How to install ASRock Rack RM23712-C622LM/22E Barebone System

Installing a barebone system like the RM23712-C622LM/22E involves assembling the core components, aligning with rack infrastructure, and configuring the base server settings before deployment. Follow these practical steps to assemble and deploy your dual-processor 2U server with confidence, ensuring a robust foundation for your workloads.

• Plan your deployment by confirming compatibility of CPUs for Socket P LGA-3647, ensuring they meet your performance and power requirements.
• Install the two processors into the LGA-3647 sockets, apply appropriate thermal interface material, and attach compatible cooling solutions designed for dual-socket 2U servers. Verify that each CPU is seated correctly and the heatsinks are securely fastened.
• Populate memory modules into the 24 DDR4 slots according to the motherboard’s guidance for channel population and interleaving. Use matched DIMMs where possible to maximize memory bandwidth and stability.
• Connect storage devices to the SATA RAID controller and SAS controller as needed. Plan RAID levels for your reliability and performance goals, and configure the controllers accordingly in BIOS/UEFI or appropriate management utilities.
• Mount the motherboard into the 2U chassis, secure the backplane and rails, route cables neatly, and connect power and management interfaces. Confirm that all fans are installed and airflow is unobstructed to maintain optimal thermal performance.
• Power on and enter BIOS/UEFI to configure processor topology, memory settings, RAID configuration, boot order, and any remote management options supported by the ASPEED AST2500 controller.
• Install an operating system and required drivers on the configured storage. Run initial hardware checks, verify RAID status, and perform basic stress testing to validate stability before production workloads.
