RocketRAID 231x Hardware Description/Installation
4. After installing the adapter, attach hard disks to the host adapter using the data
cable. The RocketRAID 2310 model utilizes standard SATA cables – four are
included in each retail box. This card can support up to four SATA or SATAII
hard disk drives.
The RocketRAID 2312 includes 2 standard SATA cables, and 2 eSATA cables. It
can support up to four hard disk drives, and the internal and external channels
can be used simultaneously.
The RocketRAID 2314 includes four eSATA cables, and supports up to four
external hard disks drives.
Note: Many server-level chassis include hard-disk hot-swap bays. For these
system chassis, cables are attached to the chassis backplane, rather than
directly to each individual hard disk. Consult the chassis’s manual for proper
installation procedures.
5. Close and secure the system chassis.
4- Verifying Installation
Once the host adapter and hard disks 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 bootup.
2. Press Ctrl+H to access the RocketRAID adapter’s BIOS Utility.
The BIOS Utility will display information about hard disks attached to the adapter.
Make sure all attached disks are detected by this utility. If any of the hard disks are
not detected, power down the system and check the power and SATA cable
connections.
