The difference between a server board and an ordinary PC motherboard

Server boards and general PC Motherboard differences:

first, the server board generally supports at least two processors -- different chipset ( often two or more servers, a single-channel server is sometimes used for desktop boards ) .

second, almost any part of the server is supported ECC , memory, processor, chipset ( but higher-order desktops also start to support ECC)

third, the server is redundant in many places, high-end servers even CPU , Memory has redundancy, mid-range server, hard disk, power supply redundancy is very common, but low-grade server is often the desktop of the modified products, but also selected a first-line factory power.

four, because the server network load is relatively large, so the server network card is generally used TCP/IP Uninstall the engine's network card, high efficiency, fast, CPU occupy small, but the current high-end desktop also began to use high-end network card or even dual network card.

Five, the hard disk, already many and more and more servers will use SAS/SCSI Replace SATA .
