include hard-drive hot-swap bays. For
these system chassis, cables are attached to the chassis backplane, rather
than directly to each individual hard drive. Consult the chassis manual for
proper installation procedures.
5. Close and secure the system chassis.
3 - Verifying Installation
Once the host adapter and hard drives have been installed into the chassis,
boot-up the system to verify that the hardware is properly recognized.
1. Power on the system. If the system detects the presence of the adapter,
the RocketRAID BIOS Utility will be displayed during boot up.
2. Press Ctrl+H to access the RocketRAID adapter’s BIOS Utility.
The BIOS Utility will display information about hard drives attached to the
adapter.
Make sure all attached drives are detected by this utility. If any of the hard
drives are not detected, power down the system and check the power and
cable connections.
