Hello! I have three Supermicro AOC-S3916L-H16IR-32DD cards. These are essentially Supermicro branded 9560-16i cards. They are pulls from brand new servers, and have never been powered on other than for the burn-in testing the vendor did.
I have low-profile brackets as well, but only for two...
With one exception; sometimes mesh routers include a dedicated radio for the 'backhaul' connection.
When my powerline networking sucked, I bit the bullet and bought a 2-node mesh WiFi system that is tri-band. The 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are used for my client networking, while the 6E 6GHz band is...
Why thank you! My personal and professional life for the last 2 years can sometimes be summed up as "I wonder what else I can get ESXi to run on" so this was right up my alley.
There are two unknown devices in device manager, both referring to Intel's ME, which I couldn't give two craps about. I did not even attempt to install drivers; perhaps they would have worked fine.
As for stability, this is a system we do not allow to reboot very often due to its role. It's got...
It depends really. As of this generation, I do not feel like either vendor is particularly well serving the 'small server/upsized workstation' market.
Previously Intel had the Xeon E/W series, chips like the W-1290P, which was basically the same as the Core i series but with official ECC...
I would have to go back into the BIOS on my system running the X13, which I may not be able to do for a while (it's a fairly important backup server for me). With that said, I do not believe it supports XMP so even if you wanted to do 5200/5600 you would have to do all the timings manually. I'll...
1. It really does run the memory at 4400 MHz.
2. I haven't tried any of the 48 GB DIMMs, but it's perfectly happy with 4x 32GB. My guess would be no to the 32GB DIMMs, but I don't have any of them to test with.
3. I haven't looked myself, but the official Supermicro FAQ says No.
4. The beefiest...
I don't know if Areca warranties transfer. I do have access to the original receipts. Separate from that, I would of course accept a return if they were DOA. I can also test the cards on my end prior to shipping, if someone who pays wants me to do that.
In no particular order:
1. Not everyone likes dealing with eBay.
2. I have four cards, eBay has one.
3. My cards are new, the eBay one is used.
4. I'm identifiable. I am on staff at STH. You can know who I am. My name is Will Taillac, not pretzel729.
5. If you buy through me, you'll either do...
As the title says, I have 4x Areca ARC-1886-16i Tri-mode RAID cards
These are unused; they were purchased for a server that it turns out they don't physically fit in (they are too long). No cables are included; just the card in plastic clamshell with both full height and half height brackets...
Sorry, I looked up 6TB drives on eBay and came up with the $50 based on that. I just tried looking up 10TB drives, and the only $60 10TB drives are parts-only listings. With that said, perhaps I was a bit overpriced, so I'll drop things a bit.
I've upgraded my home array, so my old disks are for sale. I've got 15x 6TB HDDs.
9x of them are Seagate Ironwolf ST6000VN0033 drives, one of which is a RMA return and thus labeled as recertified.
2x of them are Seagate Ironwolf Pro ST6000NE000
4x of them are HGST 0F26900
Their dates of...
Areca ARC-1883i RAID controller. It is sealed in an anti-static bag. I will be honest, at some point I had a bunch of these, some of which were sourced from eBay. I cannot remember if this was one of the eBay ones or not, so I will not claim it is brand new or completely unused, but it is...
I put a 13th gen CPU on an X13SAE-F and can confirm both that it works and that you *have* to have a 12th gen CPU to do the update. No over-the-BMC update.
Yep. That is exactly what I did in fact, mine was an i7-12700F. I believe you're restricted to just the VGA output if you want to plug in a monitor in that scenario; the HDMI and DisplayPort are likely connected to the iGPU in a non-F series CPU. I didn't test that, it's an assumption on my part.
I don't have any first-hand knowledge, but one of my upstream vendors has told me that anything and everything Supermicro is still very tight on supply.
I haven't looked at many other devices to measure the BMC-only power consumption. It is an AST2600 BMC so it is the latest generation. We're also possibly running up against the precision limits of my very basic Kill-a-watt meter (one of these).
No luck thus far. I read some stuff that folks had better luck with Debian and the iGPU passthrough, and I at least made it through the install. But as soon as it booted up properly and (presumably) loaded the iGPU driver, the ESX host hard locked again. I may just put this aside and come back...
