STAGE 01
Visual & Authenticity
Physical Integrity & Serial Verification
Cross-referencing exact OEM part numbers (MPN), batch revisions, tamper seals and barcodes. Full physical inspection of chassis sheet metal, PCB traces, gold edge fingers and CPU socket pins for any sign of oxidation or transit damage.
Key checkpoints: S/N consistency · Tamper-evident seals · Pin visual audit · Chassis geometry
STAGE 02
Architecture & Microcode
Component Architecture & Firmware Audit
Verifying CPU stepping revisions, DRAM SPD parameters, multi-channel DIMM rank pairing, NVMe/SAS firmware levels, and motherboard PCIe bifurcation topologies on certified test benches.
Key checkpoints: BIOS/BMC baseline · Memory rank pairing · PCIe 5.0 link width · Topology scan
STAGE 03
Burn-in Diagnostics
24-48h Burn-in & Stress Diagnostics
Running prolonged continuous burn-in based on project tier. Deploying Linpack/Prime95 compute stress, MemTest86 ECC diagnostics, GPU matrix compute stress, and enterprise storage continuous IOPS cycles while monitoring thermals and power ripple stability.
Key checkpoints: Thermal logging · Zero ECC errors · GPU temperature curve · PCIe stability check
STAGE 04
ESD & Heavy-duty Packaging
Mil-Spec ESD & High-Density Shock Shielding
Components heat-sealed in military-spec ESD shielding bags. Complete server chassis and high-value accelerator cards cushioned with custom high-density EPE foam molding, 5-layer heavy-duty export cartons, desiccant packs, and steel-banded pallets.
Key checkpoints: ESD bag seal · EPE shock absorption · Drop/shock indicator tags · Export strapping
STAGE 05
Traceability & Compliance
Full Traceability, QA Sign-off & Export Clearance
Generating formal QA sign-off certificates with detailed hardware serial manifests, stress logs, and engineer sign-offs. Coordinated with Hong Kong trade documentation, export customs clearance, and end-use compliance records.
Key checkpoints: Engineer-signed certificate · Serial packing list · Export customs filings · Traceability archive
