2 - Installing the RocketRAID Host Adapter

Note: Make sure the system is powered-off before installing the RocketRAID host adapter.

The RocketRAID 2700 includes both standard and low-profile brackets. It may be necessary to attach the

low-profile bracket in place of the standard bracket, depending upon the chassis design.

1. Open the system chassis and locate an unused PCI-Express x8.

2. Remove the PCI slot/bracket cover.

3. Gently insert the RocketRAID card into the PCI-Express slot, and secure the bracket to the system

chassis (illustration shows RocketRAID 2720).

4. After installing the adapter, attach hard drives to the host adapter using the data cable. 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.
