| Power supply unit | Power Supply Unit (PSU) is a device that converts ac or dc input power to one or more dc power outputs for the purpose of powering a computer server. A computer server PSU must be self-contained and physically separable from the motherboard and must connect to the system via a removable or hard-wired electrical connection. | None | |
| IO device | A device which provides data input and output capability between a computer server and other devices. An I/O device may be integral to the computer server motherboard or may be connected to the motherboard via expansion slots (e.g., PCI, PCIe). Examples of I/O devices include discrete Ethernet devices, InfiniBand devices, RAID/SAS controllers, and Fibre Channel devices. | None | |
| Motherboard | The main circuit board of the server. For purposes of this specification, the motherboard includes connectors for attaching additional boards and typically includes the following components: processor, memory, BIOS, and expansion slots. | None | |
| Processor | The logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic instructions that drive a server. For purposes of this specification, the processor is the central processing unit (CPU) of the computer server. A typical CPU is a physical package to be installed on the server motherboard via a socket or direct solder attachment. The CPU package may include one or more processor cores. | None | |
| Memory | For purposes of this specification, memory is a part of a server external to the processor in which information is stored for immediate use by the processor. | None | |
| Hard drive | Hard Drive (HDD) is the primary computer storage device which reads and writes to one or more rotating magnetic disk platters. | None | |
| Solid state drive | Solid State Drive (SSD) is a storage device that uses memory chips instead of rotating magnetic platters for data storage. | None | |
| Other | Other | None |
