SSD7110 Controller macOS Installation Guide

3/8

1. Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide clear instructions on how to install and use the SSD7110 controller with

a macOS system.

2. Installing macOS on SSD7110 controller

If you would like to install macOS onto drives attached to SSD7110 controller, please follow the procedure bellow.

Step 1 Prepare your hardware for installation

After you attach your NVMe SSDs to SSD7110 controller, you can use the SSD7110 UEFI Utility to configure

your NVMe SSDs as RAID arrays, or just use them as single disks.

Before installation, you must remove all the disk drives, which are not physically attached to SSD7110 controller

from your system.

Note

SSD7110 only support EFI boot. If you have other PCIe controllers/adapters installed, you must make sure the

SSD7110 controller EFI is loaded firstly. If not, try to move the SSD7110 to another PCIe slot. Otherwise, you may

be unable to boot up your system.

Step 2 Determining if your Mac has a T2 chip

1. Choose Apple menu > About This Mac > Overview > System Report…, then click the ‘Controller’ item;

2. If it says ‘Apple T2 Security Chip’ in the right-hand column, continue on to Step 3 ‘Disabling secure boot’ section

bellow，otherwise skip Step 3.

Step 3 Disabling secure boot

1. Turn on your Mac, then press and hold Command (⌘)-R immediately after you see the Apple logo. Your Mac

will now start in Recovery Mode;

2. When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose Utilities > Startup Security Utility from the menu bar;

3. When the Startup Security Utility window appears, select ‘No Security’ under the ‘Secure Boot’ options and

‘Allow booting from external or removable media’ under the ‘Allowed Boot Media’ options.

Step 4 Updating UEFI and Create Array (e.g. RAID0)

The flash utility is used to update controller UEFI and must run under UEFI environment. You should boot from

UEFI on boot disk.

1. Unzip the SSD711X UEFI package to the root dir(/) of a USB flash drive, and insert the USB flash drive into

the motherboard’s USB port;

2. Press and hold the Option (Alt) key immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac;

4. Select ‘EFI Boot’, then click the arrow under its icon, or press Return to enter the EFI interface;

5. Use the command “SSD711x.nsh”, and press Return when the message “Passed” appears;

6. Use the command ‘ArrayCreate.efi’ to enter the Create Array interface;

7. Use the command ‘create RAID0’ to create a RAID0 with maximum capacity. The interface will then report the

array has been created successfully;

8. Use the command ‘exit’ to exit the EFI interface;

Step 5 Install the system to SSD7110

1. Install macOS to the Mac’s internal disk. After booting the system, install the SSD7110 driver and WebGUI;

2. Use ‘Disk Utility’ to format/partition the array:

3. Clone the internal boot disk to the RAID array using ‘Carbon Copy Cloner 5’

( https://bombich.com/software/download_ccc.php?v=latest);

4. Open ‘Carbon Copy Cloner’, SOURCE = select the disk that you want to clone, DESTINATION =

select RAID disk that you created in the EFI interface, then click ‘Clone’;

5. When cloning has finished, restart your Mac, then press and hold the Option (Alt) key immediately;

6. Release the Option key when you see the Startup Manager window;

7. Select RAID0 disk, then click the arrow under its icon, or press Return.

3. Troubleshooting

If you can't select your startup disk or start up from it

1. Check for a valid operating system on the startup disk

Make sure that your RAID disk is using a version of macOS that is compatible with your Mac. You might need

to reinstall macOS on that disk.

2. Check startup security settings (Refer to Step 3)

If you're using a Mac that has the Apple T2 Security Chip, check the settings in Startup Security Utility.

3. Check for Option ROM firmware

If you're in Startup Manager and can't see a third-party startup disk.

a. Make sure your ‘Firmware password protection is off’.

b. Press Option-Shift-Command-Period while in Startup Manager (e.g., MacBook Pro 2013/ MacBook Pro

2016). If your RAID disk appears, do that each time you want to start up from it or from another disk

connected to it.
