Yeah, I noticed that the barebones version doesn't have the hard drive tray like the others.

Those standoff things will make mounting any rails other that what it's designed for a pain in the ass. I wonder if they can be removed and holes drilled and tapped for universal rails.I'm also looking for this. I just sent a message to esiso to see if they know or have compatible rails for sale and possibly the bracket for the harddrive aswell.
Here's a pic of the side with a measuring tape to show size.
Definitely a screamer. At idle it's not terrible, but glad I'll be moving this one to our data center eventually.
My chassis has the IPMI reporting 0rpms for the PSU fan and some wierd CPU alerts that esxi keeps screaming about. CPU temps and the rest of the fan speeds look correct.
So anyway to remove some of the items which are reported upwards to esxi hardware health?

I have a dual e5-2660 system on a supermicro board with 8 sticks of ram and a single SSD. It idles at just around 100 watts. These might be a bit lower since they're really bare motherboards.
Thank you. My HP DL380P G8 idles at 170 watts with dual E5-2670's, 8 sticks of ram RAM and an SSD as well. And that's with the low power mode set in bios. So I'm looking at options to get that power consumption down.
Don't have this motherboard, but...
With a Tyan S7067 (with onboard LSI 2308, single Broadcom 10gb NIC), 2x e5-2650 v2 CPUs, 8x8GB DDR3 1600 RAM, 4x 80mmx38mm fans (fan control set to auto), no disks, just a USB drive, with ESXI on it, idles at ~86w. This is with a 460w platinum power supply.

The fans would be too far from the heatink on an ATX sized board, and I don't see a way to reposition the fans.
Is anyone else running esxi on one of these and getting Fan Device 8 PS1 FAN1 alerts and Processor 0 Pattern1-4 Alerts
It's a supermicro board so the update shouldn't be difficult .You just use a dos USB stick with a few files dropped on it.
I've updated SM boards in the past so not concerned on how difficult, just whether some else who had bought one of these custom (and they are custom) boards have upgraded the BIOS with the stock BIOS updates for meltdown/spectre.
I don't think it's anything special. The board is listed on the supermicro site with a new bios version as of September this year.
If the works X9DRD-LF bios update works then see the changelog: https://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/getfile.php?SoftwareItemID=6458&&type=releasenote
