Chapter 47 Workstations and Operating Systems
After taking a look at the circle of hardware on the ground, Chen Chen suddenly realized that the configuration of the workstation his father made for him exceeded his original requirements.
Most of them are at least doubled, especially the hard drive, with a total capacity of 128tb, which really surprised me a little.
However, what Chen Chen was surprised was not the specific performance and specifications of these hardware. These hardware were already the most powerful on this planet, but they were still not at the same level as those he used in his previous life.
What Chen Chen was surprised was the idea of the earthlings and his father's serious and excessive attitude of doing things for himself.
But that's good. Since the specifications have doubled, you should be able to make a little more.
Under Chen Chen's gaze, the two hardware engineers worked more carefully and put these special hardware into the specially customized chassis one by one.
The chassis of Chen Chen's workstation is basically the same height as an adult, and is placed against the wall.
The overall appearance of the piano paint is milky white, and the shape is designed to look like a simple transparent display cabinet.
The front looks like several transparent grids that are arranged in a staggered manner, and the grids are various accessories of the workstation.
On one of the grids, there is an LCD screen about ten inches.
The above shows the working status of hardware such as processor frequency, usage rate, graphics card frequency, usage rate, memory usage rate, hard disk usage rate, network usage rate, etc., which is displayed in various charts, which looks very technological.
Then, Chen Chen's workstation has almost the highest hardware scale on the earth at present, and naturally, its heat generation is also amazing.
If you use traditional heat pipes, fins and cooling fans, you can't suppress them at all, and there will be a lot of noise.
Anyone who has been to the server room knows that the sounds there are comparable to the vegetable market.
Therefore, in order to make Chen Chen comfortable to use, Chen Jiansheng specifically asked that all hardware were replaced with liquid circulation cooling systems similar to the automotive engine cooling system.
Use special coolant to directly contact major heat generators through integrated cold heads, processors, motherboard chips, graphics card chips, graphics card memory and other heating devices. Through the flow of coolant, heat is brought out of the chassis and through the pipes to external dedicated cooling and cooling.
The cooling cooling vents and fans are placed in the next room, like an air conditioner hanging outdoors.
In this way, when the workstations in the room are running, there will be almost no noise, because there is no mechanical hard disk that can emit vibration, and there is no cooling fan that makes sound.
The cooling fans and cooling row that make noise are moved to another room.
This room is also a place to store Chen Chen's workstation and spare parts for gaming computers, as well as a large-capacity ups power supply to prevent almost impossible power outages, and also has industrial-grade air conditioners to keep the temperature constant.
Chen Jiansheng's consideration was very thorough, or the engineers under Chen Jiansheng's consideration was quite thorough.
Even if there are one percent of the possible things to use, Chen Chen has fully equipped them.
Because the hardware structure is customized and the user is a teenage girl, she has to consider the beauty after installation, so the entire installation process is extremely slow.
Chen Chen was drowsy after seeing him, and then he really fell asleep.
By the time Chen Chen woke up, it was already eleven o'clock noon. The two engineers finally installed all the hardware and finally started the test.
Hu Weimin took off his gloves and pressed the power-on button.
Various indicator lights in the transparent display cabinet were lit one after another, three 46-inch display screens lit up, and the workstation began to turn on the self-test.
Workstations and servers are different from home computers. The self-test process when booting is very complicated and long. The entire process usually takes more than one minute to enter the system startup interface.
With the attention of the two engineers, the first self-test was successfully passed.
Seeing that there was no abnormality in these customized hardware, the two engineers breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
Then Hu Weimin turned around and came to Chen Chen: "Miss Chenchen, the hardware has been installed now, and it is time to install the system. Now I want to ask, what operating system are you used to using?
"Is it ordinary Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 or 2016, or various Linux systems such as Red Hat and Ubantu?"
“Or, do you know the difference between these systems?”
Speaking of this, Hu Weimin looked up at Chen Chen, wanting to see Chen Chen’s reaction to these words.
It is obvious that in the eyes of the engineer, Chen Chen, the innocent beautiful girl who grew up in the boudoir, probably didn't even know what the operating system was, let alone the differences between various systems.
She may not even be able to tell the most common home systems, win7 and win10.
However, the engineer deliberately asked more professional servers and Linux. First of all, the hardware specifications of this workstation are not suitable for ordinary Windows systems.
Secondly, he also wanted to see if this beautiful girl, who looked like a doll, would show a confused look.
She must be very interesting in that way. Hu Weimin, who has become a father, has the mentality of teasing a newly sensible child.
However, after hearing Hu Weimin's words, Chen Chen shook his head calmly:
"The system doesn't need to be installed, I'll do it myself. You can't do the system I use, just make sure the hardware is fine."
Hu Weimin was obviously stunned for a moment. Although he understood what Chen Chen said, he did not react for a while.
Chen Chen said that he installed the system himself, and said that the system she used could not be made by herself.
As the most senior hardware engineer of Eternal Electronics, Hu Weimin doubted whether he had heard it wrong.
Then he asked again with a puzzled expression: "Are you sure? You install the system yourself? This is a specially customized workstation, not an ordinary computer."
Chen Chen understood the engineer's mood very well and smiled faintly: "You only need to make sure that there is no problem with the hardware, and don't worry about the rest. This is my own requirement. My father will not have any objections, so you don't have to worry."
Hu Weimin was silent, while Li Cheng stood up. He thought Chen Chen wanted to learn the system installation, so he said in a panic:
"That...what, why don't Miss Chenchen start the installation now. We can guide you here. If there is any problem during the installation process, we can help you solve it at any time."
Chen Chen knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he shook his head gently: "No, the installation process of my own system is really inconvenient to show you, so I'm sorry..."
What else did the two engineers want to say? Duanmu stood up every day and blocked their words.
In the eyes of the maid, there is no need for Chen Chen to continue to consume his energy and explain his thoughts to these two people:
"Two engineers have worked hard, so they go to their restaurant for a meal and then go back to the company as soon as possible. There is no need for other technical support here."
Li Cheng wanted to say something, but Hu Weimin grabbed him: "Okay, thank you!"
