R1108A Hardware Installation

Step 1. On the rear of the R1108A, remove the six screws that secure

the unit’s heat sink to the PCB.

Step 2. After removing the screws, carefully remove fan’s power cable

from the right-side of the heatsink as shown below, then carefully

flip the heatsink to the left (like turning a page from a book).

Note: Take care when moving the heatsink to prevent damaging

the left fan’s power cable.

Step 3. After removing the casing, carefully turn it over to view the

thermal pads. The blue film must be removed from each pad

before reinstalling the panel. The film protects the pads from

damage and foreign objects prior to installation. However, it will

also prevent the thermal pad from conducting the heat away from

the NVMe SSDs if not removed.

Step 4. These 8 screws are used to install the NVMe SSDs.

The R1108A can support 2242, 2260, and 2280 form factor M.2

NVMe SSDs.

Step 5. Please remove these screws from each of the M.2 slots.

Step 6. Gently insert the NVMe SSD into the M.2 slot.

Note: If the NVMe SSDs were used previously, make sure the

connectors are clean and free of dust prior to installation.

Step 7. Refasten the screw to secure the NVMe SSD.

Repeat Steps 5 to 7 to install the remaining NVMe SSDs.

Note: Make sure the NVMe SSDs are carefully, but securely

installed into each M.2 slot. Loose connections can cause a

variety of stability and performance issues, and may ultimately

result in data loss.

The following example shows eight M.2 NVMe SSDs installed

into Ports 1-8:

Step 8. After installing all SSDs, carefully flip the heatsink to the right.

Step 9. Carefully reinsert in the power supply cable of the cooling fan

that was removed in step 2.

Step 10. On the rear of the R1108A, refasten the 6 screws that were

removed in step 1.

Note: Make sure the aluminum cover is properly aligned with the

HBA board (PCB), and that it makes full contact with the thermal

pad, before refastening it to the R1108A. If the cover is improperly

installed, the fan and thermal pad will be unable to sufficiently

cool the NVMe SSDs and HBA componentry, which may result in

damage to the SSDs or HBA hardware, performance loss,

unstable I/O, and the loss of data.

Step 11. Power up the NVMe SSD external power supply.

Note:If the external power supply is not powered on, the NVMe

SSDs may drop offline or remain undetected, which could lead to

data loss.

The R1108A relies on two power sources to support eight NVMe

SSDs; power supplied through the PCIe bus, and power from the

system’s PSU via an external 6 pin PCIe power cable. If the

external cable is not connected, there will be insufficient power to

support all 8 NVMe SSDs; this may cause the SSDs to drop

offline.

Step 12. If you are using a 2019 Intel Mac Pro Workstation or 2023 M2

Mac Pro Workstation, you will need to purchase the Belkin AUX

Power Cable Kit from the Apple Store. The kit includes seven

AUX power cables; four 8-pin to 6+2 pin cables (for use with the

Rocket 1108A), two 6-pin to 6-pin cables, and a single 8-pin to

dual 6-pin cable.

a. Connect the 8-pin power connector of the Belkin AUX Power

Cable to the 2019 Intel Mac Pro Workstation.

b. Connect the 6-pin power connector of the Belkin AUX Power

Cable to the side of the R1108A.
