Excellent home/office server!
This is a great little board for a home or small office server. I’m using it as a file server, media server, and VM host with Hyper-V. Works great for all of those tasks. I added two of these Kingston Technology ValueRAM 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L PC3-12800 ECC CL11 1.35V SODIMM Notebook Memory KVR16LSE11/8 sticks for a total of 16GB of RAM.The part that I like best is that it has built-in IPMI with remote KVM support. I downloaded the software from Supermicro, and was able to install Windows Server 2012 R2 with just the network cable plugged in, and everything controlled remotely via the Supermicro KVM application. The BMC also has it’s own web interface, so you can use that without downloading any additional software (you do need Java for the KVM features to work though.) The web interface also lets you monitor sensor readings and upgrade the firmware, among other things.This board has lots of options for connectivity, including 6 SATA ports and 4 gigabit Ethernet ports (plus one more port dedicated to the BMC.) I currently have an Intel SSD as the boot drive + 2 WD Green 2TB drives for storage. The whole system is in a Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced – Mini-ITX Computer Case with USB 3.0 Ports and Long Video Card Support (RC-120A-KKN1) case, which is great for airflow and has ample drive bays. The CPU on board doesn’t have (or need) a fan, but I added a fan inside the case anyway, which is in addition to the two that come with the case.

Polarized review
Almost everything about this board earna it 5 stars. I bought as a low power virtualization server as I expect most are. 32 GB of memory, 8 cores and uses only about 44 Watts in my build, very awesome. CentOS7 likes all the hardware, the IPMI is as good as most iLO,DRAC,RSA options. From someone who generally hates whit box servers,it’s stable and generally there is nothing not to love. …Would be 5 stars EXCEPT…There is one major defect. It’s so bad I can’t fathom how it got by QA and honestly not sure how it’s not mentioned in every review on here. The front panel header is located such that if you actually plug the front panel connections in, inserting any PCI-e card is hokey at best, impossible in some cases. In my case I wanted to use a Dell H710 disk controller, it simply won’t insert without pressuring the card and the connectors.I bought a hokey right angle adapter off eBay to solve the issue but I think SuperMicro owes all owners of this board a better solution. And for crying out loud address the problem in Rev. 2 of the board.

I am mostly satisfied with the Supermicro A1SRI-2758F-O, but it does have some problems.
I am mostly satisfied with the Supermicro A1SRI-2758F-O, but it does have some problems.The system is surprisingly fast for such a low power CPU. It can easily serve enough data to fill the gigabit ethernet, and there is no problem doing software RAID across all 6 SATA ports. Debian 8 and Ubuntu 14.04 work fine with no issues.Using SSDs, the entire system is under 40 watts. It doesn’t overheat and can easily be powered by a UPS. I have several servers running, with months of uninterrupted uptime. They work reliably.These boards are fussy about RAM. I have successfully installed and used CT102472BF160B (8 GB) and MT18KSF2G72HZ-1G6A2 (16 GB). If you have an older board you will need to update the BIOS to get it to recognize the 16 GB modules. If you install the wrong memory or it is not seated correctly, you get a completely nondescriptive error code and the system will not boot, which can make it quite frustrating to track down what the actual problem is.My major complaint is that the USB3 ports do not work reliably. They will work at first, but fail randomly. This happened on several different boards, so it was not just one bad one. The two USB2 ports on the back do work, however if you need to plug in more than two devices you will need an external USB hub.

Hangs during boot
On the spec sheet, this seems like an awesome board. Supermicro usually make amazingly solid stuff. We have well over $100,000 of Supermicro servers at work, so naturally Supermicro was my top choice.However, this motherboard often refuses to boot, while other times, it starts just fine. Tried different memory, configurations, CMOS reset, etc, and bios (when it actually booted) to no avail. Just sits there at System Initializing F1. All memory was tested using Memtest86+ v5.01.No one with a production server wants their hardware to hang on boot, especially remote equipment. Plus all of the hours wasted waiting for this thing to boot….. Who knows if RMA will fix it. Time will tell, but time is money.

Zippy little low powered server.
This here is a cute little Atom C2758 board. I’m using it as a home virtualization server, and it is working perfectly.Loaded up with a bunch of ECC ram, a SAS controller (and storage), and a boot SSD. Pretty zippy for what it is. Does not feel as sluggish as the previous generations of Atom processors.My only complaint is more to do with the lack of C2000 Intel QAT drivers for the recent kernels, and the difficulty of using QAT. But that isn’t a critical problem.Overall, I’m happy with this board, and totally suggest it for anyone wanting to run a low powered server at home, or a fairly robust Firewall/VPN appliance. Slap it in a SuperMicro 505-203B and be happy.

An excellent board, installed into a file server. With 4 network ports, it has very versatile options to connect to the network (or networks) without need for expansion. The on board out of band management is excellent.

Ich betreibe mit diesem Mainboard einen Server unter FreeNAS mit 2 * 8GB ECC Speicher und 4 Festplatten.Das Mainboard bietet einen 8-Kern Atom-Prozessor. Dieser meistert wie Aufgaben meines Homeservers problemlos.Bei Datentransfers wird problemlos 1 GBit/s erreicht. Um die Geschwindigkeit bei Zusammenschaltung der 4 Netzwerkports zu testen fehlt mir leider die Hardware.Wenn der Management-Netzwerkport angeschlossen ist, stehen über ein Webinterface viele praktische Funkionen zur Verfügung:- Temperaturen und Lühfterdrehzahlen können überwacht werden- Der Server kann über das Interface neu aus- und eingeschaltet werden- Es können CD-Images eingebunden werden, die dann als virtuelles Laufwerk im Server auftauchen- Der Server schickt bei Ausfall von Lüftern oder anderen Komponenten eine Mail an den Administrator- Ãber ein Javaprogramm kann der Server komplett ferngesteuert werden. Auch Bootscreens und BIOS sind komplett bedienbar.Ein kleines Problem des Mainboards war für mich die passive Kühlung.Beim Design des Servers sollte man darauf achten, dass ein Luftstrom in Richtung der Kühllamellen (also senkrecht zum Speicher und parallel zu den I/O-Ports an der Rückseite des Mainboards) zur Verfügung steht. Da die CPU nur passiv gekühlt wird, ist sie auf diesen Luftstrom zur Kühlung angewiesen.In meinem Server läuft der Luststrom in die andere Richtung, kommt also von den I/O-Ports. Das führte zuerst unter Vollast zu CPU-Temperaturen über 90°C. Ein kleiner Lüfter, den ich auf die Kühllamellen geklebt habe, hat das Problem aber gelöst. Dieser Lüfter bläst Luft von oben durch die Lamellen und kühlt den Prozessor so auf ca. 35°C unter Volllast.Wenn die Lüftung des Servers zur Ausrichtung des Kühlers passt würde ich das Mainboard bedenkenlos empfehlen. Ansonsten sollte zusätzlich ein kleiner Lüfter bestellt werden.
