How to Install ASRock Server Motherboard
- Before you begin, power down and unplug your server chassis. Gather a compatible AMD EPYC processor, the correct DDR4 RDIMM or LRDIMM memory modules, and your storage drives. Ensure you are grounded to avoid static discharge.
- Install the EPYC processor into the LGA-4094 socket following the CPU installation guidelines provided by AMD and ASRock. Align the processor properly, secure the socket latch, and apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste if your cooler requires it. Attach the motherboard cooler or heatsink with the appropriate mounting hardware.
- Install the memory modules in accordance with the motherboard’s memory population guidelines. For optimal bandwidth and stability, populate all eight DIMM slots with compatible DDR4 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules, ensuring proper seating and equal channel distribution. Confirm the memory is recognized in the BIOS/UEFI during initial boot.
- Mount the motherboard inside the chassis and connect all required power cables, including motherboard power, CPU power, and any additional rails your chassis or power supply provides. Attach necessary system fans for cooling and connect front-panel headers, ensuring LED indicators, reset, and power functions operate correctly after startup.
- Connect your storage devices to the 10 SATA ports and configure any desired storage schemes in the BIOS/UEFI or your preferred RAID controller software. Enable relevant storage features and confirm drive detection, then set boot priorities to your operating system installation media.
- Enter the BIOS/UEFI to finalize configuration. Update to the latest available BIOS version if needed, enable virtualization features if required, and verify memory timings and frequencies. Configure any additional server-specific options, such as PCIe passthrough, power management profiles, or advanced security settings, before installing your operating system.
- Install your operating system and server drivers. Load chipset, storage, and management drivers from ASRock’s support resources, and apply any system management tools that help monitor health, temperatures, and fan speeds. If you are deploying virtualization or a clustered environment, proceed with your preferred hypervisor and cluster configuration steps.
