Supermicro X7SPA-H

CPU Temp @ idle is 45C with a max of 90C.
Keep in mind this is fanless. I'm sure with some airflow it would be pretty close to ambient..

Thanks-
Are you using a pico power supply?
-
No, a 60 watt DC-DC unit came with the case.
Also, tonight I added a small 40mm fan to the one side of the case. It's only rated at 7cfm, but it's for all intents and purposes silent. It's brought the CPU and system temp down quite a bit.

Can this board deal with 500Mbps routing traffic? from one network adapter to other ?

Can this board deal with 500Mbps routing traffic? from one network adapter to other ?
I quite doubt that, even under best case scenario. Somebody with the board go and prove me wrong though.

Been running 2.0 on this board for about 2 weeks now…Not a bad board at all... Only issue I have is that vnstat doesn't see any traffic... Not sure its because i'm using 2.0 or if its hardware issue... Need to try 1.2.3 and see if that works...

It's definitely a sweet little board. ICR9R, good Intel NICs, and I can verify that the PCIe x16 slot works with cards other than video. I have a PCIe x4 Intel PRO/1000 PT dual port card and pfSense sees it. I had to take it out though as I don't have a 90* PCIe adapter yet.
Did you find a PCIe adapter yet?
I'm using this case and need to find a 90 adapter also

OK
I finally got me one of the X7SPA-HF mobo's.
I have benched it with 4GB RAM, and 64GB SSD using a standard 400Watt ATX P/S on the side.
Still hesitating on a PicoPSU for this though.
2amps on the 5V Standby Rail is shows as a peak level for all the PicoPSUs … with the Max at 1.5amps.Has anyone been able to confirm if any PicoPSU can drive the X7SPA series ?
Or does one need to consider something more robust ?I prefer small and quiet but would hate to invest the $$$ into an M350 case and PicoPSU and then find out it does not work.
Any feedback is appreciated ...
-
Mookatroid,
I'm running a picoPSU-150-XT Power Supply with a 80W AC-DC Power Adapter. Going strong now for about 2 weeks. I have to check what its drawing for amps but last time i checked my kill-a-watt it's running around 22watts.
btw, are you planning on running 2.0 or 1.2.3?
-
Ya baby !
That's what I wanted to hear :)Guess I'll be ordering up an M350 + PicoPSU-150-XT very soon :)
Will run 2.0 once it's public versus beta .. I can't afford 2 Supermicro mobo's :P
-
I just downgraded to 1.2.3 last night… A lot of little things aren't ready with 2.0 just yet...vnstat works with 1.2.3 and not 2.0 with this board.. Dont need it yet but I like knowing my bandwidth usage.
I'm really liking this board, just wish it was a PCI slot instead of a PCIe slot. Trying to find a riser card and its a pain right now. I also may change the my case to something else since I can't use the LCD with 1.2.3 and its really buggy with 2.0...
When funds allow, i may get another one because this board to me seems it would be better as a NAS, then a router.. Tons of USB slots and sata slots. BUT, having IPMI makes a plus for a router and you can't go wrong with 2 Intel nics built in
-
Yes !
I almost bought a NAS chassis from Chenbro to put the X7SPA-HF into just in case I changed my mind - router versus NAS.
But for now, I'm going to go with the M350 + PicoPSU … as I already have the M350 VESA mount on the back of my LCD monitor.Re: the IPMI ... one accesses that via HTTP ... so how do you differeniate if you want to access the IPMI GUI versus pfSense ? IPMI does not seem to offer and way to change the TCP management port ...
-

As far as I can remember, the IPMI has its own IP Address that is configured in the BIOS. The LAN port will respond to either the IPMI IP Address or the pfSense configured address on the same physical port.

You are correct. You can manually assigned an IP address that is on the same subnet as the LAN interface from the BIOS. I noticed that downgrading to 1.2.3 from 2.0, the remote keyboard doesnt work. I believe its the HID driver issue that is known with FreeBSD7.2. Works fine with FreeBSD8.0,pfSense 2.0
-
Ah
Right
"SHARED" between LAN1/IPMI … just like HP's iLO on their servers ...
GotchaBrain fart
-
I'm contemplating the Supermicro X7SPA-HF as well.
But I'm in great doubt whether my WAN/LAN/WLAN setup (cable 90Mbps/1Gbps/Wifi-N)
including PFsense config (snort, squid, openvpn) will serve me well with this Atom chipset.Could any of you with an Atom D510 chipset post more information about your PFSense config including CPU + memory statistics and your WAN/LAN setup?
Thanks!

I want to buy this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101262and put this RAM in it:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231018I will be installing 1.2.3
I have a large file server with over 4TB of data that I would like to be able to access anywhere in the world down the road. Obviously bandwidth is an issue but with that aside.
I download files all the time and run a Tech help desk and connect to clients computers using Crossloop remote connection software.
I am running a phone server on my current pfsense box (I think it is freeswitch not sure or how that part works I have a friend that helps with that part).
I am going to need a vpn connection down the road and share my files with my friend.
Also need wireless on the box with a wireless card, anyone with information on that part would be greatly appreciated.Thank You

Does anyone know of a small enclosure that would be suitable for this MB?

I assume it would fit

is there anything similar to this motherboard discussed but cheaper.
also this motherboard is very hard to get in parts of Europe ie uk
