The chassis you have is designed for a Micro-ATX motherboard (see the dimensions here). You would need to use a PCIe riser card to adapt to the full height, horizontal, PCIe slots. I can't be certain based on the pictures, but the PSU is likely a FlexATX form factor.
What form factor...
The web GUI does not work unless you create a user with level 15 access.
From the CLI:
- enable
- config t
- username admin privilege 15 secret password (replace "admin" and "password" with your own)
- ip http server (this enables the service)
- ip http authentication local
Then try logging in...
Ok, try this:
1) Unplug the power and plug it back in
2) As soon as the SYST LED starts blinking, press and hold the [Mode] button
3) You will eventually see the following scroll across your terminal:
Using driver version 1 for media type 1
Base ethernet MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Xmodem...
Yes, either card should work fine.
5 GT/s translates to about 4 Gbit/s for each lane. So the theoretical maximum is 32 Gbit/s for 8 lanes with the 8b/10b encoding scheme used by PCIe v2.
Are you looking for a wall wart style? If so, IPCamPower makes two.
IPCP-MINIINJECTOR (15W 802.3af) ~$10
IPCP-MINIINJECTOR-AT (30W 802.3at) ~$15
I wouldn't recommend them for permanent installations, but they should be fine for testing purposes.
They are definitely loud. Not bad once they've booted though (51 dB at 3 feet).
The power draw can be surprisingly good. The SX6012 on my test bench is 30W at idle and 44W while booting. I spun the fans all the way up and it measured 55W. Each DAC adds between 0.5-1.0W.
* Bear in mind...
I'm not sure about 9.2, but 9.3 and newer are definitely limited. I'd recommend against messing with 9.2 for production use as it lacks support for newer encryption protocols.
I never understood why Cisco felt the need to overprice their virtual ASAs. You can buy an ASA 5506-X for $600-800...
