Which HighPoint products require that “Above 4G Decoding” be disabled?
This is related to applications that require a 32bit environment. If you need to access the BIOS interface of a RocketRAID controller, or use a DOS-level utility or 32-bit operating system with a RocketRAID controller or RocketStor 6400 series RAID enclosure, you will need to access the motherboard’s BIOS and disable “Above 4G Recording”. This setting does not have to be disabled for general use with current 64-bit platforms (when using the controller/enclosure at the operating system level, for example).
Note: this only applies to RocketRAID series product, and SAS/SATA based RAID Enclosures (RR600, RR800, RR2700, RR2800, RR3700, RR4500, RS6400 series).
This setting does not have to be disabled when using HighPoint SSD7000/7500/6200/6540 series NVMe RAID controllers and enclosures, Rocket 1000 series NVMe HBA’s, HighPoint RocketU and RocketStor USB HBA’s & enclosures, or HighPoint Thunderbolt™ series adapter and enclosure products.
