Server Build - The Planet

To give you an up-close look at the guts of a server, we removed all of the components from a Dell Poweredge 840 tower server chassis.

In this video, Scott reconstructs the server, installing a 2.4GHz Intel Conroe 3060 processor, 4GB of DDR2 667 ECC RAM, a 146GB 10K RPM SAS HDD and all the other necessary pieces to bring the server to life.

If you've never seen a server being constructed, check it out! Leave a comment if you've got any questions.

@arownious That's not Scott, but the guy looks a lot like him, and the video is teetering on the line between insane and hilarious.

Thanks!

Leaving the "screwing in" sections at normal speed made for a lot of dead air, so we wanted to keep it as fast-paced as possible without glossing over any of the major additions (which is why the video returns to normal speed as soon as it's time to move to the next component/area).

@hraqhraq It's only a CD drive.

The heatsink should be turned 90° for the airflow to be correct...

Isn't there a VGA port on the front? Odd for Dell!
