Server Categories

Not sure what to call these, but some system spec category ideas:

  • Class 1:
    • Sale or standard grant - Debian or Ubuntu
    • 1.0Ghz - 2.0 Ghz single or dual processor
    • Tower or rackmount larger then 1U
    • 1GB Ram
    • up to 3 SCSI harddrives installed in RAID, preferably hardware based
    • At least two 10/100 network interfaces, if adding one, make it a gigabit
  • Class 2:
    • Sale or standard grant - Debian or Ubuntu
    • 1Ghz - 2.0Ghz single or dual processor
    • 1U rackmount
    • Max RAM
    • up to 3 IDE or SCSI drives, depending on configuration
    • at least 2 10/100 network interfaces, if adding one, make it a gigabit
  • Class 3:
    • Grant by request, or infrastructure use, or ebay sale - OS to request or none
    • 2.0 Ghz or above, or any dual core or quad core processor(s)
    • Tower or rackmount less then 4U
    • Max RAM
    • IDE, SCSI, or SATA to spec requested - SCSI should be Ultra320 minimum
    • at least 1 Gigabit interface, and at least one other network interface
  • Class 4:
    • anything else, on a per server eval

Things to Test

  • Check BIOS voltage levels
  • Check both network ports are recognized by the OS, and light up when you plug in a network cable
  • Check CD-ROM and floppy drives
  • Check USB
  • Check KB/Mouse PS/2
  • Check video
