How to Install ASRock Rack 1U12XL-C622 RPSU Barebone System

Installing this barebone system involves assembling the core components, configuring the platform, and preparing it for an operating system and services. Because this is a barebone chassis, CPUs, memory, drives, and power supply are typically provided by the system integrator or you, depending on the purchase configuration. Follow these generalized steps to bring the server online in a data-center-ready state:

Step 1: Prepare the rack and workstation. Ensure you have proper ESD protection and verify that you have the necessary processors compatible with Socket P LGA-3647 and DDR4 RAM modules that fit the 16 memory slots. Confirm the rack space, power availability, and cooling provisions in your data center to support a dual-processor, high-density 1U system.

Step 2: Install the CPUs. Open the processor sockets, align the CPUs with the socket markers, and securely seat them according to the motherboard or backplane guidance. Apply any required thermal interface material and install the heatsinks per the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that cooling fans are correctly positioned to maintain airflow through the chassis’s hot aisle/cold aisle configuration.

Step 3: Add memory modules. Insert DDR4 DIMMs into the 16 memory slots in supported configurations. For best performance and stability, populate the memory channels evenly and follow any official guidelines for memory interleaving and ECC if applicable. Recheck seatings to guarantee noDIMMs are loose before powering on.

Step 4: Install storage and M.2 devices. Slide in the 12 3.5" drives into the bays, ensuring secure mounting and proper cable routing to preserve airflow. If using M.2 modules, install them into the designated M.2 slots and route any needed power or data cables. Configure RAID or storage topology in BIOS/UEFI if required by your workload or operating system.

Step 5: Connect power, networking, and peripherals. Attach the appropriate power supply and verify that all power rails are delivering correct voltages. Connect network cables to the RJ-45 ports and route them for redundancy or aggregation as your design requires. Connect a monitor, keyboard, and optional remote-management tools for initial setup if you are configuring the system outside of a headless management context.

Step 6: Configure BIOS/UEFI and install the operating system. Power on and enter BIOS/UEFI to configure CPU modes, memory settings, boot order, and any platform-management features offered by the ASRock Rack firmware. Install your chosen server OS or hypervisor, apply the latest firmware and driver updates, and validate system performance with your standard benchmarks and workloads.

Note: Because the ASRock Rack 1U12XL-C622 is a barebone system, actual implementation details such as the specific CPUs, RAM modules, and drives depend on your procurement package. Consult your purchasing documentation or ASRock Rack’s product resources for exact component compatibility and recommended configurations to achieve the best balance of performance, reliability, and cost in your environment.
