Prerequisites

This section describes the base hardware and software requirements for the NVMe products.

UEFI BIOS settings

This section describes how to configure your motherboard UEFI settings for use with NVMe products.

HighPoint NVMe G5 Data RAID Installation Guide (Linux)

Driver Installation

This section covers driver installation, driver upgrade and driver uninstallation procedures for NVMe

products. in a Linux environment.

Management Software Installation

This section explains how to download and install the HighPoint RAID Management Software Suite for Linux

distributions. The download includes both the Web RAID Management Interface (WebGUI), and the CLI

(Command Line Interface).

Troubleshooting

Please consult this section if you encounter any difficulties installing or using NVMe products. It includes

solutions and description for commonly reported technical issues.

Appendix

This section describes how to collect troubleshooting information for support cases you have submitted via

our Online Support Portal.

Prerequisites for a Data-RAID Configuration

In order to configure a non-bootable NVMe RAID array, you will need the following:

1. An NVMe SSD must be installed. At least one NVMe SSD must be installed into or connected to the

NVMe products.

2. A PCIe 5.0 or PCIe 4.0 slot or PCIe3.0 with x8 or x16 lanes. The NVMe products must be installed

into a PCIe 5.0 or PCIe 4.0 slot or PCIe3.0 with x8 or x16 lanes.

3. Your motherboard must have a UEFI BIOS with option ROM settings for third-part devices (such as

the NVMe products, optical drives and USB flash drives). If this is not configured correctly, the system wi

ll fail to load the NVMe products. Please check the NVMe products’s compatibility lists for recommended

motherboards.

4. Secure Boot must be disabled. HighPoint Linux Driver capability has not been signed and certified. If

Secure Boot is enabled, the motherboard will not recognize the NVMe products, and you will be unable to

proceed with installation.

5. Make sure any non-HighPoint drivers are uninstalled for any SSD’s hosted by the NVMe products.

Drivers provided by 3rd party software and manufacturer may prevent the NVMe products from

functioning properly.

Warnings:

1) Failing to remove the NVMe products and SSDs when uninstalling the driver may result in data loss.

2) Always make sure the HighPoint Linux driver is installed before moving NVMe products & RAID

array to another Linux system.

Linux distributions will always load the default NVMe support after the HighPoint Linux driver has been

uninstalled, or if it detects the present of a card when no driver has been loaded – this driver will only

recognize the NVMe SSDs as separate disks.

If the SSDs are recognized separately, any data they contain may be lost – including RAID configuration

data.

UEFI BIOS Settings

The following is a list of supported UEFI NVMe products.

Supported Controller

SSD7105

SSD7202

SSD7502

SSD7505

SSD7540

SSD7580A

SSD7580B

SSD7749M

SSD7749E

Supported Enclosure

Note: Products that do not support UEFI can skip this section.

Different motherboards will provide different UEFI-related BIOS settings. Please consult your motherboard’s

user manual for more information. This section provides examples using a SuperMicro H12SSL-i

motherboard.

1. Boot the system and access the motherboard BIOS menu.

2. Under "Advanced->PCIe/PCI/PnP Configuration->, change “CPU Slot x PCI-E OPROM" to

"EFI". “x” represents the PCIE slot assignment. For this example, the SSD7505 is installed into

“CPU Slot 1”.

3. Set "Secure Boot" to "Disabled".

Driver Installation

Installing the Open-Source Driver

1. Power on the system and boot the Linux distribution.

2. Open a system terminal with root privileges, and verify that NVMe product is detected by using the

following command:

lspci -tvv

Example screenshot

Note: the picture is only for reference, please make the object as the standard.

Additionally, you can verify that the NVMe drives are detected by using the following command:

fdisk -l

Example screenshot

Note: the picture is only for reference, please make the object as the standard.

3. Download the appropriate driver from the Software Downloads web page.

HighPoint NVMe G5 Data RAID Installation Guide (Linux)

4. Using the system terminal with root privileges, browse to the directory where the driver download is

located, and enter the following commands to extract the Linux Open-source Driver software package:

tar zxvf HighPoint_NVMe_G5_Linux_Src_vx.x.xx_xx_xx_xx.tar.gz

Note: The driver revision shown in the screenshots may not correspond with current software releases.

Please make sure to download the latest driver updates from the product’s Software Updates page.

5. Install the open-source Driver using the following command.

sh hptnvme_g5_linux_src_vx.x.xx_xx_xx_xx.bin or

./hptnvme_g5_linux_src_vx.x.xx_xx_xx_xx.bin

6. After driver installation is complete, the system will prompt you to restart to make the driver take effect.

Manually restart the system.

7. After the distribution has rebooted, open the system terminal with root privileges and check the driver

status using the following command:

dmesg | grep hptnvme

HighPoint NVMe G5 Data RAID Installation Guide (Linux)

The following screenshot shows driver v1.5.1.

Additionally, you can check the NVMe drive using the following command:

fdisk –l

HighPoint NVMe G5 Data RAID Installation Guide (Linux)

Updating the Driver

As of May 2022, current open-source driver releases include our Auto-Compile feature – auto compile checks

the kernel version each time the system is booted to ensure compatibility. If a new kernel is detected, Auto

Compile will check our online database for required updates and automatically compile a new driver.

The latest open-source driver is available from the Software Downloads web pages. If you want to manually

update using this download, please follow the procedure below.

1. Prerequisites

a. Ensure that NVMe product is installed into the motherboard.

b. Open the system terminal with root privileges to check the current driver version by using the

following command: dmesg | grep hptnvme.

The screenshot below shows driver version v1.2.13 is installed:

2. Updating the driver

a. Open the directory where the latest driver version is located and open the system terminal with root

privileges. Execute the following commands to complete the installation. The illustrated driver

version is v1.5.1.

b. Extract the Linux Opensource Driver software package using the following command:

tar zxvf HighPoint_NVMe_G5_Linux_Src_vx.x.xx_xx_xx_xx.tar.gz

c. Make sure the system has an active internet connection. To manually install the latest Open-source

Driver, open the system terminal with root privileges and enter the following command:

./hptnvme_g5_linux_src_vx.x.xx_xx_xx_xx.bin
