 +
There needs to be hardware (motherboard chipset video graphics etc) compatibility with the underlying Linux version that sme server uses.
 +
 +
For SME10 A4, it is based on CentOS 7.6.1810 and all available updates
 +
To test your hardware to see if compatible with the underlying Linux version, download & install the appropriate CentOS version as listed above.
 +
If you have problems installing CentOS then you are likely to have problems installing SME server, so in that case you may need to chose more compatible hardware.
 +
Sometimes you can turn off advanced features in the BIOS as a workaround where there are limited compatibility issues, and/or disable onboard components that are known to be incompatible & use add on plug in expansion boards to perform those functions eg NIC, graphics, where suitable drivers are not available for the onboard product.
