ADDITIONAL INFO

Technical Questions and Responses:

(1) I read the specs for the RFQ. The motherboard is EOL. Can I submit a quote with a new replacement board (RAM specs might have to change)? Or you must use the exact motherboard?

Also, we can offer our own in-house warranty and remote phone support. Could you let me know please?

Response:

We know the motherboard is EOL but are unable to accept a different board. The newer part numbers (X11 and or X12) have not been tested on board the carriers so we are not authorized at this time to use them. Please review if it says limited or brand on the specific component. Table on Page 5 provided under Salient Characteristics clearly defines if it has to be exact or an “equal” is acceptable. I think below is what you’re referring to.

(2) We have reached out directly to the manufacturer of these systems Supermicro and they have messaged us back with the following: “Many parts have been EOL and no more inventory to build we can use newer generation to quote, but not sure if customer can accept. As in the details they said that the cage is special designed for this specific chassis. 743TQ- 1200B-SQ, we don’t have any more, but we have 743TQ-903B-SQ https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/chassis/4U/743/SC743TQ-903B-SQ . Can you please check and see if your team can use the newer generation system? As the ones requested has gone end of life and is no longer available.

Response:

It seems that switching over to 743TQ-903B-SQ chassis would be acceptable as long as:

1.) Power supply is greater than 800W, and the PSU will support the X9 motherboard (counting the components we need a total no less than 623W, and do not want to go > 750W)

2.) Dimensions must be the same as 743TQ- 1200B-SQ (to match out shock and vibe testing, and our shipboard housing that it fits in) **** THIS IS A MUST – CAN NOT BE DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS****

3.) Finally, that the raid backplane is the same: 743 SAS BACKPLANE W/AMI MG9072

As long as those are met, it is fine. To switch to 743TQ-903B-SQ https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/chassis/4U/743/SC743TQ-1200B-SQ https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/chassis/4U/743/SC743TQ-903B-SQ

According to SuperMicro site the only difference is the Power Supply Unit.
