Cannot you just "slide them in" to something like a Supermicro 01-sc81362-xx00c002 Bracket ?

might be using wrong ram reason why no display output problems is we only have two sticks available at the moment what is the best ram for this motherboard
kinda annoying motherboard not telling us anything

Didn't you say it was inner Rail just before ? I'm getting confused like this ...
But to be honest, if you have half the Load supported in the Front and half in the Back, it shouldn't be that Bad. It's a 1U server without a bunch of 3.5'' HDDs ...
Looks like @Tugm4470 has the same server available at 890$ now.
Same U.2->M.2 boards in front, same pcie/nic setup and same 8 memory blanks left sitting in it.

What about the Supermicro bracket that I suggested and either a thin U-Profile / Flat Bar and a couple extra holes in the Chassis,so basically you'll slide it in that Supermicro Bracket and let it support 30-40% of the Weight ?
I struggle to see the Problem 100% without having the Unit here.
Probably memory config. we've seen the same thing. Something it's as simple as trying a few times (take server off power in between tries). Then, when you get to BIOS, disable memory overclocking.
With overclocking enabled we've seen what you're seeing, but also random missing memory channels. Our 2400 MT DIMM's were shown as 3200 in BIOS, with a few channels missing.
All issues were resolved by disabling memory overclocking.
finally got post on the thing and installed proxmox it had windows on one of the nvmes for some reason the fans calm down when it was on windows but now on proxmox it get 100% with no way to control it
depends on workload, but for lots of what I do, 2400 works fine with a minimal hit vs 3200
Does anybody know where to get the plastic m.2 standoff's to install the m.2's on the back side, on the mainboard?
Has anyone here had Pitney Bowes/eBay Global Shipping Program (GSP) lose your shipment?
There haven't been any tracking updates in 2 weeks since it left the GSP warehouse in the UK. The last location is an exit scan in CITY, STATE. I've opened an Item Not Received case with eBay but I'd much rather have what I ordered than a refund.

4 Results on eBay (Brand is Chembro, NOT Kingslide though), all in Europe (France). Am I missing something ?
This one is from Kingslide, but slightly different Part Number, although only 1 Offer on eBay (US this Time): 3561-660EPZZ0GM.
Are you sure the Part Number you gave is correct ?
Either Way, very low Availability to Purchase in Quantity at reasonable Price (US offer is already much better though).
Ive had a few shipments lost in the handover between companies at the airport as it enters Norway.
After 2-3 weeks without updates on tracking ive made a case with ebay, they do not seem to have any way of actually following up on it tho.
Everytime they have just refunded the lost packages.
As Pitney owns the shipment none of the freighters/couriers they were showing as stuck with would provide any assistance to me directly.
Out of the maybe 10 lost shipments almost all of them have eventualy arrived tho, as some free gifts i suppose.
After prepping first 2 the rest of the stack was fairly quick.
- Specced with ram/ssd, set header to reset cmos
- Let it cycle through 2 fan tests, move header back
- Starts fine, enter cmos and enable rear usb along with memory clocking from enabled to auto
- Liveboot ubuntu, set new bmc password.
- Rebooted and confirmed bmc password works okay, moved into test rack.
KVM worked on the first 2, a bit sluggish to move terminal window in ubuntu but works. (have not tested KVM on the other ones)

Do you have any adblockers etc installed and running? I've had similar symptoms on Dell iDRACs and found f.e. noscript was blocking it.
What about the 2nd Part Number which is slightly different, would that also Fit you believe ?
Quantity Wise there are more Pieces at half Price, even though it's still only 1 Seller on eBay only ...
Or do you maybe have other Part Numbers ?
Not sure if King Slide is really a Thing here in Europe. Norco IIRC basically disappeared. Chembro at least you still hear about them somewhat.
Just an idea, concerning the KVM issues:
Newer BMC solutions often have the option to choose whether KVM should be running via Java, or via HTML5. And depending on the Java versions, this often gets blocked by default, for security reasons. HTML5 is much more compatible in that regard. So maye - just guessing here - look for a setting like that.

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:
With these machines? It was a bargain buy, but they're somewhat flaky when it comes to booting up. Just did a reboot this afternoon, machine never came back online. Was stuck, no monitor output, fans at full speed, very loud. Had to poweroff/poweron to make it boot again. Not the first time.
But all in all.. for a lab, lovely deal.

Thanks for the Clarification
. I'll check later when I come back from Work (just starting).Sounds in general good! Actually they have some more pieces available, so im thinking of buying one for my lab.
You of all People are wondering about that ? Aren't you regularly receiving Pallets full of Servers anyways
?I was lurking in this thread for a while after finding the BargainHardware listing on eBay. I bought one immediately after receiving the email from eBay. I wanted to buy more, but I was limited to a single purchase (it showed an error like "1 unit per each 10 days"). I made an offer of 149 GBP for one unit and added a note about the issue. An hour later, I managed to make another offer. I offered 100 GBP per unit for the remaining 6. In total¹, it came to almost 900 GBP including shipping and taxes.All 6 gone already
Now, I'm looking for DDR4 LRDIMM, but the cheapest 512GB kit (8x64GB) I’ve found is around 600 EUR. The "sweet spot" seems to be 16GB RDIMM, but using 16x16GB lowers the speed and is limited to 256GB. Anyone knows where to get cheaper LRDIMM?
The main question is: why are they selling it so cheap? What’s the catch? As far as I know, the downsides are:
- Only 4x (or 3x?) NVMe slots
- No PCIe slot (needs a adapter)
- No PCie bifurcation (we can't add another 8x NVME)
- No BIOS/Firmware update
- Not from Dell, HP, or another known brand
- IPMI seems quite basic and not fully "plug and play"
- High noise (that is expected from 1U, not exactly true)
- CPU is 'fused/locked' to the motherboard (maybe we can't change the CPU too?!)
- No rails (previous posts seem to have found a compatible one).
EDIT:
¹ "In total" means the total of 7 servers (1 server in one purchase + 6 servers in another one).

My impression is that they dump prices below market if its anything but their core hpe/dell models.
That they seem to really want it just gone asap when they buy pallets of other stuff.
They get unusual models compared to what they tend to grind through normally maybe once a month or so, but this is first epyc ive seen.
Bargainhardware has taken in 3 batches of these, first 2 was 600£ when starting to configure it if i dont remember wrong and the last one was 380£+vat.
They are sold out again on the third batch.
I'm surprised you see any Details at all.
Granted my Package is probably still at eBay International UK Hub handled by Pitney Bowes, but all I see on my Tracking is:
It's quite common that it gets stuck there for a Week or so (it has already been 7 Days).
I guess they don't have many Deliveries to Denmark ...
Usually I receive the Stuff I ordered after 2-3 Weeks, so it will take a while for me until I get it
.I'll probably just receive a Notification later with the different Tracking Numbers.
Usually they pack stuff very well, so if they put 2 Servers per Package, it's going to be 4U or more in Height (for 2U Equipment).
If it's 1 Server per Package, I'd expect 3U or more in Height. At least, I hope that they still pack stuff very well
.Since I did 2 Orders of 4 Pieces each, it could be they managed to squeeze 4 Servers in one Package, so that would be 6U and I guess around 60 kg ? Probably too heavy for most Pakkeshops. I think my Local Pakkeshop can only accept up to 30kg Items.
Yesterday I received a "Package" with a Computer Chassis from a Private Danish Seller at my Package shop wrapped in Christmas Present Paper and 2 thin Layers of Bubblewrap. Needless to say that all Plastic holding the Front Door to the Steel Body broke into tiny little Pieces, rendering the entire Thing unusable. This is what makes me Angry ... People packing Stuff like **** and me having to waste Hours upon Hours to fix Stuff
.That being said, for this Server, I'm a bit worried about all those Incompatibilities and Issues that People reported though, either unable to use IPMI to Access the Server, Server not booting / RAM Incompatibility, etc.
It's a Dual Xeon Gold 6138, not a single. It still worse... But, that is the point: Older Xeon + DELL = same price of HVYE EPYC server.Apples and Oranges ? 40% of the Performance (60% lower Score) than EPYC at the same Price just for the Brand
