3 - Hardware Installation

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

The RocketRAID 2680 include 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. Open the system chassis and locate an unused PCI-Express x4.

1. Remove the PCI slot/bracket cover.

2. Gently insert the RocketRAID card into the PCI-Express slot, and secure the bracket to the system chassis (illustration shows RR2680).

1. After installing the adapter, attach hard drives to the host adapter using the data cable. The RocketRAID 2680 model utilizes 2 Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS Cables are included in each retail box. This card can support up to 8 3Gb/s SAS or SATA Hard Drives directly or upto 128 3Gb/s SAS or SATA Hard Drives via SAS Expander.

Note: 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 procedure.

1. Close and secure the system chassis.

4 - Verifying Installation

Once the 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 BIOS Utility will be displayed during bootup.
2. Press Ctrl+H to access the RocketRAID adapter's 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 cable connections.

RocketRAID BIOS Utility

The RocketRAID 2680 card will display it's BIOS screen during the system's boot process.

Press Control + H when prompted, to access the BIOS settings Menu.

1 - BIOS Settings Overview

The RocketRAID 2680 BIOS utility is an interface that provides management commands and controller related settings.

Using the BIOS Utility

The following keys utilized by the RocketRAID 2680 BIOS utility:

Alt - press Alt to highlight the tool bar.

Arrow keys – use these to move between different menu items

Enter - Open the selected toolbar command/execute the selected command.

Esc – move back to the previous menu, cancel the selected operation, or exit the BIOS Utility.

BIOS Commands

Create - this command is used to open the RAID Creation menu.

Delete - this command will delete the selected RAID array.

Add/Remove Spare - this command is used to assign hard disks to function as spare disks. The controller is capable of using spare disks to automatically rebuild broken or faulted RAID arrays.

Settings - this command opens the settings menu (selecting the boot disk/array, staggered drive spinup)

View – this command is used to select between two views: Devices (HARD DISKS), and Arrays (configured RAID arrays).

Initialize - this command is used to prepare disks for use with RAID arrays. Disks must be initialized before they can be used to create arrays.

2 - Creating RAID Arrays

Initializing Disks:

Before creating a RAID array, the disks must be initialized. Disk initialization writes necessary RAID configuration information to the hard disks. Select the Initialize command from the toolbar, and press ENTER.

Highlight the target disks using the arrow keys, then select using Enter. A numeral will be displayed before each selected disk. Once all target disks have been selected, press ESC. The utility will display a warning, and ask you to press Y (yes) to initialize, or N (no) to cancel. Once initialized, these disks can be used to create RAID arrays.

Warning: Initialization will destroy all pre-existing data on the selected hard disks. Only initialize disks that do not contain critical data.

Creating Arrays:

Select Create from the toolbar and press Enter.

1. Use the arrow keys to select the RAID level and press ENTER.

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Array Name option and press Enter. The array name dialogue box will appear. Use the keyboard to input a new Array Name, and press the Enter key.

Note: the Array Name command is optional – it is not necessary to name the array. The array can be named at a later time, and the name of the array can be changed at any time.

1. On the Create menu, use the arrow keys to highlight the Select Devices item and press Enter. A device list will appear, and display all available hard disk drives.

1. Highlight the target disks that you want to use, and press Enter to select them. A numeral will be displayed before each selected disk. This number designates disk order. After all of the disks have been selected and press the ESC key to return to the Create Menu.

2. Next, Use the ↓ arrow key to highlight the Capacity (GB) option and press Enter. The total available capacity will be displayed. Press ENTER if you wish to use all available space. If you wish to reserve disk space for additional arrays/single disks, use the keyboard to input the amount of space (in GB) you wish to set aside for this particular array, and press Enter.

Note: Multiple arrays can be created using the same set of hard disk drives. The Capacity option allows you to set aside disk space that be used to create another array, set as a spare disk, or partitioned to act as a single disk (by the operating system).

1. Enter. For redundant RAID arrays (RAID 1, 5, 10), select the Cache Policy:

Write Back – utilizes disk cache (higher performing)

Write Through – writes directly to the disks (may reduce the risk of data loss during a critical failure, but at the cost of lower performance)

1. Sector Size – Also known as “Variable Sector Size”. Use this option if you are using an older 32-bit Windows operating system. This allows older operating systems to support volumes over 2TB in size. Do not use if the operating system already supports large volumes (such as GPT).

2. To complete the creation procedure, use the arrow key to highlight the Start Creation item and press Enter. Press the Y (yes) key to create the array, or N (no) key to cancel the creation process.

3 - Deleting Arrays

Highlight the Delete command from the toolbar, and press Enter.

The BIOS utility will display a list of available RAID arrays. Select the array you wish to delete, and press Enter.

The utility will display a warning message. Press Y (yes) to delete the array, or select N (no) to cancel.

Warning: all data stored on the array will be lost – do not delete if the array contains critical data.

4 - Adding/Remove Spare Disks

This Add/Remove Spare command is used to assign a hard disk to act as a Spare Disk. Spare Disks are used to automatically rebuild Redundant RAID arrays (RAID 1, 5, 10) in the case of disk failure. As with creating RAID arrays, disks must be initialized before they can be used as spares. To set a hard disk to act as a Spare Disk, use the arrow keys to select the target disk from the list of initialized disks, and press Enter. To remove the Spare Disk setting from a hard disk, highlight the spare disk, and press Enter.

Generally, single disks are designated to act as spares (disks that are not configured into RAID arrays).

However, in some instances, disks that are members of RAID arrays may also be designated to act as a spare. If the disks in question are part of a RAID array that did not utilize the full available capacity at the time of creation, these disks may be used as spares. For example: a RAID 0 array was created between two 200GB hard disks, but only 200GB of space (out of a grand total of 400GB), was assigned to that array. In this example, 200GB of disk space remains unallocated. This unallocated space would allow these disks to be set as spares for a separate redundant array that falls into the same capacity range (200GB).

5 - Settings

To access the Settings menu, highlight the Settings command from the toolbar, and press Enter.

Select Boot Device – select which disk or array will act as the boot disk, if the motherboard BIOS instructs the card to act as the boot device.

Staggered Drive Spinup – This option is disabled by default. Enabling this setting will instruct the card to power up the hard disks, sequentially (one disk approximately every 2 seconds). Not all disk support this setting – consult the disk documentation for more information.
