What are the Hardware Requirements to be a Node Provider?

Hardware requirements are specified for all nodes that were purchased prior to Genesis - these are 'Gen 1'.
Gen 2 hardware requirements are currently under discussion as they must be approved by the NNS.

Validated Configurations

DFINITY has validated the following Gen2 hardware configurations.

Validated configuration: Dell

2	1600 Watt redundant PSU
1	Broadcom 25 Gigabit P225P SFP28 Dual Port Network Card

Validated configurations: Supermicro & Gigabyte

We're re-running validation on Supermicro and Gigabyte machines which match the spec. This section will be updated when those results are ready.

-DFINITY has [https://forum.dfinity.org/t/draft-motion-proposal-new-hardware-specification-and-remuneration-for-ic-nodes/14202/14?u=garym validated] the following Gen2 hardware configurations. Some exceed the minimum spec, but new node hardware purchased to use on the IC doesn't need to have such beefy specs. Machines which meet the minimum requirements are sufficient.
