    MS-01: Can't get near to max. NMVe IO throughput

    Minisforum MS-01 PCIe Card and RAM Compatibility Thread

    I do have 5 MS01, so I feel like I can help here. When you say "connect them together", I'm assuming you mean connect all 10 of the SFP+ 10g ethernets to a switch, just as if they were regular ethernets. This one is easy, get a low cost consumer grade switch with at least 10 ports. You...

    I too measure my uptime in years. My previous Proxmox cluster never crashed, not a single node, not once for any reason. My previous cluster nodes are old 2U Xeon boxes, cheap, loud, power hungy and hot but stable as can be. In fact, the MS01 crashes have been the first I've seen on Proxmox...

    Minisforum MS-01 PCIe Card and RAM Compatibility Thread

    Unfortunately, the precise time that remote management would be most useful is when the system crashes. We've all learned that when the system gets wedged, vPro management gets wedged along with it. Only cure is to physically pull the power cord and reinsert. After struggling many weeks with...

    Minisforum MS-01 PCIe Card and RAM Compatibility Thread

    There's a thread here on the forum all about MS01 vPro management. Short answer is the 2.5g lan port, next to the 10g sfp+ is the vPro port. The ip can be dedicated or shared with the host OS. I opted to use dedicated IPs for vPro management, separate from the Proxmox IP address. To setup the...

    That's disappointing. I was looking forward to this experiment.

    Getting vPro remote KVM working on Minisforum MS-01

    I tried a few different variants with no success. The version I'm using is the docker container "brytonsalisbury/meshcmd:amd64". I do have a Mac, but I've not tried getting any of the Mac variants working.

    I have this same card too, although I got mine off Amazon. The system I originally bought it for DOES support bifurcation, but I wanted a card that would work in just about any system. In my testing, it worked well, was plenty fast and I was pleased with it. I also had to snap mine to fit it...

    Getting vPro remote KVM working on Minisforum MS-01

    I've updated all the MS01 to the v1.22 bios firmware. I've not changed the MEBx firmware at all. The https to port 16993 does what I need and MeshCommander (running on a separate system) gives me remote KVM and serial terminal over LAN, so I've not had a reason to change the MEBx firmware.

    So I have 17 tesla p4's.

    I have a handful of these P4 cards too. I did try some training on them but the limited vRAM made it really not worthwhile. I use them only for PCIe passthrough to VMs now, when I use them at all. I rendered some Blender frames on them, transcoded a few dozen video files too, but they mostly...

    Getting vPro remote KVM working on Minisforum MS-01

    This is most certainly going to need to be solved in the MEBx setup. I had a heck of a time getting the remote management working reliably. My conclusion, it's extremely finicky and options that you think should work, don't. I much prefer a real management controller, but that's not an option...

    Getting vPro remote KVM working on Minisforum MS-01

    There's no additional hardware used. The "serial port" is virtual. Once "Serial-over-LAN" is enabled in the bios, the host OS will see a serial port at /dev/ttyS4 - at least that's what it does on linux or Proxmox. You can then use the SOL terminal in MeshCommander or whatever you use. As...

    $250: Intel NUC 9 Pro Compute Element - NUC9VXQNB

    Specs say a card up to 8in long will fit. I have one of my eGPU connected now but plan to do the MSI 4060ti 16gb. It was the cheapest 16gb GPU I could. find that looks like it will fit.

    $250: Intel NUC 9 Pro Compute Element - NUC9VXQNB

    Maybe I'm not the best at finding deals. I've seen some of those Seeed boxes, they look nice. I've never seen one boxed up like new for $326. The ThinkCentre P330 seems quite a bit bigger than this box too. Matter of fact, for $326 I didn't find any systems this small with 2 full height PCIe...

    Yes, many have. I have the model with the i9-13900H processor and haven't seen any problems with the 2x48GB Crucial memory No The size of the MS01 is unique to the MS01. Only way to mount it in a NAS case is to use a big one and put the entire MS01, as-is, inside the NAS. Probably not an...

    $250: Intel NUC 9 Pro Compute Element - NUC9VXQNB

    I realized after I posted this, that the two nics are 1gb not 2.5gb. Not mad about it though. Still a great value for $326. I'm currently debating which parts from the parts bin will go into the two empty PCIe slots. I currently have the GPU sitting outside the box, Thunderbolt connected. I...
