2 Installing Linux Debian on RR Series RAID
controller
If you would like to install Linux Debian onto drives attached to RR Series RAID
controller, please perform the following operations:
Step 1 Prepare Your Hardware for Installation
After you attach your hard disks to RAID controller, you can use EFI Utility to configure
your hard disks as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.
Before installation, you must remove all the ard disks, which are not physically attached
to RAID controller, from your system.
Note
RAID Controller support EFI boot If you have other SCSI adapters installed, you must
make sure the RR Series 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 or EFI a Bootable USB drive, after you finish
installation, set RR Series RAID as the first boot device to boot up the system. Refer to
your motherboard EFI manual to see how to set boot sequence.
1. Set UEFI setting with SuperMicro X11DPi-NT motherboard as an example.
a. "Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration->CPUSlot PCI-E OPROM"
to "EFI". Suppose Controller is connected to motherboard CPU1 Slot 2 PCI-E
X16, then you should set "CPU1 Slot 2 PCI-E X16 OPROM" to "EFI";
