Yeah I also have lots of Packages still to be opened (NOT 8 whole Servers though).

But these Rails were a really BAD Surprise :rolleyes: .

There are often some strange breakpoints on the global shipping, like 20-30 increases upto a 100-120 jump and back to 20-30 increases as you add units.
I often split orders in 3/3/3 or 4/4/4 to reduce the unit price significantly compared to all as one.

it looks like they have not gone light on the weight like last time, that its single unit packing rather than 2 per box.

It's basically linear shipping above 2 Units (EDIT 3: at around 65 GBP / Unit, whereas a single Unit was 30 GBP Shipping).

They also declined offers at 100 GBP and 120 GBP and countered at 150 GBP after my last Offer.

That's almost double what I paid last Time though (this Time would be around 223 EUR shipped) :rolleyes: .

EDIT 1: Message from Seller was

We are getting GBP 150 + per machine for these and do not want to go any lower
EDIT 2: current situation kinda sucks, but I just accepted their Offer, since realistically there aren't many good Deals anyways right now

Or if he can stick a LiveUSB in the USB Port (Internally, via Header Adapter, since apparently the Rear USB Ports are either disabled or don't work) just boot that with a Cable plugged in the NIC (preferably both a RJ45 and a SFP+, never know about Driver Support :) ) and let it aquire an IP Address via DHCP.

Go to your DHCP Server and look at the Leases. SSH into it, then reset the Password like I explained before:
Hi from Australia. Just got my hands on one of these over on my side of the pond.
I had the issue with the rear USB's not working as well. Cracked the lid, stuck the usb keyboard dongle in the internal usb, which let me get into the BIOS.
Once in the BIOS, went to the AMD CBS -> FCH Common Options -> USB Configuration Options
Here I set both XHCI controllers to Auto.
Rear USB's now work.
FYI, there is also another USB3 header on the motherboard. Potentially you could buy a case cable and plumb them to the front - a project for another day.

BMC ip setup - once you are in the BIOS, head over to Server Management, scroll down to BMC Network Configuration.
In here you can set whether the BMC gets an ip from DHCP, or if it's a static ip, etc.

If the rear network ports aren't working for you, in the BIOS, head to Advanced, and then go into the MAC:xxxxxxxxxxxx-IPv4 Network Configuration, change it to configured, then set your static IP or set it as DHCP.
Do this for each of the 4 network ports.

I still haven't been able to access the OpenBMC webGUI .... yet, as the defaults have been changed. Any brainiac's care to shed some light on how to reset is with PyIPMI (I have installed it on the Win11 laptop I use for managing the homelab).

Edit 1: Yep, if you put a usb3 case cable in that spare usb3 header on the mobo, then you get another 2 usb ports!
Edit 2: Using the Ubuntu installer in trial mode, I managed to install ipmitool and openipmi, after apt update && apt upgrade of course. Once that was done, sudo ipmitool user password 1 (for the admin account) and set a decent & long password - otherwise it errors out. And now I'm in the BMC! yay!

Hi, has anyone measured the idle power consumption of these?
Just with "proxmox" installed (no VM running): My units idles at 85W to 121W.
The lower one has less RAM (6x 32GB) and 4x Chinese-Grade M2 SSD (two with one 3d-printed adapter from 2280 to 22110; two directly attached to the motherboard).
The higher one has more RAM (8x 64GB) and 4x U.3 SSD (Micron 7450) and 2x Chinese-Grade M2 SSD (directly to the motherboard).

All of them are connected with 2x SFP28 DAC + 1x RJ45.

Would anyone be selling the hyve m.2 adapter cards. I'm chasing a 4th and a spare (so 2 of them) for use in my one lonely server.

I'm also not having much luck sourcing risers. I'm contemplating trying another 8 x m.2 drives on pcie cards to just see how the system goes.
