SuperMicro A1SRI-2558F Mini-ITX Motherboard $110 + ship

[T_Minus]

I should also note that 1 of the CMOS batteries was dead too.

I'm wondering if that could be why 1 boots and 1 does not, anyone know how picky SM boards are for CMOS battery being full?

No Bios post screen on my board neither.

Just dropped it off to send it to RMA today.

You guys are leaving the seller at least neutral feedback im assuming?

 

[Marsh]

After I get my repaired board from SM, test it out for few days, then I'll leave a honest feedback.

"Working pull" my ass.

Hopefully leaving negative feedback, DOA is unacceptable when selling as used and "Working pull" if you have to deal with RMA with the manufacture it should be listed as for parts. Kinda glad I passed on this deal now...

I don't see any negative feedback yet. 6 of 6 were DOA?

 

[mmo]

i will do the same as @Marsh and will leave my honest feedback once receive and test my board back from SM. I hope everyone else who received DOA board do the same as well and don't let this seller get away with this!

 

[Cybertron]

I'm about to submit an RMA as well, but I'm hoping SM doesnt consider this abuse, etc....

SM have one the better RMA support team.
It is only a heatsink , I think you would be fine.

Seller definitely deserves a negative. No way they didn’t know these were defective. Especially every single one of them.

 

[PnoT]

I'm still looking for one of these for a project =)

 

[T_Minus]

No reply to my RMA request yet, how long are you guys waiting to get them?

 

[mmo]

i received my RMA at the same day as i opened a case with my board. probably about within 3-4 hours.

 

[T_Minus]

Well, hoping they were closed due to USA Holiday and will get back to me today

 

[T_Minus]

I got an e-mail yesterday all 3 of my boards qualified for RMA

 

[Cybertron]

Mine is about to be dropped in the mail as well.

I probably should have asked this question before, but I'm wondering if anyone can comment on the idea that this CPU can push a full 1GB WAN using pfsense, or my preference, RouterOS? The Cloud Core routers that can push 1GB w/o an issue have a ton more cores but lower Ghz. Though this might be apples and oranges considering those are TILE cpu's that I've never heard of.
My goal is to have WAN failover, and 2+ zones LAN/Wifi (additional zones via vlans)

Now i'm thinking I should have jumped on that other deal.... A1SAi-2750F-O. Ah well.

 

[mmo]

Just got an email from SM and my board is shipped back to me. have anyone received their board back from SM yet?

 

[eroji]

Got 2 of these freshly back from SM. Now I need ideas on what to do with them... Anyone?

 

[mmo]

I contacted the seller regarding this DOA mess and they will refund my RMA cost. Well, at least is better than nothing.

 

[Cybertron]

I also spoke with the seller and they have admitted that it came to their attention late in the game that these boards were removed from operation because of issue. "You are doing the right thing by sending it to Supermicro" I was told. And I did ask for a $20 refund to cover shipping to SM, and a little extra for my trouble. They refunded without issue. This could be an honest mistake by a recycler. They did make good on it, so I will be leaving positive feedback with some details of the issue, but I dont feel they need to be thrown under the bus per say.
