Since a number of us just purchased these I wanted to start a thread. The ASUS Z10PH-D16 is the motherboard in each of the four RS720Q-E8-RS8-P nodes. Feel free to share notes/ information here.
My notes
Power Supply - these are Compuware 2kW 80Plus Titanium PSUs. They appear to be compatible with the Supermicro/ Ablecom parts. Compuware - Ablecom - Supermicro are related parties.
M.2 - This is a 2242 m.2 slot that can be either SATA or PCIe (using CPU2.) My plan is to use 16GB Kingston drives (e.g. lot of 10 x 16 GB Kingston M.2 NGFF SSD, SAME DAY SHIPPING. | eBay ) in the m.2 slot for OS boot. These drives arrived and are the correct size NGFF 2242
There is an internal USB type-A header but you will need to use something small like a SanDisk Fit
. Very tight clearances.
I do not see AUX power connectors for CPUs on these boards.
Heatsinks were included as were rails. Heatsinks are 2011-3 narrow ILM.
