RocketRAID 3xxx Hardware Description/Installation
2-9
4. After installing the adapter, attach hard disks to the RocketRAID 3xxx the
appropriate Mini-SAS cables.
5. Many server-level chassis include hard-disk hot-swap bays. For these system
chassis, cables are attached to the chassis backplane, rather than directly to
each individual hard disk. Consult the chassis’s manual for proper installation
procedures.
6. Close and secure the system chassis.
3 - Verifying Installation
Once the RocketRAID 3xxx host adapter and hard disks 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 3xxx BIOS Utility will be displayed during bootup.
2. Press Ctrl+H to access the RocketRAID 3xxx BIOS Utility.
The BIOS Utility will display information about hard disks attached to the adapter.
Make sure all attached disks are detected by this utility. If any of the hard disks are
not detected, power down the system and check the power and data cable
connections.
4 - Battery Backup (RocketRAID 3320 & RocketRAID 35xx)
A battery backup option will be available as an optional add-on component.
The battery provides additional data security in case of a critical system failure.
Data normally lost during a major system fault, such as a power outage or CPU failure,
which was in transit at the time of the failure (stored in the card’s onboard cache), will
remain viable for up to 48 hours.
The battery unit can be attached to the card using the BBU CONN (see page 4).
Attach this CONN to Item C in the diagram below, using the cable included with the BBU
unit.
