Installing The Rocketraid 4500 Host Adapter; Verifying Installation - HighPoint RocketRAID 4500 Series User Manual

This connector is for the optional battery backup unit (HPTBBU-05).

4.3 Installing the RocketRAID 4500 Host Adapter

Note: Make sure the system is powered-off before installing the RocketRAID host adapter.
The RocketRAID 4500 includes both standard and low-profile brackets. It may be necessary to attach the
low-profile bracket in place of the standard bracket, depending upon the chassis design.
1. Open the system chassis and locate an unused PCI-E (2.0 or 1.0) ×8 (or x16) slot.
2. Remove the PCI-E slot cover.
3. Gently insert the RocketRAID 4500 into the PCI-E slot, and secure the bracket to the system chassis.
4. After installing the adapter, attach the hard disks or backplane enclosure to the host adapter using the
mini-SAS cables.
Note: Many server-level chassis include hard-drive hot-swap bays. For these system chassis, cables
are attached to the chassis backplane, rather than directly to each individual hard drive. Consult the
chassis manual for proper installation procedures.
5. Close and secure the system chassis.

4.4 Verifying Installation

Once the host adapter and hard drives have been installed into the chassis, boot-up the system to verify
that the hardware is properly recognized.
1. Power on the system. If the system detects the presence of the adapter, the RocketRAID BIOS Utility
will be displayed during boot up.
2. Press "Ctrl+H" key combination to access the RocketRAID 4500 adapter's BIOS Utility.
