Hardware requirements
Learn about your SMC hardware before deploying ThoughtSpot.
| ThoughtSpot has stopped selling and renewing hardware appliance contracts. See CentOS end-of-life announcement for more information, and alternative deployment options. |
About the hardware
You can deploy ThoughtSpot on two different appliance hardware platforms: Haswell and Skylake. Both of the platforms provide the same performance. Refer to Haswell and Skylake hardware details for details on their physical differences.

Haswell front and back views
These images show the front and back views of each appliance.
The nodes on the front of both appliances go from A-D left to right. For this Haswell appliance, only Node D is populated.
The nodes on the back of both appliances are in a reverse N shape, with Node A at the lower right and Node D at the upper left.
The Haswell appliance shown here is not fully populated, as it only has three nodes. Your appliance may be populated with 1-4 nodes, depending on the ordered configuration. If you order less than four nodes, ThoughtSpot fills the empty slot with a filler panel.
Location of serial number
You may need to know your appliance’s serial number, to be able to access online help from your appliance provider. Find your Super Micro Computer’s serial number on the top of the appliance, above the label for Node D at the front right corner.
