Is this one of the vulnerable CPUs? I thought that was the C2000 series, this has an E3940.

According to bsmith above, the issue was corrected with the stepping of these.
How did you check? Mine just shows stepping '10' in /proc/cpuinfo
Also, does anyone know what the exact type of DC plug it uses is? I want to make a PoE splitter for it.

For anyone else wondering about the clock degradation bug, support told me that this model is unaffected by it.
When I was poking around in mine, I noticed that it comes with the pair of Wi-Fi antennae from the E50-9AP-Wifi version. Haven't bought a card yet since I still need to confirm which type of connectors they use.
Oh, that works too. That confirms mine is the fixed version.
Ok, I have one of these just getting around to setting it up. Silly question, I got it open to add ram, but I can only access the sata port once taking off the lid with 4 screws. The manual has a nice picture of where the ram slot is located, just no instructions that I see for how to access it.
Do I have to pop off the heatsink side somehow to get to the ram slot? I don't see any obvious screws on that side.

It's been awhile but I think the screws to remove the bottom are under the top cover.
Just like to add that mine has been running OPNSense 24/7 since I got it with the first problem.
Curious how these are treating anyone that grabbed? What are y’all using them for?
new here but been having lots of fun scouring the bay for industrial/fanless stuff of the like

So far, all is good here. I bought two of them, using one as a PfSense firewall and the other as a 1080p media box.
I regret not buying a few more of these at $75. I'm using one for home automation (openHAB) and the other as a media box connected to a TV. Seems fine for 4k video via VLC, but YT videos are realistically limited to 1080p or they'll stutter.
Try using the h264ify plugin and see if it helps with 4k YT videos. It forces YT to use h264 instead of VP9
The issue is that the onboard video decoder can't do VP9 hardware decoding. Blueray and h264 4k content seems to be fine.
Just stumbled on it again. Not as cheap as last time but still a deal. It's a rock. Mine has been running OPNSense 24/7 since I got it. Just ordered another to use as a backup. $110 with free shipping.

There is another listing up now for $125 (with discounts for multiples) from who I believe to be the same seller that cancelled your previous order? SUPERMICRO SYS-E50-9AP-02-SC066 MODEL E50-40 | eBaySeller just canceled my order. said there was an error in the listing so scratch the above.
I'm not sure if it's worth it at that price compared to everything else that is currently out there but maybe for someone who needs a low power fanless unit from a reputable brand?
edit: this one has 2 ports instead of 5 ports as pointed out later in the comments, it is a slightly different model.

Just bought a couple of Shuttle Shuttle XPC Slim DH370s which have 2 builtin Intel NICs so I'm out of the market at present. I did buy a SM E50-40 from a different seller previously and am using it as a OPNSense box. It's been flawless running 24/7. Even survived 2 days without AC due to an ill timed failure. And for the record I also have a Moderro signage PC that's also fanless and also runs 24/7. It's used as a storage server for my Blue Iris system. It too has been flawless.
