Hardware and soware requirements
• SATA Controller connection must support AHCI Mode and 16-byte CDBs (command
descriptor block).
• The controller can be built into the system board or be an add-on.
• The SATA controller used for RDX must be set to AHCI mode.
• Alternatively, if the system does not support AHCI, then a SATA I RDX drive can be used with
up to 2.0TB Media.
• Best Practice: Use the operating system drivers recommended for the SATA controller. We
recommend using the default Microso SATA drivers that come with the Windows OS.
Please refer to our knowledge base article for further information how to install the
appropriate SATA drivers.
• SATA RDX Drives do not require Windows drivers.
Preparation
• Best Practice: Before making controller changes, backup the system and create a bare metal
recovery drive.
(Overland-Tandberg is not responsible for user or system errors.)
• Refer to the SATA Controller manual on how to view and set up the interface for AHCI mode.
• Verify the SATA controller settings as AHCI.
• Important: Changing a working system from any other mode to AHCI could disable the system.
• Best Practice: Complete a system backup before changing SATA controller modes.
SATA HBA alternatives
• Verify add-on SATA III Controllers support the AHCI option and 16-byte CDB. Use controllers/
chipsets listed in the compatibility matrix on TandbergData.com.
• Other non-listed controllers, including Intel RAID Controller, may be compatible.
Cable connections
• Along with the quick start guide, SATA cables for data and power are included with new
RDX QuikStor SATA Kits.
• Best Practice: Please refer to your SATA HBA manual and RDX Quick Start Guide on how
to connect the cables to your computer system.
• Connect both cables to your SATA III drive as shown in the illustration.
Procedure
Once the above requirements are addressed, then SATA RDX is typically Plug-and-Play.
1. With the system off, install the drive into the system case and connect the power and
SATA cables.
2. Start the system and check the system BIOS for the controller and RDX listing.
3. Restart the system and verify the installation of the SATA windows drivers where applicable.
4. For Windows, load the RDX Utility and verify operation.
5. For other OSs, verify RDX in the relevant file manager utilities.
