flannell Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Curious if anyone thought about, or actually done, moving the HP motherboard into a 2U/4U case? I had a Google but found nothing. Quite like the case, and could use a rack equipment shelf if need be, but wondered if the micro board had standard VESA style fixings. Thanks in advance!

GotNoTime Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 VESA mountings are for the back of TVs/monitors. They don't specify motherboard sizes. Intel runs the site that archives all the various PC motherboard form factor documents. The motherboard inside the Gen8 Microserver isn't a standard size and doesn't come with an I/O backplate. You'd need to do significant work to fit it into a rackmount enclosure designed for something like Mini-ITX. It'd be better to just use the proper motherboard in the first place IMO as the Gen8 Microserver isn't new and has significant restrictions regarding total RAM + what CPUs will work.

flannell Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Arghhh, what a dumbass. Glad you knew what I meant to say. Have all the maximum upgrades already, Xeon 1265Lv2 and 16GB. Guess I'm looking to squeeze another 4x Reds in the case on port 2 of the m1015 card. Could always use an external eSATA case I suppose. Thanks for the reply.
