Thank you for your Answer
.Yeah, I'm not fully sure what I'll be doing with them besides obviously Proxmox VE and Virtual Machines / LXC containers, Docker/Podman Containers, etc
.I also don't fully understand how higher Memory Frequency always equals better Performance, because if you look at the CAS Latency, these always go up with the memory Frequency ...
Looking at this STH Article it seems it's around 5% ... 10% Performance Drop, although depends with Use:
Given how cheap I could get the 2400 MHz ones I'm not sure it's worth to wait for maybe-some-day-i-get-2666.
Has anybody tried to populate one of these all with RDIMMs by the Way (NOT LRDIMM) ? Do we have a Rank Limitation etc ?
Anyhow by the Looks of it in "Legacy Platform" installing half or all DIMM with Dual-Rank will drop the speed to 2133 MHz
.Using half of all DIMMs Quad-Rank Memory will let the speed go up to 2666 MHz, but that will also drop to 2133 MHz when fully populated
.I guess "Optimized Platform" means "Memory Overclocking" or ? Can it be configured to say 2400 MHz manually or is it an ON-OFF only "Switch", meaning you cannot select the desired Frequency ?
Hi from Australia. Just got my hands on one of these over on my side of the pond.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
Go to your DHCP Server and look at the Leases. SSH into it, then reset the Password like I explained before:
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!

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.

One lost of refused by export Customs in the UK I believe for whatever BS Reason (Fiber Transceiver, subsequent Orders went fine), automatically refunded without even filing a Complaint. NEVER received it of course in my Case.
Another load with 4 left atm - HYV-S-CF-EDGE-G10-04, 1x 100-000000074 EPYC7642 (Read Description) 2xDPS-650AB-1
Not sure if that's Legal but given all the illegal and immoral Stuff Governments do it doesn't really matter
.I have them on Startech universal rails: 1U 19 inch Server Rack Rails - 24-36 inch Adjustable Depth - Universal 4 Post Rack Mount Rails - Ne
Before they fitted in my Startech rack I did had to remove the pins for the original rackrails from the cases of the servers. Which is fairly easily done with a pair of pliers and some force. You can push them out of the case. And now the servers fit nicely!
Does it require a special special to the Motherboard Manufacturer ? Isn't it something generic ?
As usual Aliexpress Search sucks but ... something like this maybe ?
I couldn't find a 22110 one though ...
40pcs of a 1U gen1/2 scalable 12LFF with 1x 6210U installed listed from same seller - Hyve Solutions 12lff + 1sff (SSD Bay) CF-EDGE-COMPUTE, HYVE-2-CF-CORE-G10-03
They would need to accept fairly low offers compared to that price for it to be worth it tho.
Bargain hardware has a different variation starting at 216£, has a pair of sfp+ or sfp28 cages populated on mobo instead of the mezzanine card.

Indeed I checked today and it's some special Insert that seem to be required, probably a plastic Piece that goes in this Way, then you rotate it to "lock" it into place from behind.
I wonder if something like this would also work:
This is apparently used on simple circular Holes not the "special" one used here, so not sure if it will work, if we "clip" it where there is still some material on the PCB:
Alternatively maybe something like this (Snap Lock / Snap Pin / Pegs / etc):

Search for that Category (feel free to expand a bit, I just selected "10 mm" max overall Length to try to filter out those that are WAY too long, there is no Filter for "M2" Thread though, only M3/M4/etc):

How did you finally get it to post ?
I tried plugging & unplugging the AC Power Cable like 5 times, tried several Reboots, etc, never got it to post until now
.Do you need to remove all DIMMs and just try with 1 DIMM instead ?
I currently have 8 x 64GB LRDIMMs installed (2400 MHz), but I guess I could try a single 32GB RDIMM (2666 MHz) to see if that behaves better ...
EDIT 1: it seems that if I unplug AC Cable, Remove CR2032 Battery, Clear CMOS using Jumper J194 (put Jumper between Pin 2-3 for a few Seconds, then back to Pin 1-2, IMPORTANT: count from Right Side and look at the Manual !) then after a few automatic Reboots (I think it was 4 or 5), the Server finally started outputting via VGA
.EDIT 2: as I think previously stated, you need to install a temporary USB3 Internal Header to USB Type A Adapter, as by default the Rear USB3 Ports are disabled. Therefore enable both USB3 Controllers in BIOS.
EDIT 3: Disable Secure Boot, at least temporarily. I couldn't boot from my Ubuntu LiveUSB until I did so. I didn't manage to get my Debian LiveUSB to boot, probably the EFI Layout is not good enough for this HYVE BIOS
.EDIT 4: for my Ears, I find it much better to limit the CPU Frequency to P1 (2.1GHz) instead of P0 (2.3 GHz), using
cpupower frequency-set -u 2.1GHzI also set the Governor to
conservative (default was schedutil):cpupower frequency-set --governor conservativeThe Power Consumption also drops considerably from 240W to around 150W as indicated by
turbostat for PkgWatt.Temperatures are around 80°C doing a Linux Kernel Compile, which is my Stress Test of Choice
.I would say that the Performance hit is quite small at least in this Case.
I don't think the System is doing any Turbo Boost at all to be honest ... At stock 2.3GHz I felt that the System was throttling because the Fans kept going up and down all the Time, but maybe it's just a subjective Feeling based off the Noise
.It's probably also an Option to set a TDP or Rated Power like 200W instead of the default 240W, that could still allow a bit of Boost while reducing the Noise (hopefully) significantly.
EDIT 5: did anybody succeed in fixing the extreme Fan Noise during Boot (first 60 Seconds or so) ?
EDIT 6: did anybody else also have KVM broken (black Display) ?

Mine worked after clearing CMOS and let it reboot 3 or 4 Times.
VGA Output works. However, KVM does NOT.
Are you able to get any Display Output over KVM (IPMI) ? I just get a Black Screen
.Yes, I'm using 2x M.2 (from the motherboard) and 4x U.2 (with the 3D-adapter).
The M.2 gets a bit hotter, because there's barely no airflow. I'm using the M.2 for boot (in RAID-1), both are cheap chinesium 256GB SSD.
I never tested, but I think it will NOT work.
Anyone had difficulty getting the fans to relax a bit? I have 2 of these that just refuse to stop running at max speed, well 3 of the 6 fans run at 25k rpm, the others are around 13k. The other servers run at around 13k under full load so I am at a loss as to what is causing it.
I only struggled with the first one.
But as I said, remote CR2032 Batterym, Clear CMOS with Jumper for like 30 Seconds, move Jumper back to normal Position and start it.
Then I think it was more like 3-4 Times (you say 2) but alright, just let it reboot a few Times, then you will see it Post. Via VGA that is.
I still am stuck with Black Screen on KVM after resetting Password via ipmitool from Ubuntu. I can see e.g. Sensors, System Event Log (empty, not even sure if it works), etc. But the KVM Screen stays Black, it's not even like Supermicro's where you have a few Buttons available etc. It's completely black and there is nothing you can do on it. I tried both Librewold and Chromium Browsers ...
Whether eBay or AliExpress or Temu, everything needs to be promptly inspected. I even count my hardware and measure wire. AliExpress (Choice) has become very reliable except for the occasional item that gets lost during consolidation. I get lots of eBay stuff where they send the wrong item-- often in the expected package. Those were fraudulent store returns.I am getting tired of the bunch of Scammers and Fraudsters on eBay
I had a lot going on and I still do, so I only managed to start assembling the PCIe Risers now, but the supposedly M8036-L16-1F Risers that I bought turned out to be a M7106-R16-1F
Knock on Wood but I had better Experiences on Aliexpress with Chinese Sellers compared to eBay with US Sellers lately
I have uBlock Origin on Librewolf but I don't think on Chromium. I don't think I have NoScript.
Anyway, thanks, I'll check later during the Weekend !
Same feeling here. I feel that reboot doesn't work, whether it's CTRL + ALT + DEL or Linux
reboot Command . Only Solution is to Hard Stop and then Start over again.I guess I'll have these plugged into a PDU and hopefully when I have some Time I can implement via ESPHome some WiFi Control for these PDUso at least I could implement some supervisory "Watchdog" to do a stop & start again
.Other Complain of course being the Fact that the Fans sound like Jet Engines during IPMI Startup and before BIOS/OS
