1.2 Preparation for on-premises machine installation
Installation (Pre-)Requirements:
To install AI Labs on-premises Fed Machine, please reserve the following:
- IP address (in hospital private network)
- SSL certificate (FQDN under institution domain)
- Outbound Firewall open for Aggregator IP (IP: 202.39.156.141, or other assigned IP) and HTTPS port (port: 443)
The needs for placing the Fed Machine inside the server rack are:
- 4U space
- 1200W power supply
- 110V or 220V power source (auto-swap), with standard Taiwan power jack 3-pin interface
- RJ45 ethernet cable (1000Mbps Gigabit NIC connection)
The considerations of server space:
- Security: Restricted access could help secure the device. All management could be operated remotely.
- Stable Power Supply: UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and voltage stabilizer are suggested to make sure the reliability of the device.
- Cooling: Like other servers in the server room, cooling system is required.
- Network Stability: A stable network environment could ensure the Federated Learning progress success.
There is no extra management needed for the Fed Machine. The device could be managed like other servers inside the server room.
