Huh. They were sold for about 90 USD+shipping 10 days ago. I hope it's not the STH effect driving prices up.FYI,
Seller rejected offer of $130 and $135

Where to find add-on nic?
Do you have a HP power adapter for this unit? How many watt?
Manual states two variants. One 120W for server. One 180W for server with storage expansion.Do you have a HP power adapter for this unit? How many watt?
What’s the onboard NIC as seen by VSphere? I can’t figure out what it uses. From what I see on the board there is an Altera Cyclone II, which is typically used to lower latency in FPGA controller network setups, but I also know that the Xeon-D 15xx has an embedded X552/557.So vsphere is up and running. All the sensors are reporting from the IPMI and I found out the NICs support SR-IOV so you could pass each through to a different VM. I really hope it does the same with the four port expansion card I'm most definitely going to get now.
Cool little box. I love embedded stuff (also have an asrock epyc 3251) so this is a nice addition to my lab. I just wish HP wasn't such a jerk about firmware updates. I know the box is EoL but I can't even add the serial to my warranties to see if there is a newer version available. However I was able to get ilo4 updated to 2.73.
Also, the guy I got it from says he bought a lot of 500 of these things. He didn't seem very computer savvy but I think he made a good buy.
Oh yeah, it came with a 120W power supply.
Hello fellow clevesburger.Hey. Found this post after finding these on my local craigslist page, these things are literally right down the street from me. Hopefully going to go check them out soon (possibly today) and I'll report back with more details on it.
I'm definitely interested in that weird nic addon card that @Dark is talking about. Could make a nice low footprint hypervisor/router/nas box.
EDIT: Anyone know where you can get the 3.5" bracket?
This might be a more ESXI thing than pass thru issue with the sata ports.@gregsachs mmm sounds good I could really use one of those right about now
Another update. Sadly it seems as that the SATA controller cannot be passed through. It's not listed anywhere on the vsphere hardware management page. However the NVMe controller appears pass through capable, which doesn't really help me figure out a good storage solution for this box whenever I figure out how to get/print some 3.5" caddies
There are four "Xeon Processor D Family QuickData Technology Register DMA Channel" devices available. Not quite sure what's up with those.
What idle watts are you pulling on it?Hmmm, in that case I may have to consider a different hypervisor.
