Happy summer, Baotong teaches you how to play the server DIY

talk about computing power, we know that now is not the fastest CPU to 3GHZ, even quad-core processors will 3.6GBHZ to the top. How to get more top-level computing power? This is the multi-CPU parallel use on multiple cores, the server and workstation can use 2 or 4 CPUs together, which makes the computing power one step further. It is generally believed that two CPUs can be used in parallel to achieve performance of 1.5 times or more. For example, two 3GHZ CPUs can be used in parallel in the server to obtain 4.5 GHz performance. This is what many video workers need.

repeat data security, server's hard disk RAID storage system has a backup system, such as a RAID5, is loadable six hard disk, and a hard disk five other compressed backup data index, in case of a bad disk It can recover data and make data more secure. This is even more important when generating some important data, or some video production, and doing a lot of complicated tasks, because many material sources come from different disks, different directories, and if you lose or connect to the video, it will be wasted, or Some effects are a variety of choices after a variety of attempts, and then can not necessarily restore that effect, which can waste dozens of hundreds of hours of effective working time, the cost is very high.

How to assemble?


how to assemble your own server? Let's take a look at the perspective of motherboards that people don't care about. It is wise to choose an Intel original motherboard when assembling a server or workstation. It not only ensures the stability and reliability of the installation, but also achieves superb performance. The Intel server board specifications are relatively simple and easy to remember.

Manager of Marketing Department of Baotong Company introduced that the original Intel original motherboards in the market are mainly single-channel boards and two-way boards, and four-way boards can be ordered by dealers, which are rarely seen in the market. Spot. The dual-board is mainly used with the Intel Xeon 5500 and Xeon 5600 series quad-core/six-core CPUs to form a two-way server or workstation. The single board is mainly used in the Intel Xeon3000 series single quad core CPU, which can assemble 1U, 2U cost-effective utility server.

Intel dual main board called the 5000 series motherboard model name: Intel S5520HC, Intel S5520SC, Intel S5500BC, Intel S5400SF, Intel S5000VSA, Intel S5000PLA and so on. When you identify the Intel motherboard, you can look at the main model first, such as the Intel S5520HC motherboard, the main model is 5520, which means that its motherboard Northbridge chipset is Intel 5520 chip, Intel 5520 chipset motherboard can support Xeon5600, Xeon5500 series processors. Such as Intel S5400SF motherboard, the chipset is Intel 5400 chip, can support quad-core dual-core processor.

Similarly, Intel's main single board called the 3000 series motherboard model name: Intel S3420GPLC, Intel S3200SH, Intel S3210SHLC, Intel S3000AH etc., corresponding Xeon3400 quad-core processor, Xeon3200SH dual-core processor and many more. Take Intel S3420GPLC motherboard as an example, it is Intel3420 chipset, support single Xeon3400 series processor, Intel S3200SH motherboard, Intel3200 chipset, support Xeon3300 series dual core, quad core processor and so on.

Replay video!


many people like to do a video workstation with a mid-range servers. We said earlier that the parallel use of dual CPUs can increase the computing power to 1.5 times, so that using the server board can support two quad-core or six-core CPUs running at the same time. On this basis, the performance is improved by half times, which is very powerful. . At the same time, with DDR3 memory, QPI bus, high-performance GPU graphics and image acceleration card, you can get high image processing capabilities. The operating system is generally 64-bit Windows 7.

Dual-board motherboards support DDR3 memory, and support memory ranging from tens of GB to hundreds of GB. Memory speed and size can also affect computing power. The new single-board motherboard supports DDR3 memory, and the old model also supports DDR2 memory, with a maximum support range of 8GB to 16GB.

many world famous workstations are using the mid-way servers is recommended to use a workstation to do so relatively affordable price, such as HP workstations, and so on. If you buy a dedicated graphics workstation, the price is very high, and the configuration does not necessarily meet your own requirements, such as the number of hard drives, the level of graphics and graphics cards, etc., and the self-assembly is more flexible in configuration, and the price is very affordable. Bao Tong

technical experts also warned: single motherboard stability, reliability, and network connectivity capabilities are relatively strong, more suitable for workgroup server or a file server as a year-round boot, it is not very suitable for video Workstations, because their computing power is not as strong as high-end desktops. If the generated video data is more precious and needs to be protected against loss and destruction, the RAID backup function is required, and this function is also supported by the server board and not supported by the desktop board. So if you want to assemble a low-end workstation, you can use a high-quality desktop board and be suitable for high-end graphics cards. And to assemble a high-end server or workstation, start with two-way.
