So you want to give us hardware? Great! Here's what we need...
|
|
|
|
==============================================================
|

|
|
|
|
If you want to [donate hardware][], there are specific requirements
|
|
|
|
for machine we manage that you should follow. For other donations,
|
|
|
|
please see the [donation site][].

This list is not final, and if you have questions, please [contact

|

us](doc/how-to-get-help).
|

|

|
|
Must have:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Out of band management with dedicated network port, preferably a
|
|
|
|
BMC, or failing that, serial console and networked power bars
|
|
|
|
Rackmount
|
|
|
|
* No human intervention to power on or reboot
|
|
|
|
* Warranty or post-warranty hardware support, preferably provided by
|
|
|
|
the sponsor
|
|
|
|
* Under the 'ownership' of Tor, although long-term loans can also
|
|
|
|
work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Would like to have:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Production quality rather than pre-production hardware
|
|
|
|
* Support for multiple drives (so we can do RAID) although this can
|
|
|
|
be waived for disposable servers like build boxes
|
|
|
|
* Hosting for the machine: we do not run our own datacenters or rack,
|
|
|
|
so it would be preferable if you can also find a hosting location
|
|
|
|
for the machine |
