2 Installing Linux Debian on SSD7540 controller

If you would like to install Linux Debian 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. And ‘Advanced-> PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration-> CPU Slot 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";

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;

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 to Appendix A.

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 SSD7540 driver.

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