Computer server components are the hardware elements that make up a server, a powerful computer designed to manage, store, and process data and deliver services to other computers over a network. Servers support networked applications and services like web hosting, email, and file storage. Essential server components include the CPU, memory, storage, motherboard, power supply, and network interface, each contributing to the server's overall performance and reliability.
Experience seamless networking by advancing your server components to match data processing loads. Server barebones allow the installation of memory and expandability cards to accommodate server parts for data storage needs. Tower servers and server motherboards with multiple CPU sockets provide reliable processing power to execute demanding needs. Enclose the server hardware components in a rack and case corresponding to their rackmount size to protect them against theft and accidental damage.
Barebones systems with a server motherboard allow you to install storage components to meet your organization's demands. AMD and Intel® barebones are only compatible with their respective AMD and Intel processors. Dual socket motherboards provide support for significant processing loads. AMD EPYC™ and Intel scalable motherboards add commercial capabilities, such as higher cache memory, RAM, core count, and PCIe lanes to the parent processor to support heavy data requests. System on a Chip (SoC) motherboards integrate memory and graphics interfaces to deliver compact server computer components that consume less power and maintain optimal performance. The height of server hardware components determines a fitting server chassis. With each unit (U) measuring 1.75in, 2U server barebones will fit in a 3.5in (2U) server chassis.
Tower systems have less component density to facilitate faster cooling. Rack servers are small and stackable, making them a go-to option for offices with limited space. Blade servers are hot-swappable, which makes it convenient for personnel to identify and replace faulty server parts without affecting networking operations. Micro and super microsystems have an easily portable ultra-slim design, allowing users to stay productive on the go.
Server racks protect against dust and accidents. Open frame racks and rack shelves enhance heat dissipation. Wall mount server cabinets provide easy cable management by placing cables behind a cabinet wall. Rack enclosures offer a lockable system for server security and regulatory compliance. Offices with poor ventilation can utilize server room air conditioners to enhance the cooling of server components.
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) allows data to be stored across multiple hard drives, enhancing fault tolerance and data reliability. Raid 0 server components distribute data across hard drives to provide reliable read and write speeds. Raid 1 duplicates data on at least two drives to improve reliable fault tolerance. RAID level 0+1 and RAID 1+0 combine mirroring and striping to provide better throughput and enhance data recovery, ensuring both speed and data protection.
Servers with a redundant power supply use two power supplies, and each one retains the capacity to run the server if the other goes off, helping avoid a shutdown. A 1U power supply will typically have a single power supply input and is compact enough to fit in 1U racks. PS3 and PS2 options produce a power output of 400W to 1,000W for power rack mount servers and desktop systems, respectively.
