Prerequisites for a Bootable RAID Configuration
The RR640L/642L/644L/644LS controllers can support bootable RAID arrays. After configuring an array using the
UEFI RAID tool, you can install a Windows or Linux operating system to the RAID. In order to configure a bootable
RAID array, you will need the following:
1. RAID controller. A PCIe 3.0/4.0 slot with x4, x8 or x16 lanes.
2. The RR640L/642L/644L/644LS must be installed into a PCIe 3.0/4.0 slot with x4, x8 or x16 lanes.
3. The motherboard needs to be booted into UEFI mode. Confirm that the motherboard boots in UEFI mode.
4. USB flash drive: FAT32 format. Make sure the file system of the USB flash drive is FAT32 format.
5. Secure Boot must be disabled.
6. Install an optical drive into the system (such as a DVD-ROM, DVD-RW or Blu-Ray drive).
7. Prepare the OS Installation disc (Windows 10 & later / Windows server 2016 & later, or a Linux Distribution that
corresponds with the binary diver you intend to install). Download and burn an official copy of the latest ISO
image of your preferred operating system to a DVD. This should be inserted into the optical drive when booting
the system.
8. You will need a USB flash drive– the UEFI package and driver should be extracted to the root directory of this
flash drive.
9. Remove all other drives during the OS installation process. Make sure only the controller, the USB flash drive,
and the optical drive are installed into the system during this procedure. This includes any other USB hard drives,
USB flash drives, memory sticks, or SATA drives. You can reattach these drives after the operating system has
been successfully installed.
10. For Windows 10 /11 users, make sure to Disable Fast Boot.
