1 Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide clear instructions on how to install Linux

CentOS8.2 on the SSD7540 controller.

For the CentOS8.2 (kernel: 4.18.0-193.el8)

2 Installing Linux CentOS8.2 on SSD7540 controller

If you would like to install Linux CentOS8.2 onto drives attached to SSD7540 controller,

please perform the following operations:

Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation

After you attach your NVMe SSD to SSD7540 controller, you can use SSD7540 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 SSD7540 controller, from your system.

Note

SSD7540 only support EFI boot. If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must

make sure the SSD7540 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 SSD7540 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 SSD7540 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. Set "Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration->CPUSlot PCI-E OPROM" to "EFI".

If the SSD7540 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 with ASUS 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".

3. Set UEFI setting with GA-X570 AORUS MASTER motherboard as an example

a. Set " Boot->CSM Support " to "Enabled";

b. And " Boot-> Storage Boot Option Control " to "UEFI Only";

Step 3 Flash UEFI Rom to SSD7540

a. Unzip SSD7540 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 “go.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to SSD7540 Controller and reboot;

Step 4 Create Array

a. Attach eight NVMe SSD to SSD7540 Controller;

Note

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 to Appendix A.

Step 5 Prepare the Driver Diskette

a. Extract HighPoint_NVMe_CentOS_8u2_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 CentOS8.2

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

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

c. When the Installation screen appears:

Press Ctrl+ALT+F2 to switch new console window and press ENTER to activate this

console.

And the then execute following commands with root user to copy the driver contents.

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

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

#cp -a /dd/hptdd /tmp/hptdd ←Copy driver installation

file to system temporary directory

# umount /dd ←Unmount 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

CentOS.

#sh /tmp/hptdd/rhel-install-step1.sh ←Load SSD7540 driver.

e. After the above steps are completed, the system will automatically return to the

f. Select “Continue” to continue installing the system.

g. When the installation prompts "Reboot"；

Press Ctrl + ALT + F2 and execute the following command to install the driver on Linux

CentOS on the SSD7540 array.

# cp -a /tmp/hptdd /mnt/sysimage/tmp/hptdd

←Copy the driver installation file to SSD7540.

# chroot /mnt/sysimage ←Switch to the top(/)

directory in the SSD7540 system.

# sh /tmp/hptdd/rhel-install-step2.sh

←Install SSD7540 driver.

# rm -rf /tmp/hptdd ←Delete the driver file in SSD7540.

# exit ←Exit the top(/) directory of the SSD7540 system.

h. Press Ctrl+ALT+F6 and Select "Reboot" to complete the installation。

i. Open source driver needs to be installed after system installation.

Linux open source driver link, open the following link to enter the "Software Download"

page to download:
