Introduction

I didn't take enough pictures during installation back in 2020, so I will show what I have as much as I can.

The installation of the computing cluster was separated as a sub project. For more information, please refers to the Computing Cluster Project.

The deployment of the 40G LAN was separated as a sub project. For more information, please refers to the 40G Network Project.

Stability & Performance Test

Once the server was up and running, I installed Windows and performed CineBench R15 to make sure the server was running at optimal performance.
