Oh this is an issue I'm facing on the Dell Edge 640 box as well. Anything with kernel 6.x is having this issue with link never showing up (Proxmox 8, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 nightly build, VyOS 1.4/1.5 rolling).
The only time it could work is if the DAC cable is directly connected between 2...
@oneplane - can share at least the i2c commands for fan control? trying to see if I can bring it down to a level I'm comfortable with, without having to swap it out for quieter fans
hmm @Brood - this may be the indication why copper 1G and copper 10G transceivers can't work on the built-in X553 ports on Atom C3000 series:

Just sent you the file, @oneplane .
Do tell me more about what can be configured on the PIC via i2c.
Btw, are the fans any good throttled down, or might as well replace them with quieter fans?
I've entertained the idea of having a GPON (or rather XGS-PON in my potential 10Gbps fiber broadband) - how does one go about bypassing the ONT and getting the necessary credentials (or settings?) to link up with the ISP?
Oh damn... those buttons sure are mysterious and finicky!
I have 1000BASE-LX and 10GBASE-LR transceivers but no copper modules at all. I was thinking of getting a 10GBASE-T copper SFP+ transceiver from Fiberstore if I do sign up for 10Gbps fiber broadband for home in the coming months.
@Brood - What OS are you running on your Edge 640?
I'm testing vyos and ESXi 8.0U2 on it. My first unit I did the ufw 2.4 BIOS/CPLD/PIC updates and naturally the watchdog no longer triggers reboot. On my second unit, without BIOS/CPLD/PIC updates and the watchdog causes reboot but after I...
Recently got my hands on a few units of the Dell Edge 640, they all seem brand new unused in box.
Downloaded the DiagOS installer, installed, and even ran ufw 2.4 and the SSD firmware update.
So updated to:
BIOS image version: 3.50.0.9-19
CPLD image version: 0x29
PIC image version: v20P
I...

Clearing out my equipment recently taken out from datacenter colocation:

If anyone with spare SX6036/SX1036 switches (PSU to connector airflow, blue label) and/or the MSX60-SKIT rackmount kits, let me know. I'm in the market for 2-3 units.
Received my 4 cards - quickly put 2 to test on ESXi - had to install the vmklinux driver from vmware site as there's no native driver support for this generation. Firmware update on ESXi is not an option either for this generation.
The cards came with fairly old firmware, and the Solarflare...
So I bought these on a whim because:
1) my Intel X710 is not playing nice with the DAC cables and in ESXi there's no option to turn on unsupported sfp flag.
2) swapped out for Broadcom BCM57810 but it's been crapping the bed in high usage (like vMotion) in ESXi with both the new native qfle3...
