you the dude that made the OA 2.2 bios?
Btw, what's the word on 16GB UDIMM ECC? I'd love to try the NL54 2.2ghz - the older one was just so damn slow that without 16GB ECC every boot, I'm afraid i'd rather go for the ml110 G7 which isn't much more money and has hot-swap bay the same, and decent intel xeon cpu's(E3-1270) and 32gb UDIMM ECC using the same chips the microserver uses to rock 16gb ECC iirc. Same direct fan out hot-swap with raid controller bays. x16, x4, x4, and x1 slots (x8 mechanical on the x4) but only pci-e 2.0 - So you will have to eat the x16 for the raid controller and perhaps run multiple gigabit on the x4 or single 10GBASE-T on each x4 - or two raid controllers on each x4 and 2 drives each?
ILO3 shared or separate port is also nicer than micro server. Gotta love the full ilo without a card. ML110 G7 also comes with option for 8 SFF ! Doesn't use the expensive SmartCarrier b/s cages that cost $40-60 for 2.5" you can rock the cheapie KIRF chinese hot swap cages quite fine!
Redundant hot-swap power supply option with 2 gold common slot 460w for those who can appreciate two power paths.
Dual crappy nic's (NC112) is a nice uplift too, since one nic just doesn't cut it these days, especially with ILO sharing eth0.
also ecc support with celeron g530 (!!) , pentium g630 or g840 , core i3-2120 and the xeon E3!! Apparently celeron are just slower pentium are just slower I3 are just slower xeon-e3 lol. Maybe less cache less mhz and less efficient.
I might have to replace my fire hazard ml110 g5 with one of these puppies! pop in a P420 raid card and x4 video card, and x4 10GBASE-T nic and pci-e x1 usb 3 ports.
