# Prepare hardware

In this section, we outline the system requirements and recommended CPU specifications needed for effectively monitoring your cryptocurrency mining operations.

## R**ecommended CPU specifications**

The hardware specifications vary depending on the number of miners managed, ranging from a Raspberry Pi for smaller setups to enterprise-grade servers for larger operations.

<table><thead><tr><th width="90.30859375">Miners</th><th>0 - 2,000</th><th>2,000 - 4,000</th><th>4,000 - 10,000</th><th>10,000+</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Device</strong></td><td>Raspberry Pi 4B/5 or equivalent server/PC</td><td>Intel i5 or equivalent AMD processor, with a minimum of 4 cores</td><td>Intel i7 or equivalent AMD processor, with a minimum of 8 cores and 16 threads</td><td>Enterprise-grade server is recommended — please contact us for a consultation.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>RAM</strong></td><td>At least 4GB</td><td>6-8GB</td><td>16GB</td><td>-</td></tr></tbody></table>

## S**oftware Requirements**

* **Operating System:** Ubuntu preferred 24.04 LTS or higher.
* **Connectivity:** Stable network connection with access to remote miners.

Our monitoring platform's architecture allows for the distribution of tasks across multiple smaller servers rather than relying on a single powerful server. This not only facilitates easier and more scalable deployment but also provides flexibility in managing workloads.

A MoonOne agent is deployed on each server to manage miners based on the configuration.

* **Single Computer per Mining Container**: Suitable for smaller operations, where each agent can handle roughly 500 miners per container.
* **Shared Computer for Multiple Containers**: For more extensive networks, a single agent manages several thousand miners across multiple containers.
* **Enterprise Server for Entire Site**: In large-scale environments, a robust enterprise server with one MoonOne agent can manage over 10,000 miners, ensuring efficient and streamlined operations.

This scalable and flexible architecture is designed to accommodate various operational needs and technology environments.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.watcherlink.online/getting-started/prepare_hardware.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
