Potential Deal: 2 x Dual 2011 nodes @$199, Quanta Openrack

Fyi, the new bios sets the long duration and short duration power limit to 115w. Although the turbo frequency suffers a bit, my overall performance is identical.

The system is considered an F03B motherboard.

I see only F03A and F03C listed in the drop down menu -- did they remove F03B or do you mean one of those?

 

[ArcyneTheFirst]

The FW0C Is the one I used(see earlier in the thread) but inline to make it easier for folks.

The readme for FW0C bios specifically calls out added compatibility with FW0B.

The Fo3C is the model to use. After unzipping the bios file the readme text states it works with the Fo3B motherboard.

Ok I have been watching you guys have all the fun... Finally pulled the trigger on the Quanta.

 

[smithse79]

I've been running a quanta for almost 2 months now. Only one node but I'm very pleased with it. I'll probably light up the other node this weekend

 

[grfxlab]

I have booted from both USB ports. Go to USB settings in BIOS and set both ports to Enable. One of them is set to Auto detect by default that may be the cause.

Agreed. Default for the quanta with original bios set usb1 to enabled and usb2 to disabled. After flahing bios option for setting each independantly was removed but the new default was enabled. Also check for legacy support.

Does anyone know if the Quanta version from esionic comes with heatsinks and plastic shroud?

Their pic does not show the heatsinks. But someone on here bought one from them..

Please let me know

@Awesomesauce I bought a Quanta from esionic. Yes, mine did come with heat sinks and the plastic shroud.

NorCalm is local to the seller. Originally the SV7210 was listed as $229 + $49/$59 shipping. He offered to buy 2 at $199 and seller accepted. And he went to pick them up. That's awesome deal for him.

Does pxe work with the 10gbe sfp card comes with this server?

I actually never used pxe with 10gbe sfp card before. Any info is welcome

I have a quanta with the 10Gb Mezzanine card. The computer definitely wants to PXE to the 10Gb. I'm not even sure that it will PXE the 1GB link.

Could someone help please - what is P/N of the Quanta's Windmill midplane power distribution board?

 

[aquarapid]

I have a Quanta one; midplane power board is P/N: DAF03TH16D0 (Rev D).

Mine came without disk trays. Does anyone have part numbers for them (or an alternative that can be used instead)?

 

[aquarapid]

While on the subject; mine are ex-risers; does anyone have the part numbers/replacements for those? Also, mine came WITHOUT the BIOS battery backup coin cells. I'm assuming they are just CR2032 cells, can someone confirm?
