How to Install ASRock Rack 1U10E-MILAN2 Barebone System

Installing the ASRock Rack 1U10E-MILAN2 Barebone System involves preparing a compatible data center environment and configuring the chassis for your chosen CPUs, memory, and storage. Follow these general steps to get your barebone system up and running, keeping in mind that this is a chassis platform designed to be populated with CPUs, memory, and drives according to your deployment needs.

• Prepare the environment: Ensure you have a suitable 19-inch rack, a stable power supply, and cooling appropriate for a two-CPU server. Gather standard server installation tools and anti-static precautions before handling components.
• Rack-mount the barebone: Mount the 1U chassis into the rack using the provided rails or mounting hardware. Verify secure attachment and proper rear clearance for cabling and airflow.
• Install processors: Open the CPU sockets LGA-4094 and seat the supported processors according to the manufacturer’s guidance. Apply thermal interface material as required and reseat coolers for optimal heat dissipation. Ensure CPU power connectors are properly seated.
• Populate memory and components: Install DDR4-3200 DIMMs into the 32 memory slots, following the recommended population order for dual-processor configurations. Balance channels per processor to maximize memory bandwidth and stability, up to 256 GB total RAM.
• Configure storage and network: Install NVMe drives and SATA drives on the supported interfaces; insert OS and data drives into the 2 M.2 slots as needed. Connect the two RJ-45 network ports and any management interfaces, then boot to the system BIOS to configure boot order, RAID, and other firmware settings.
• Finalize and test: Save BIOS configurations, install your preferred operating system or hypervisor, and perform validation tests for memory, CPU, and storage performance. Activate IPMI/remote-management features for ongoing monitoring and remote administration.
