It’s my first rackmount server at 1U high and will be going into a colocation centre soonish.

It will be running a variety of applications including:

  • Mandriva Linux 2010.0
  • Web Serving: Nginx, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3
  • Mail: Postfix, Dovecot, RoundCube
  • DNS: PowerDNS, Bind
  • Database: MySQL
  • Virtual Hosting: VirtualBox

Server Specifications:

  • Intel SR1530HSH with S3200SHVL Motherboard. 320w PSU, 3x Hot Swap SATA HDD, 2x Gb Nic
  • Intel Q9550 Processor – 4x 2.83ghz, 12mb cache, e0 stepping
  • Intel Q9400 Processor – 4x 2.66ghz, 6mb cache, r0 stepping
  • 4x 2gb (8gb total) Kingston DDR2 800Mhz Ram
  • 2x 1Tb Seagate Hard Drives (in RAID 1)

Update: Unfortunately, the E0 stepping Q9550 is not supported for the bios of the s3200 motherboard, so I’ve had to switch down to the Q9400 with only 6mb cache :( .
