how to setup a server?

[berry]

Hi guys..
I am given an order to buy a server and complete the setup. what shall i need to consider and buy? I need the server to store the company data. the data size is not much. other than SQL server software, what else shall i need? Actually company has another server and this is another new server. How about network card? How about the LAN cable? If i need to extend a cable from production line to the server farm, what shall I do and buy? Finally, How do i setup the server?
Thank you very much.

Oh boy, you have a lot to think about and a lot to learn. I would suggest calling up a vendor or a VAR to begin discussing your requirements.
