EU Intel Server 2U, LGA 2011-3, Xeon E5 V3 / V4 C612, DDR4, SAS3, 10Gbe, 26 x 2,5", R2224WTTYS @600€

[michathe]

Found this Listing from Sable?

Seems like a good deal for a 2U LGA 2011 r3 barebone.

Has a LSI 9361-8i equviland. 4 x 10GBe Ports 2 Base-t 2 SFP+ and a 36Port SAS 12GBs Expander.

But Only 12 Caddys.

Had a talk to the seller. Better be quik as they plan to Increse the Price, also they do not accept anny Offers jet not even free shipping:

Hey,

We intended to sell one or two and then increase the price a bit. I currently have 10 of these, two 1u of these and two QuantaGrid D51B-2U, however, these are quite a bit more expensive, which is why i have not listed them yet.

I will wait till next week to accept best offers. I will sell the rails seperately @ 50 euro's per set.

Hey, thanks for linking my listing. But for any buyers from ServeTheHome, if you are looking for a brand new in box server, this is not for you. They have been used for testing and have been moved around a bit. Look at the eBay condition before you buy. These are from EMC so some information is diffrent from the intel website. I believe all information in the listing is correct so let me know if anything needs to be changed.

Also, thanks to Rand_ for helping me gather some information on the servers and included items.

For all users of ServeTheHome i will include a free rials set, so there you go Michathe. (NEW BUYERS: SEND ME A PM FOR THE FREE RAILS)

Perfect move

the only obwious differend that i could see would be the Rack ears. But i will let you guys know when i have receved mine.

Ah those nice boxes again.
Wished I had need for them, those are really packed. And surprisingly silent if one does a soft reset after inital power on
Power utilization in idle is ~100W with a single CPU if anyone wonders (albeit might be slightly higher on those, measured mine w/o HBA irrc)

 

[SIlviu]

Just bought one, thanks for the info. Hope all is ok and I will receive the free rails.

 

[Dav]

Ordered two for my lab, will report back

ty for the rails

 

[Sable]

4 sold, 4 left, will send these out on either Tuesday or wednesday. Ended the listing but will sell some more coming week. Have a happy New year everyone!

 

[michathe]

I just received my Unit.

I have to say these are preaty nice systems.

• Bios hase a Password but this can easaly be resettet by a Jumper.
• One Handle got bend in shipping. Nothing a hammer can´t fix.
  
• System is very Quiet on the Acustic fan setting.
• The Raid Controller has Keys for R5, R6 and Fast Path activatet.
  
• Consumes, mesured at Memtest with one E5-2620V3 and 2 16GB Sticks of Ram, around 125W. 98W at Bios.
• It seems like these Systems, or at lease mine does, have one NVME Backplane installed for up to 4 drives. So it schould be Possible to install some NVME drives in this system by adding a PCIe to U.2 adapter.

System flashed without issues to the latest Intel firmware.

I did not find enithing different to a normal Intel box yet. (Only the Handels)

 

[Sable]

Damn, i did spend some time trying to ship it as safe as possible! Thanks for the review.

 

[Rand__]

@Sable -can you confirm the ones available are identical to the one @michathe received?
Might have to reconsider with the nvme backplane

hmm cant find any info, for Intel AXX4PX8HDAIC Internal NVMe most like and those ain't cheap

 

[Rand__]

I would hope that the Supermicro nvme adapters like the AOC-SLG3-4E4T are compatible...

 

[michathe]

Yea i would hope that the AOC-SLG3-2E4R from Supermicro would work in this unit.

Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Products | Accessories | Add-on Cards | AOC-SLG3-2E4R

I would hope that the Supermicro nvme adapters like the AOC-SLG3-4E4T are compatible...

Unfortionatly these Servers have no x16 Slots so you would have to by a differend riser.

 

[Rand__]

They don't ? Let me check that.
Edit: Seems u r right. A bunch of the slots (in my similar box) are 16 physical but probably only 8 electrical, never noticed.

But then you still can do two 2E2T's (in x8's) which still would be cheaper than any intel hba I think

And the 2E4R is without PLX chip... would be great if they run (for their cheap price) but not sure. Can you test that?

 

[michathe]

Unfortianatly not since i have no U.2 Drives at hand.

 

[michathe]

Hmm, i have just checkt the bios. It seem´s like the Board will not work with the PLX Chipless Cards and the x8 Riser....

 

[Rand__]

Hm, but then at least the x16 card might work, regardless of Intel or SM... or not :/


Edit: The PLX chip'ed ones will not need Bifurcation in the first place so still might work in a regular slot

 

[michathe]

Hm, i just tried to change the Boot Mode to UEFI witch seems to fail??
System freezed can´t input d or g nothing happens.
I get this massage tried it multiple times anny ideas?

 

[Paladin]

All sold out?

 

[michathe]

Just did a hard Bios Reset and the issue is gone. Weird.
I have also modified the system a bit to get a 12 Bay 3,5" DAS connected
