Another Hyve server—seems like it's the older brother of the Hyve S-SKUD. Chassis seems identical to the SKUD (are motherboards compatible?). This particular one is an Apple AMP-CONV server, but others are available like APPLE-ISO-FS and APPLE-SIRI-G22T4 with different PSU and storage configurations.

Other configs are online with different PSUs and storage configurations
This is the first actual prebuilt server I've ever had, so my testing is obviously limited.

PCIe Expansion + M.2:
Some basic measurements using a Kill-A-Wat connected with an extension cord to both PSUs
Shipping Damage:
Came in a very large box, well padded and with foam cutouts to support a 1U device.
Despite that, still had a nasty dent across the bottom that doesn't seem to affect functionality much, seems to have occured before shipping. Causes a power supply to be a bit hard to insert/remove.

Knowns:
Chassis + Hardware:
- 1U chassis, 860mm/34" long
- Dual LGA2011-3 sockets supporting Broadwell V4 (didn't test with Haswell v3), boots both with 1 and 2 CPUs installed
- Heatsinks come with unit
- 16 DDR4 DIMM slots, worked with 2133MT/S RDIMMs
- OCP 8-port LSI SAS controller
03:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05)
- OCP dual 10GbE SFP+ Intel X520/82599ES card
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
- Might come with transceivers, mine came with two Intel ones
- Comes with 8 3.5" trays and 2 2.5" trays that slide and lock into place with the green knurled handles shown in listing
BIOS:
- Seems to be a standard, basic AMI bios
- Dated 2016, so might not have been updated for Meltdown and Spectre
- Wasn't able to find options for PCIe bifurcation
- IOMMU groups seem to be good and functioning

PCIe SLOT_0
(far from PSU) works with just one CPU installed- Mine came with a single riser in this slot, works with standard risers / riser cables
PCIe SLOT_1
(near PSU) works only with two CPUs installed- Both slots see to support FHHL cards, and work with 75W Tesla P4
- M.2 slot doesn't seem to work at all (tested w/ 1.92TB and 960GB Samsung PM983, 512GB SM961, 500GB 980, and 256GB Intel 7600p), could be due to shipping damage
- Able to reset IPMI password with ipmitool:
Code:
sudo ipmitool user list 1 # list IPMI users, find one to reset
sudo ipmitool user set password 2 # user 2 has administrator access from output of above
- Uses AST2400 with a basic IPMI interface, and a very terrible Java iKVM that I wasn't able to get working
- Fans: 40mm 21K RPM PWM fans
- Don't seem to be able to unplug fans, causes it to full-speed fans until plugged back in
- Basic noise measurements with my Apple Watch immediately next to intake/exhaust:
- 80dB on power on, very loud
- 55dB on POST (about equal to an ICX6450/ICX7250)
- Haven't tested using a resistor to reduce voltage to fans
- Seems to use standard ATX power—this might be a really cheap way to get a redundant PSU?
- Motherboard has pads for PCIe SSDs, might be floating around on another configuration Hyve Ambient
Some basic measurements using a Kill-A-Wat connected with an extension cord to both PSUs
- RAM is in 2133MT/s 32GB DIMMs
- CPU(s) are E5-2620V4
- Idle—once booted into AlmaLinux 9.2 not running anything
- Full load—stress-ng across all 32/16 threads running for a few minutes to allow fans to increase speed
CPUs | RAM (GiB) | Idle Power (W) | Idle w/ 3 5400RPM 3.5" HDD (W) | Full Load, no HDD (W) |
