How to install ASRock Rack 1U2E-X570 Barebone System

• Plan your configuration: Decide on the CPU, memory, and storage you will install in the barebone chassis. Confirm compatibility with the Socket AM4 processor and DDR4 memory supported by the motherboard ecosystem.
• Install the CPU: Power down, remove the access panel, and install your supported AMD Socket AM4 processor into the CPU socket. Apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste and secure the CPU cooler according to your cooling solution’s instructions.
• Populate memory: Insert DDR4 DIMMs into the 4 memory slots, ensuring correct slot population and seating for each module. Confirm the modules are rated for DDR4-3200 speed to achieve the advertised performance.
• Install storage: Place a 3.5" drive into the dedicated bay and connect it to the SATA/RAID controller as required. If using NVMe storage through the motherboard’s NVMe controller, mount and connect the NVMe drive in the proper slot or adapter as supported by the chassis design.
• Connect power and cables: Secure the motherboard inside the 1U chassis, connect the power supply, and route data and management cables (SATA, NVMe, and management interfaces) as appropriate for your rack and cabling standards.
• Configure management and networking: Power on the system and access the ASPEED AST2500 management interface to configure remote management settings, IP address, and monitoring alerts. Ensure network connectivity aligns with your data center routing and security policies.
• Enter BIOS/RAID setup: During boot, enter the system BIOS to configure storage arrays, boot order, and any RAID settings for your desired OS installation. Save changes and reboot to install your operating system.
• Install your operating system: Use your preferred OS installer and complete the installation. After OS installation, install drivers and management software to optimize performance and reliability.
