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 boot up.

2. Press Ctrl+H to access the RocketRAID BIOS Utility. 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 cable connections to both the

card and enclosure.

5 - Battery Backup

A battery backup option will be available as an optional add-on component. The

battery provides additional data security in case of a critical system failure. Data

normally lost during a major system fault, such as a power outage or CPU failure

which was in transit at the time of the failure (stored in the card’s onboard cache), will

remain viable for up to 72 hours. The battery unit can be attached to the card using

the BBU CONN. Attach the BBU into J18 of RocketRAID 3530/3540 using the cable

included with the BBU unit: (illustration shows RocketRAID 3540)
