I was going to add to this. A lot of Synology ( I think 916 and 918 series are the ones with the issues) I'm not sure if that applies to this board but definitely check. I did find an atom based supermicro 1U headunit server I had lying around, it was bricked. Just a cautionary.

(pc3, ddr3) (laptop, so-dimm, sodimm) 16gb -(8gb, 4gb, 2gb, 1gb, gbx, gx, 2x, 4x, 8x, kit)
Mine just arrived. Cute little booger. The SSD on top gives an idea of it's size. It came with a brand new SMSUNG Pm 883 240GB SSD.
Got mine in yesterday. I'm quite impressed with all the features in the bios. It even has options for ISCSI boot which I'll play with later.
Adding in the memory was kind of a pain. There's a thermal pad that gets stuck on the top cover which acts as the CPU heatsink that overlaps with the area where the memory is located.
Ended up having to VERY carefully remove the pad to put it on the cpu prior to installing the memory. Adding the included SSD was simple.
Currently testing with Windows 10 Enterprise IOT and 4gb of ram.

Yea, I went thru the same thing. Had to scratch my head a bit to figure it out. Wasn't thinking too well last night.
I just received 4 that i recently purchased and confirmed these are SREK6 (F1) Stepping which i believe is the stepping that corrected the issue with B1 Stepping CPU.
I've been using one as a 1080p media player for a while now without issue and has been decoding 4k Blu-ray and YouTube content just fine.
h264 10bit content is not fully accelerated, but it barely handled one of the most demanding clips I have without dropping a frame reaching almost 100% CPU utilization. For my own use case, if it can handle that clip, it'll handle pretty much any content I consume for now.
Light browsing with acceptable performance and 8/16-bit console emulation without issue.
10 watts on idle and 16 watts at full load, averaging 12 watts while watching a 1080p Blu-ray.
Compare that to the close to 300 watts of my dual Xeon v4 rig I use as a gaming rig lol!
It does get a little toasty, but that's expected for a passively cooled device.
Biggest issue will be the lack of official windows 11 support. But not too worried about it since I'll be loading it with W10 IOT Enterprise.
Now on to some pfsense testing on the other one...

Mine bounces between 10 and 15 watts with the included 240GB SSD and 8GB of ram.
Anyone know if it exposes 1 or 2 PCIE on the 2230 lane?
