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";

b. Disable "Secure Boot", set "Attempt Secure Boot" to "Disabled".
2. Set UEFI setting with ASUS PRIME X299 -DELUXE motherboard as an example:
a. Set "Boot from Storage Devices" to "UEFI driver first";
b. And "Boot Device Control" to "UEFI Only" or "UEFI and Legacy OPROM";

c. Set "OS Type" to "Other OS".
Step 3 Flash UEFI Rom to RR Series RAID Controller
For Example RR640L：
Note
：
Make sure your USB flash partition format is FAT32.
a. Unzip RR640L UEFI package to root dir(/) of a USB flash drive, and insert the
USB flash drive to the motherboard;
b. Booting from the UEFI USB flash and enter the UEFI environment;
c. Command with “rr640l.nsh”, flash UEFI rom to RR640L Controller and reboot;
For RR620L:

Step 4 Create Array
a. Attach three hard disks to RR640L Controller;
b. Boot, enter the motherboard’s Boot List and select start from UEFI USB flash:
c. Command “ArrayCreate.efi” to enter the Utility:
d. Command “create RAID0”.
Create RAID0 array with all disks and with maximum capacity.

f. For more command usages, refer to Appendix A.
Step 5 Prepare the Driver Diskette
Extract RR640l_debian_11 6 0_x86_64_vx x x_xx_xx_xx tar gz to top (/) directory of an
USB flash drive. It will look like:
Step 6 Install Linux Debian
a Before you do the following, verify the status of your network environment To
ensure a proper installation, it is recommended to disconnect the network and install
the system in a network less environment
b. Insert the Bootable USB drive to the target system.
c. Booting from Bootable USB drive (EFI mode).
d. When the Installation screen appears, press ‘Graphical Install’ to start.
e. When the following window appears, if your motherboard is in UEFI mode, click YES

f. When the following window appears during the installation process,
Press "Ctrl+ALT+F2" to switch to the shell on console 2, and the then execute following
commands to copy the driver contents:
# mkdir /hptdd ← Create mount point for USB flash drive
# mount /dev/sda1 /hptdd/ ← Mount the USB flash drive to /hptdd
# cp -a /hptdd /tmp/ ← Copy driver installation file to system temporary
directory
# umount /hptdd ← Unmount the USB flash drive
When the USB flash drive is unmounted, please unplug the USB flash drive from the
mainboard. And then execute following command to install driver to install the Linux
Debian.
# sh /tmp/hptdd/preinst sh ← Load driver.
