How to install ASRock Rack 2U2G/C622 Barebone System

• Prepare your rack, power, and cooling: mount the barebone chassis in a standard 19-inch rack, ensure proper clearance for cooling airflow, and connect the power distribution and management network as required by your data-center setup.
• Install CPUs: open the CPU retention mechanism on each LGA-3647 socket, apply the appropriate thermal interface material as specified by the processor manufacturers, seat the Xeon processors firmly, and lock the socket latches to secure the CPUs.
• Populate memory: insert DDR4 DIMMs into the memory slots according to the official population guidelines to maximize memory bandwidth and stability. Use matched modules where possible and follow any bank/slot recommendations for dual-socket configurations.
• Install storage: mount the 3.5-inch drives in the eight drive bays, connect the Serial ATA data and power cables to the onboard SATA controller, and verify drive visibility in the BIOS/UEFI or storage controller utility.
• Configure management and networking: connect the management network and any required data-network interfaces to the appropriate RJ-45 ports. Boot the system and configure IPMI and out-of-band management through the ASPEED AST2500, then install the desired operating system or hypervisor on the server.
