AFAIR, most of the documentation is available from Server/ProjectOlympus - OpenCompute and the board in question is "Project Olympus AMD EPYC Motherboard" and PDF with documentation is linked from that page. PSU pinout isin section 10.9 12V Power Connector, page 35 (and it should be the same as for Intel boards):
P.S. I've offered them 60 Euro and my offer got accepted. However their payment is weird and my card got rejected as my bank claims they haven't tried 3DS.
Thanks for the thread, bought one too. Maybe too fast though.
They also offer the same board with a chassis and all risers and coolers in 1U here: Microsoft Project Olympus Server Azure Dual CPU SP3 Epyc 7003 Series Quanta T6U | eBay or here on their website Microsoft Project Olympus Server Azure Dual CPU SP3 Epyc 7003 Series Quanta T6U - Piospartslap for 200 euros
Might be a better offer, no?
Subscribing to the Great Deals channel has been a financially unwise decision.

So it appears to be a 50Gbit QSFP28 card which you can buy separately here: Microsoft FPGA 1768 M1040125-001 M1037382-001 M1030299-001 MSIP-REM-MSK-1768 50G Accelerator Card - Piospartslap
Its an FPGA, so i reckon, there won't be any readily available drivers?

There is this github repository for the Microsoft Catapult v3 Smartnic that looks a lot like the one in the server.
However, it has an additional Mellanox chip on it, which appears to be missing on the pioparts offering...

I placed offer for 2 pieces - 156 Euro each. They accepted . Already paid via ebay (using other site is difficult don´t understand DE).
Now what processor to buy 32 cores?
Epyc 7413 model , TDP =180W
72F3 mod. , 7303(P), 7203P, 7313(P), 7413 are all <= 180W TDP

they accepted 150euro as an offer

I tend to agree. The complete system is a much better deal. Wish I had seen it sooner!
They accepted for 1 @ 150 EUR, which isn't bad
Sadly, the eBay listing just went to 299 Euros.
Right now there are some coupons for ebay.de so the price could be taken to 150 E, but not anymore with the price increase.
Similarly the board also increased in price a bit. In hindsight I probably shouldve ordered 3 (1 for "intended" use, 1 to experiment on, 1 spare) but eh, 2 will do. Now just to get CPUs, Ram is already covered thanks to @nihonjin
If someone gets their board before me: maybe try if it boots with Rome?

The 7513 (32c/64th) also looks fine to me. 200W TDP, but cTDP-down of 165W. Maybe that works fine with the board?
Have not had the experience with lowering TDP via BIOS on epyc.
Still expensive at 400€, both on ebay and new via geizhals
My box should arrive that week, have no CPUs yet. So i will probably take a look at the PSUs first, if they can be modified for standard 240V in.
If anyone tests rome with it and I think even more interesting, if the box works with only a single CPU, please post that

if they are ARTESYN PS1000
PS1000 ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
PS1000 Output power: 1000 W total
Output voltage: 12.25 Vdc
Phases: Dual three-phase AC input with input voltage selector (IVS)
Efficiency: >92% at full load
Input voltage: Three-phase 415/400 Vac Wye or 208 Vac Delta or Single-phase 200-240 Vac
Operating temp: 10 °C to 48 °C
Ah, and there is the document in the opencompute wiki:
It seems, there might be a chance, that a battery is included in the power supply?
Probably not, pio partslab would have noted that in the listing no?
"AC input will be either 3 phase 415/400VAC Wye or 208VAC Delta with a single phase going to each
of the three 340W modules."
Should work with single phase then. They designed it for two different three-phase circuits. Cool stuff.
Three power supply modules that feed in on all three phases from both circuits.
It would be awesome to add three C14 sockets. One for each Power supply module.
not realy. 3 phase 400Vac triangle is 230Vac from edge to N, they short 3 phase to one.
but with many systems 3 phase is balanced. you should not connect dozends of blades to only one phase.

8 cells 32V ( note they must not be installed )
but i doubt they are in good condition even if the blade was just laying around.
ah gotcha, i misinterpreted something. thanks for pointing it out!
that makes that thing a bit less interesting for a small, non three phase rack like i have.
And i also think the batteries will be pretty run down. Still interesting to look into that.
I guess, replacing the PSUs might be the best bet then.
Yeah using it as a NIC won’t be possible without a lot of work - these are 3rd gen catapult cards which are designed to offload a a lot of the overhead of virtualized networking and other cloud related things. They are very much not designed to exist outside of azure.There is this github repository for the Microsoft Catapult v3 Smartnic that looks a lot like the one in the server.

The repo does have the mellanox chip noted, but it’s not attached to the qsfp ports directly, the fpga is. So to get that wired up you’d need custom fpga firmware to pass the signals to the mellanox chip most likely.
