# Ordering a server

> The six steps of the order form and the rules it enforces: card and count, region, OS and template, pre-loaded model, storage and network options, term and access.

The order form is six short steps with a running quote. Every rule below is enforced twice, in the page and on the server, so a request the form would not allow is refused rather than silently corrected.

## 1. Hardware

Pick a card and how many: 1, 2, 4 or 8. The price is linear; the chassis share is already in each card's cost sheet. Two-card and four-card servers of SXM cards share the same HGX baseboard as the eight-card node, so NVLink is complete between them.

## 2. Region

Reykjavík, Helsinki, Amsterdam or Singapore, same price everywhere. Pick by latency to your users or your data; the [regions page](https://dedigpu.com/regions) has the numbers.

## 3. Software

- **Operating system.** Ubuntu 24.04 or 22.04, Debian 12, Rocky Linux 9 on any card; Windows Server 2022 on PCIe and workstation cards only (never on SXM or OAM nodes), with its licence billed at our rate.
- **Template.** Filtered by the card's vendor (CUDA stacks on NVIDIA, ROCm builds on MI300X) and by the OS family. [All fourteen](https://dedigpu.com/templates).
- **Model and precision.** Serving templates (vLLM, SGLang, TGI, Ollama) take a model name and a precision. The form reads the parameter count from the name and refuses a combination that cannot fit: parameters × bytes per parameter × 1.2 must be at most the server's total memory. FP8 is refused on Ampere cards. [Details](https://dedigpu.com/docs/preloading-a-model).

## 4. Storage and network

Extra NVMe in 2, 4 or 8 TB, extra IPv4 addresses up to eight, a 25 Gbit/s uplink where the standard port is 10, a private VLAN. These are the only lines with a margin and each shows its monthly price as you tick it.

## 5. Term and access

One, three, six or twelve months, with the discount shown against each. A name for the server. Up to 5 SSH keys from your key ring; with no key, a root password is generated and shown on the server page.

## 6. Review

Every choice, the monthly price line by line (server, options, licence, discount), the amount charged now and the renewal amount. The order button is disabled until the balance covers the amount due; the page tells you how much to top up.
