I've been eyeing the HYVE ZEUS 1U RACK / SUPERMICRO X9DRD-LF-TW008 listing for a while. For my application, the single PCIe slot without 10Gb ethernet, is the issue. (Thinking Elastic Search Node). So, can the single PCIe port ( list as PCIE4 off the CPU1 - 2nd CPU - in the supermicro user manual ) - can it Bifurcate to 8x8x ?
From how I read the supermicro manual and experience, in the "PCIe Port Bifurcation Control" section, the BIOS when shipped, could NOT Bifurcate.
If it can, then I need to find a 16x to 8x8x ... that would allow wedging a 10gb +PCIe NVMe adaptor in there.
