- RAM
Quad-channel RAM architecture must be used on the server,
i.e. there have to be at least 4 memory modules of the same type and manufacturer placed in the blue slots of the motherboard
(the slots may be colored differently in some motherboards, for details see the motherboard manual)
It can be checked with CPU-Z

- Graphics adapter
For WEB UI one needs a simple card supporting Direct Show/3D, e.g. NVidia 710,1030 or alike, integrated video Intel HD graphics
When using a transcoder (Multirec/VPlay) one may employ CUDА hardware capacity on the video card. To do that, NVIDIA 1050ti/1060 must be used. These cards allow transcoding 2 channels.
In order to transcode more channels, one must use cards of NVIDIA Quattro (We recomend to use P2000 or higher).
When using MultiScreen, one must choose CUDA decoder in the video service settings, which allows decoding up to 16 HD channel (1080i)
(on 1050ti/1060 cards)

Video adapter can also be checked with CPU-Z
- Frame grabbers
Choosing a slot for installing a Streamlabs frame grabber expansion card, there must be a dedicated line between the processor and the slot.
The board will most likely not work on the slots connected via PCH.
For details check the motherboard manual.
