Yeah, I think that one would work. The cards are the same between the 1U and 2U (and other models like the D51PC), but all the brackets are different. I was going to pull the card and bracket from my 1U until I saw the part listings in the FRU Part List in the download section (QuantaGrid D51B | 2U Rackmount Server | QCT.io)

thanks! that helps... but looks like the parts are hard to find... hmm.... might have to fabricate something... can you show me a picture of what the bracket looks like?
I only have the 1U version which doesn't fit in the 2U unit - the connector doesn't line up when attempting to mount the bracket in the half height slot. I've attached some pictures.
Yeah, I think it is. The connector is pretty shallow and I'm not sure it would support the weight of the card. You might be able to use some nylon standoffs to hold up the other end but it limits the use of the two PCIe slots below the SAS mezz card.

Thanks for the pics and info. Now I just need to convince myself that I don't need it 
More often than not, when I ponder something like this it gets bought out by those who don't. This can be either good or bad depending how you look at it.Thanks for the pics and info. Now I just need to convince myself that I don't need it
I picture a cat with a serious face, smoking a cigar, saying these words in all seriousness ... and it just makes me giggle a bit.
i agree, and ordered one. but i've been searching for that bracket to hold the SAS3008 card with little luck. parts for these seem harder to come by than the more common brands of servers (Dell, HP, IBM)...
If all else fails you can always go the PCI-E route for SAS controller and others
Since they have plenty in stock I am going to wait until next quarter ebay bux shows up and I will get at least 1.
No, I won't chicken out and use a PCIe slot. I'll fabricate something... shouldn't be hard... Some sheet metal bends, drilling holes, and standoffs should be able to make something work. Maybe combine with a LSI PCI bracket... I need to see the real thing first to see how it is supposed to attach.If all else fails you can always go the PCI-E route for SAS controller and others

The default is admin/admin, but that didn't work until I flashed the BMC to the latest version. The password reset jumper (J11) didn't have any effect, so that must just control the BIOS password.
The Quanta site has everything. Use the drop-down to select "BMC".

And the following link is Quanta's submission to the Open Compute Project for this server. It is way more technical (and useful) than the user guide on their site.

This looks like a decent deal too.

Seller countered my lowball offer at $225, I guess this is the lowest it can get for me. I am still not sure whether I want to buy this although it is a great deal, I just have no use for it and I just bought this one: CTO 1U Supermicro Server 6x 10GBE RJ45 X10SLH-LN6TF LGA 1150 H3 X10SLH-N6-ST031 | eBay
