How to Install Tyan Thunder HX FA77-B7119 Barebone System

• Prepare the workspace on an anti-static surface and verify all components are present. Ensure power readiness and compatibility with your data-center environment before beginning assembly.
• Install the CPU(s) into the LGA-3647 sockets, apply thermal interface material as required, and attach the appropriate heatsinks or cooling assemblies. Ensure proper seating and secure mounting to maintain thermal performance under load.
• Populate the memory modules into the 24 memory slots following the motherboard’s channeling guidelines. Use matched DIMM kits to maximize memory bandwidth and reliability, and confirm that the memory is recognized in the system BIOS/UEFI before proceeding.
• Connect storage controllers and drives according to your desired RAID and storage topology. Configure RAID settings in the system’s BIOS/UEFI or use the SAS controller interface to establish your preferred arrays, ensuring boot drives and data drives are properly identified.
• Power on and enter the system BIOS/UEFI to configure boot order, virtualization features, and general server settings. Validate hardware visibility, run POST checks, enable necessary features (e.g., VT-d or SR-IOV if applicable), and install your operating system or virtualization platform using preferred installation media.
