Server Motherboard PCB & PCBA Solutions
Server motherboards are some of the most demanding server PCB designs: high layer counts, dense BGA fan-out, multiple memory channels, many high-speed links, and strict mechanical constraints for chassis compatibility.
APTPCB manufactures and assembles server motherboard PCBs for rack servers, tower servers, blade servers, and edge servers, supporting complex layouts with CPUs, chipsets, DDR4/DDR5, PCIe expansion, BMC/management circuits and networking interfaces on a single board.

- Signal Integrity & Crosstalk Control: Careful layer stacking, ground referencing, and spacing strategies to keep high-speed storage lanes stable even in fully populated, high-density storage chassis
Networking & Switch PCB Assemblies for Data Centers
Data center networking equipment—switches, routers, and fabric systems—depends on high-performance network PCBs to move traffic between servers and storage at line rate. Line cards, control boards, and fabric modules all require precise PCB manufacturing and assembly to maintain link quality and port density.
APTPCB provides switch PCB and router PCB manufacturing and assembly for top-of-rack (ToR) switches, spine/core switches, and network appliances deployed in modern data centers and compute clusters.

AI, GPU, Mining & Accelerator PCB Solutions
AI and GPU servers concentrate extreme compute density into a single chassis. At the same time, GPU PCBs, mining PCBs and hashboard PCBs in mining farms operate at high current and elevated temperature for long periods. These accelerator and compute PCBs must support both performance and long-term reliability.
APTPCB manufactures and assembles GPU server PCBs, AI accelerator PCBs, FPGA/ASIC compute boards, mining PCBs and hashboard PCBs used in AI training, inference, blockchain mining and HPC systems.

Power Supply & Power Distribution PCBs for Servers & Miners
Stable power is essential in any server rack or mining farm. Redundant power supplies, rectifiers, VRMs, and power distribution boards rely on robust power PCBs that can handle high currents, surges, and continuous operation.
APTPCB produces server PSU PCBs, miner PSU PCBs and power distribution PCBs used in rack power supplies, blade server power modules, GPU and ASIC miner rigs, and auxiliary power boards in data centers.
Key Power PCB Features:

- Isolation & Safety Spacing: Creepage and clearance distances, slotting and cutouts designed according to your safety category, working voltage and insulation requirements
- Thermal Management for Power Stages: Copper pours, thermal vias, and optional metal-backed sections (where needed) for MOSFETs, rectifiers and transformers to dissipate heat efficiently and reduce component stress
- Integration with Control & Monitoring: PCBs that combine power conversion stages with digital control (PFC, LLC, DC/DC) and monitoring (PMBus, I²C, CAN, etc.) to fit modern server and miner PSU architectures
Signal Integrity & High-Speed Design Support for Server & Compute PCBs
Server, data center and compute PCBs must handle dozens or even hundreds of high-speed lanes. Maintaining signal integrity is critical to achieving link training, stable throughput and low bit-error rates.
APTPCB's manufacturing processes are tuned to support high-speed server PCBs, data center PCBs, GPU PCBs and compute PCBs that depend on precise geometries and consistent stackups.
Key SI-Oriented Manufacturing Practices:
- Controlled Impedance Manufacturing: Tight control of dielectric thickness, copper roughness, and trace width/spacing to match your impedance targets for differential and single-ended nets across the production run
- Stackup & Material Consistency: Adherence to specified stackup combinations (including hybrid builds if needed), ensuring consistent performance and SI behavior across prototypes, pilot and mass builds
- Via & Stub Management: Support for microvias, blind/buried vias, backdrilling (when required) and via-in-pad to minimize via stubs, reflections and discontinuities on high-speed nets
- Process Feedback for SI: DFM feedback on trace/space, via structures and reference plane transitions that may impact manufacturability and signal behavior, helping you refine future revisions
Testing & Quality Control for Server / Data Center / Compute PCBAs
Data center, AI and mining customers expect hardware that just works—continuously. For server PCB assembly, GPU PCB assembly and mining PCB assembly, quality control cannot be an afterthought.
APTPCB integrates multiple inspection and test stages into the PCBA process for server, data center and compute products.
Key PCBA Quality Steps:
- SPI (Solder Paste Inspection): Verifies solder paste volume and alignment before placement, reducing solder joint defects on dense BGA and fine-pitch areas
- AOI (Automated Optical Inspection): Checks component presence, orientation, polarity, and visible solder joints after reflow, catching most placement and soldering faults
- X-Ray Inspection (As Needed): Evaluates hidden joints under BGA, LGA, QFN and other bottom-terminated packages common in server, GPU and ASIC boards
- In-Circuit Test (ICT) / Flying Probe (When Designed In): Electrically verifies component values, connections, and basic functionality where test access and fixtures are available
- Functional Test (FCT): Executes power-up, basic boot checks, interface testing and other functional steps according to your test specification, confirming that server, GPU and mining PCBAs operate correctly as modules
- Final Quality Inspection: Confirms labeling, revision, cosmetic quality, quantity and packing before shipment, so what you receive is ready for incoming inspection, rack integration or rig installation
This layered approach to PCBA quality & testing reduces hidden defects and supports consistent performance across pilot runs and high-volume production. For server, data center, GPU and mining customers, this means fewer surprises during bring-up and deployment, smoother ramp, and lower maintenance and RMA costs over the life of the product.
