Default Options: Model (required) - EasyDCIM server model Location (required) - desired server location OS Template - reinstall server with a chosen OS template before delivering it to client Monthly Traffic Limit - bandwidth limit per server Additional IP Addresses - number of additional IP addresses assigned to a server HDD/SSD/RAM Size - required amount of memory in specific parts, note 1GB is equal to 1024 MB CPU cores - number of CPU cores Product Configuration Auto Accept - automatically run server matching, server will be provisioned in a few moments Require PDU - provisioned server must be connected to a PDU device Require Switch - provisioned server must be connected to a Switch device Debug Mode - use only if you are troubleshooting Item Model Basically, define if a chosen part has to be of a specific model, for example match server using `Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5` CPU. Client Area Features Define elements available to your client in your WHMCS client area.

15. Now, optionally you can generate default configurable options to allow orders tailored to your clients needs. We recommend viewing and modifying them to fit your provisioning capabilities. You can find them under 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Configurable Options'. Note: Any configurable option will overwrite its counterpart from product 'Module Settings'.

Tips

1. Note that two identical orders may result in assigning server with slightly different parameters. It is the result of the way EasyDCIM server matching works. It matches a server basing on the resources and models mentioned in the order, without considering other resources. While it attempts to find a server matching the order completely, in case it fails, server fulfilling more requirements than others will be assigned. More information about server provisioning flow can be found on EasyDCIM documentation page.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
