After a successful update of Coherence's OS, we can now finally start looking into upgrading the now "ancient" hardware.
Hardware Requirements
- A way faster CPU than we have now (i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz)
- CPU supporting VT-D (HW Pass-through would be nice)
- Minimal 32GB DDR3/4 ram support and more than two banks (For future expansions)
- More than one PCI-E port free (Doesn't have to be x16 but at least one x16 would be preferable)
- 4 SATA6 ports (More sata ports would be nice to have)
- Low power consumption (130-100 watt peak)
- Preferably an atx server motherboard with IPMI (such as a Supermicro)
- USB3 would be nice to have, but can be mitigated with a USB pci-e card if needed
- Everything fitting in one case
- Preferably two nics (excluding IPMI) although that can also be mitigated to a pci-e nic
DDR3 might be more preferable in way since we got a lot of DDR3 ECC available, which would mean we don't have to buy new ram.
Hardware we got
- Supermicro tower 4U case (Need to add extra info)
- 4 port intel nic (Need to add extra info)
- 2 port intel nic (Need to add extra info)
- 64GB intel SSD (Need to add extra info)
Current hardware in Coherence
- i5-3470 CPU @ 3.20GHz
- 16GB DDR3
- 1x 120GB SSD
- 2x 4TB HDD
