1U Supermicro Server 6x 10GBE RJ45 X10SLH-LN6TF LGA 1150 H3 X10SLH-N6-ST031

I don't want to derail this thread, but this Edge 3800 box seems interesting - is there any information out there on storage options, OOB management, power consumption, noise, etc for this platform?

I have one a few feet away from me with pfSense installed. What do you want to know?

I can create a thread on these detailing all the hardware, but it might take me a few days.

Please do, I'm not in a hurry .

I Looked quickly on eBay and it seems to be > 700 USD so WAY more expensive than I would like.

Right now my Homelab is 10gbe and WAN is barely 1gbe (more like 700mbps-800mbps), so I feel like this is way overkill.

The Supermicro X10SLL-F let alone the Supermicro X11SSL-F / Fujitsu TX1320 M3 coupled with a 10gbps NIC (Intel X710 / Intel XXV710 / Mellanox ConnectX-4 LX) should be able to handle all inter-LAN Routing without Issues. Let alone the WAN.

Fan Noise ?

Sure thing. I still need to play with the IPMI on it a bit. At least it doesn't appear to be locked down in any way.

As for pricing, I have access to them for less than that.

Old Thread but I was wondering, given the high Power Consumption Figures ... Did anybody check to see if ASPM is enabled ?

TLR the board is probably going to be an idle hog no matter what.

I don't have mine anymore, I replaced mine with a cwwk fanless mini pc with 2.5gbe ports. (works great).

Previously, I ran it and I tried enabling "all" the power save features in bios. No i don't recall exactly how they were set because I don't have the board anymore. I never got it under 50W idle even when jumpering the x540 NICs off.

I was using opnsense (freebsd) so no linux kernel patching anyway.

My pet theory is it's the PLX switch that's sucking up the juice, or that even jumpering off the nics doesn't really cut off their power.

edit: ah our fellow eduncan here measured 13w even when powered off, just for the aspeed IPMI:
