MNT Rack Reform first boot! next steps are finishing the panels, PCIe riser, and BMC
@mntmn no plan for disk bays?
@wolf480pl unsure if bays make sense in 1U as opposed to top access
@mntmn well if it's mounted in a rack I'd imagine there'd be other stuff directly above and below it
@wolf480pl yeah, it means no hotswap of disks. i guess not the main focus of this version.
@quad @mntmn
Proper rails, like Dell's ReadyRails, can hold the server up while it's fully slid out of the rack. If you have enough slack in the cables to not have to unplug the server when sliding it out, this can work.
But if the rails drop the server into our hands after you slide it out, that's a pain.
Of course if the Reform doesn't weight much, has only 2 cables, and you don't have 10 of them in one rack, it won't be as much of a problem.
@wolf480pl @quad yes, and your input is very welcome!
@mntmn yes please
@mntmn Do you use a handheld lighter to start it up?
@mntmn what is the notebook on that photo? Looks pretty nice!
@arek that's the MNT Reform!
@mntmn thx! How about the build quality? :)
@mntmn How many SATA ports? Could be great for NAS.
@epilys built in one, but can be easily extended with pcie
