- VLAN Configuration: Configuring virtual LANs (VLANs) to segment the network and improve security.
- Link Aggregation: Configuring link aggregation to increase network bandwidth and improve fault tolerance.
- Quality of Service: Configuring Quality of Service (QoS) settings to prioritize different types of network traffic and ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need.
- Firewall Configuration: Configuring the server's firewall to control inbound and outbound network traffic and improve security.
- Remote Management: Configuring remote management options, such as SSH or Remote Desktop, to allow administrators to access the server remotely.
- DNS Configuration: Configuring the server's DNS settings to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
- DHCP Configuration: Configuring the server's DHCP settings to automatically assign IP addresses to devices on the network.
- NTP Configuration: Configuring the server's NTP settings to synchronize the system clock with an NTP server.
- TCP/IP Optimization: Optimizing TCP/IP settings to improve network performance and reduce latency.
- Router Configuration: Configuring the router to forward traffic to the server and ensure that the network is properly configured.
- Switch Configuration: Configuring the switch to ensure that the network is properly configured and that the server is properly connected to the network.
- Load balancer Configuration: Configuring a load balancer to distribute network traffic across multiple servers and improve performance.
- WAN Configuration: Configuring the server to communicate over a wide-area network (WAN) and ensure that the network is properly configured.
- VPN Configuration: Configuring virtual private networks (VPNs) to secure network communications and allow remote access to the server.
It is important to understand the network infrastructure and the devices that are part of the network, to ensure that the server is properly configured and that the network is optimized for performance and security.

About Refurbished Products
Server Motherboard
The server motherboard coordinates and houses the vital components of the server from the CPU (Central Processing Unit) to the chipset, the PCIe slots, and all the RDIMM sockets. It can also be called a multiprocessor or systems board. A server motherboard hosts communications between the Server CPU and other systems connected to the server via a network which could be a server database, applications server, or web server. The server motherboard unlike a desktop motherboard typically has more than one microprocessor due to the workload as a lot of processes are always running in the background. Hence, it has more cores and threads for efficient data processing.
Server Board Components
- CPU support: these days, the memory controller is built directly into the CPU, therefore allowing it to support different memory speeds. That is why CPU count and the CPU type become important. For instance, Intel's Motherboard is only compatible with Intel processors. Hence, an LGA 771 CPU must be installed on an LGA 771 motherboard.
- Processor slots: Some motherboards can have two or more processors. Subject to server and processor type, the installation of the processor could be in a ZIF socket, a single-processor cartridge, or a patented multiprocessor cartridge. These days, server processors are socketed. Server boards based on ATX, BTX, and other form factors can also support up to 4 processors as the motherboard to be used in a server is influenced by the number of processors.
- Chipset: Although your motherboard may have a similar form factor with another server board, the components for compatibility depend on the chipset of the motherboard itself. It is made up of the north and south bridges. The northbridge is the chip controlling the channel of communication between the CPU, Memory, PCIe, and the southbridge. While the southbridge connects the input and output devices like the USBs, SATA, Bus, and others. It also regulates power management. Some server boards also have other chips for more functions like network control, PCI-X control, etc. The server motherboard's chipset supports memory ECC (error-correcting code) and Registered SDRAM and DDR RAM. It also supports PCI-X expansion slots
