Got the 6805 working on server 2022. Install the latest driver for the 6805 and also maxview storage manager. installed ok, drives detected. Reboot the system and get device failed to start error. Found disabling and re-enabling the device in device manager fixed the issue and the drives are...

usb nic out of the question?

yes it will work as you expect. 10G between 10G devices and 1G to the internet

you can make anything fit with an angle grinder

they are good, not too noisy. Correct there is no onboard console, however you only need to run the unifi server when you want to make changes to the switch or log data. It will work perfectly fine without. Otherwise they have an edge version of most switches which has onboard console. Just not...

If I was doing this and I didn't want to spend the $$ on server grade motherboards, I would get a KVM over IP device and if I wanted power and reset control, I would use an hobby grade micro controller board such as the ESP32 or an Arduino UNO with Ethernet, write a program to accept remote...
