Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
maybe write your hw configuration first. Eg: CPUs, graphic cards, HDDs |
| 4 |
(size, speed, type) and others. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Also provide lspci output and /proc/cpuinfo. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Then this is a server, maybe with more than one GB nic. If you dont use |
| 9 |
spare nics disable them in bios. Do the same with other unneeded stuff. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
If you can access your server and replace cards, remove everything you |
| 12 |
dont need. Do not lower fans or dont play with cpu voltage. If you want |
| 13 |
to run this server 24/7 it can cause serious problems. It will not save |
| 14 |
you much power. Paradoxly this could lead to higher power usage in |
| 15 |
some cases, because of hotter devices. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Remove spare memory cards, if you dont need much memory, etc. |
