HighPoint RocketRAID 4500 PCI-Express 2.0 x8 HBA series

The RocketRAID 4500 series, HighPoint's newest class of 6Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID HBA's, were designed to

Management Suite delivers superior monitoring, maintenance and recovery features to secure critical

data investments against hardware failure.

HighPoint RAID Management HighPoint RAID Management software offers a user friendly interface to

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.

5 RocketRAID 4500 BIOS Utility

The RocketRAID 4500 controller will display its BIOS screen during the system's boot process. The BIOS

Utility will display information about hard drives attached to the adapter. Make sure all attached drives

are detected by this utility. If any of the hard drives are not detected, power down the system and check

the power and cable connections.

Press “Ctrl+H” key combination to access the RocketRAID 4500 adapter’s BIOS Utility.

5.1 BIOS Settings Overview

The RocketRAID 4500 controller BIOS utility is an interface that provides management commands and

controller related settings.

(We use the BIOS Interface of RocketRAID 4522 as example. The RocketRAID 4520’s is the same as

RocketRAID 4522.)

5.2 Using the BIOS Utility

The following keys utilized by the RocketRAID 4500 BIOS utility:

Arrow keys –Use these to move between different menu items.
