RocketRAID 2322 Hardware Description/Installation
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 2322 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 2322 BIOS Utility will be displayed during bootup.
2. Press Ctrl+H to access the RocketRAID 2322 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 Mini-SAS cable
connections.
4 - Single-RAID Cross Adapter
The RocketRAID 2322 is capable of supporting RAID arrays created between hard
disks attached to multiple host adapters. Up to sixteen hard disks can be assigned to
a single RAID array, and these disks can be attached to as many as four separate
RocketRAID 2322 host adapters. This feature is referred to as “Single-RAID Cross
Adapter” support.
Each RocketRAID 2322 provides two jumpers dedicated to this feature (JP2 and JP3),
and a single cross-adapter cable designed for use with these jumpers. JP2 is a 3-pin
jumper, while JP3 is a 4-pin design.
Each cross-adapter cable has a 3-pin and 4-pin connector, designed for insertion into
JP2 and JP3 respectively.
