How to Install Tyan Tempest HX S7105
- Prepare your chassis and workspace: Ensure you have a compatible chassis with adequate clearance for the proprietary form factor and proper cooling. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge and organize your tools and components before starting the build.
- Install the processor and cooling solution: Insert the Xeon processor into the LGA-3647 socket following the alignment markers. Apply an appropriate amount of thermal compound if required by your cooler, then secure the heatsink and fan assembly to ensure optimal cooling performance during heavy workloads.
- Populate memory modules across the 12 slots: Install RAM modules (RDIMM, DIMM, or LRDIMM) in the recommended population pattern for your chosen memory type. Ensure each module clicks firmly into place and that slots are filled according to your workload requirements to maximize memory bandwidth and capacity.
- Connect storage and expansion components: Attach your SATA drives or SSDs to the two SATA interfaces, route cables neatly to avoid obstructing airflow, and install any additional PCIe expansion cards if your workload benefits from extra I/O, GPUs, or accelerators. Verify all connections are secure before powering on.
- Power up and configure the system: Connect the power supply, front-panel connectors, and network cables. Power on and enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify CPU, memory, and storage recognition. Apply any necessary BIOS updates, configure boot order, memory timings, and power management settings according to your workload needs, then save and exit.
