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";

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;
