Server Builder

Start with a goal.
Build the request around you.

Explore the hardware, shape your configuration, and let CBS confirm the details.
01 / YOUR STARTING POINT

What would you like to do?

Just explore the hardware ↓
Choose your level of detail

Start with your platform and requirements. Exact part numbers are optional.

02 / PLATFORM & PURPOSE

Choose your starting platform.

You can leave a choice open for CBS. Every request starts with an HPE Renew preference.

Component quantities are per server. Project totals update automatically. For different configurations, describe the groups in your notes.

HPE Renew is the priority. CBS will confirm the exact condition, availability, and configuration before quoting.

Catalog starting points

Browse all catalog base servers. Filter by generation and model, or search by SKU and configuration. A base server may already include components; CBS will reconcile your requested changes.

03 / INSIDE YOUR SERVER

Explore. Understand. Specify.

Illustrative chassis views. Choosing a diagram does not change your selected server model.

Processors

Processors under the heatsinks.

The finned metal heatsinks sit over the processors. Match a processor kit to your server model, generation, and supported configuration.

Browse processors
Memory

Memory beside the processors.

The slim DIMM modules plug into memory slots on the system board. Match capacity, memory type, and speed to your platform.

Browse memory
Drives

Drives in removable trays.

Drive bays hold SSDs or hard drives in compatible carriers. Check the interface, drive size, and carrier requirements for your chassis.

Browse drives
Controllers

The storage connection.

A storage controller or HBA connects drives to the system. Its location and form factor vary by server and configuration.

Browse controllers
Cooling

Cooling through the chassis.

Fan modules move air across the components. Rack and tower servers have chassis-specific cooling hardware.

In the blade view, the fans are in the shared enclosure, outside the compute module.

Power supplies

Power for the system.

Power supplies feed the server. Their form factor, wattage, and redundancy options depend on the platform.

In the blade view, power supplies are in the shared enclosure, outside the compute module.

All component selections require compatibility review. Quantities are requests, not slot counts or stock availability.

04 / YOUR CONFIGURATION REQUEST

Review it your way.

Use a guided checklist, a parts list, or a plain-text brief. These views describe the same request.

Compatibility review required

CBS must confirm the exact model, generation, installed hardware, supported options, quantities, condition, and availability. This is a quote request, not an approved build or stock reservation.
