Hardware Upgrades - DigitalFyre Knowledge Base

After provisioning, you can request hardware upgrades for your bare metal server. All upgrades are subject to component availability, current market pricing, and whether your server’s motherboard and chassis support the requested configuration.

What Can Be Upgraded

Component	Details
Memory	Additional RAM or higher-capacity modules
Storage	Additional drives or larger drives
GPU	Add or upgrade GPU cards (subject to chassis and power availability)
Network Uplink	Upgrade from 1 Gbit to 10 Gbit (subject to location availability)

How to Request

Open a Support Ticket

Describe the Upgrade

Specify the component you want upgraded and the desired configuration.

Confirmation

DigitalFyre will confirm compatibility, pricing, and scheduling. Upgrades that cannot be accommodated due to availability, pricing, or hardware limitations will be communicated at this stage.

Maintenance Window

Hardware upgrades may require a brief maintenance window depending on the component being changed. The support team will coordinate timing with you.

Limitations

Constraint	Description
Component Availability	Upgrade parts are subject to stock availability and current market pricing at the time of the request
Motherboard Support	The server’s motherboard determines maximum supported configurations (e.g., memory slots, PCIe lanes, CPU socket)
Chassis Constraints	Physical space, power delivery, and cooling capacity within the chassis may limit GPU and storage upgrades
Memory Slots	A server with all memory slots populated cannot accept additional RAM without replacing existing modules with higher-capacity ones

If your requirements significantly exceed your current server’s capabilities, it may be more practical to provision a new server and migrate.
