2 Installing Linux Debian on SSD7103 controller

If you would like to install Linux Debian onto drives attached to SSD7103 controller,

please perform the following operations:

Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation

After you attach your NVMe SSD to SSD7103 controller, you can use SSD7103 EFI

Utility to configure your NVMe SSD as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.

Before installation, you must remove all the NVMe SSD, which are not physically

attached to SSD7103 controller, from your system.

Note

SSD7103 only support EFI boot. If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must

make sure the SSD7103 controller EFI will be loaded firstly. If not, try to move it to

another PCI slot. Otherwise you may be unable to boot up your system.

Step 2 Check System EFI Settings

In your system EFI SETUP menu, change Boot Sequence in such a way that the system

will first boot from EFI CDROM, and then from SSD7103 RAID. Refer to your

motherboard EFI manual to see how to set boot sequence.

If your EFI settings do not support such a boot sequence, you can first set it to boot from

EFI CDROM.After you finish installation, set SSD7103 RAID as the first boot device to

boot up the system.

1. Set UEFI setting with SuperMicro X11DPi-NT motherboard as an example:

a. Set ‘Boot mode select’ to ‘UEFI’;

b. And ‘Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration CPU Slot PCI-E OPROM’ to

‘EFI’. If the SSD7103 has been connected to the motherboard CPU1Slot2 PCI-E

X16, you should set "CPU1Slot2 PCI-E X16 OPROM" to "EFI";

c. Disable ‘Secure Boot’, set ‘Secure Boot’ to ‘Disabled’;

2. Set UEFI setting withASUS PRIME X299 -DELUXE motherboard as an example

a. Set " Boot->CSM->Boot from Storage Devices" to "UEFI driver first";

b. And " Boot->CSM->Boot Device Control" to "UEFI Only" or "UEFI and Legacy

OPROM";

c. Set " Boot->Secure Boot->OS Type" to "Other OS".

Step 3 Flash UEFI Rom to SSD7103

a. Unzip SSD7103 UEFI package to root dir (/) of a USB flash driver, and insert the

USB flash drive to the motherboard;

b. Booting from the UEFI USB flash and enter the UEFI environment;

c. Command with “SSD7103.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to SSD7103 Controller and

reboot;

Step 4 Create Array

a. Attach four NVMe SSD to SSD7103 Controller;

Note

Make sure your USB flash partition format is FAT32.

b. Boot, in the presence of the motherboard Log screen, there will be NVMe SSD

information：

c. Enter the motherboard’s Boot List and select start from UEFI USB flash:

d. Command ”Arraycreate.efi” to enter the Utility:

e. Command “create RAID0 ”.

Create RAID0 array with all disks and with maximum capacity.

f. Command “exit”；

g. For more command usages, refer toAppendixA.

Step 5 Prepare the Driver Diskette

Extract HighPoint_NVMe_Debian_10.4.0_x86_64_vx.x.x_xx_xx_xx.tar.gz to top(/)

directory of an USB flash drive. It will look like:

Step 6 Install Linux Debian

a. Please confirm the status of the network environment before performing the following

operations. In order to ensure normal installation, it is recommended to install the system

in an environment without a network.

b. Insert the USB flash drive to the target system.

c. Booting from Installation DVD disc (EFI mode).

d. When the Installation screen appears,select"Grahical install"or"Install".Then press ‘e’ to

edit boot command line option. The following shows the Graphical install.

On the edit command window, move the cursor to the end of line "linux

/install.amd/vmlinuz... ", and append "modprobe.blacklist=nvme" (double quotation

e. When the screen shows that" Select a language ".

Press "CTRL+ALT+F2"(Install please press"ALT+F2") to switch to the shell on console

2, and the then execute following commands to copy the driver contents:

# modprobe vfat ← Load vfat module

# mkdir /hptdd ← Create mount point for USB flash drive

# mount /dev/sda1 /hptdd/ ← Mount the USB flash drive to /hptdd

#cp -a /hptdd/hptdd /tmp/ ← Copy driver installation file to system temporary

directory

# umount /hptdd ← Umount the USB flash drive

When the USB flash drive is unmounted, please unplug the USB flash drive from the

mainboard.And then execute following command to install driver to install the Linux

Debian.

# sh /tmp/hptdd/preinst.sh ← Load SSD7103 driver.

f. Then press "ALT+F5" (Install please press"ALT+F1")to switch back to installation
