In general, servers aren't much different from computers, so if you are comfortable working with computer hardware, I would recommend becoming familiar with some of the features of servers that set them apart from computers: BMC/ESM - nearly all servers have a management devices for monitoring, managing, and/or troubleshooting server hardware. Most servers have redundant power supplies, multiple NIC's, RAID controllers, and take server-grade drives, memory, and processors. Know why they are there, why, and what they can do. You should know the basics of RAID.

Hello good People of EE,<br />
<br />
Please I applied for Server Hardware maintenance and repair job, although, In my current place of work, I do all kind of IT work ranging from Installation, configuration and Implementation of IT Infrastructure, but anytime we have issue with our equipment i.e Server, I always take it to service center.<br />
<br />
Although I am a MCSE certified on Server Infrastructure, but is there any other things I should know about server hardware repair? and which question should be expected from the Interviewers.<br />
<br />
Please all advice will be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Server Hardware Repair and maintenance

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
