how to install Tyan FT77B7015 Barebone System

• Prepare your rack space and securely mount the FT77B7015 chassis in a compatible 19-inch rack. Ensure proper clearance for cooling and cable management.
• Install the two Intel Xeon processors into the Socket B LGA-1366 sockets according to the processor manufacturer’s guidelines, applying thermal paste as required and attaching compatible heatsinks.
• Populate all 18 DIMM slots with DDR3 memory modules, following the memory population guidelines for mixed or uniform module configurations to maximize bandwidth and stability.
• Insert your chosen 2.5" drives into the four drive bays, then configure the Serial ATA RAID controller for your desired RAID level (RAID 0/1/5/10 as supported by your controller and OS).
• Connect power, data, and management cables, and verify that all fans and cooling paths are unobstructed for optimal airflow within the 4U chassis.
• Power on the system and enter the server BIOS/UEFI to configure boot devices, CPU/memory settings, and RAID initialization. Install your preferred operating system or hypervisor onto the boot drive.
• Once the OS is installed, install any necessary drivers for the RAID controller, network interfaces, and management utilities. Configure remote management settings if available for easier administration.
