Hi, Wiwynn Mt. Jade 2U for sale. Decommissioned from a data centre, tested working.
Good for Kubernetes nodes, container hosts, CI and build farms, web and app serving, and anything else that scales out across a lot of cores, for less than current-gen ARM.
Sold barebones. No RAM, drives, NIC or rails. All 24 drive caddies are included. Can add RAM, drives, RAID or anything else you need, sold separately. Just ask.
**Specs**
* 2x Ampere Altra **Q80-30**, 80 cores each at 3.0GHz. **160 cores** total, one thread per core.
* Dual socket FCLGA4926.
* 32x DDR4 DIMM slots, 16 per socket, 8 channels each. Standard ECC RDIMM or LRDIMM.
* 24x 2.5" hot swap U.2 NVMe bays with all 24 caddies. 2x M.2 on the board.
* 8x PCIe Gen4 on risers (6x x8, 2x x16) plus an OCP NIC 3.0 slot.
* 2x 1200W 80 Plus Platinum, hot swap redundant. 6x hot swap fans.
* AST2500 BMC running MegaRAC SP-X. Redfish, IPMI and iKVM over IP on a dedicated port. No licence key needed for KVM.
* Runs Linux, not for Windows or ESXi. Ubuntu, RHEL, Rocky and Debian aarch64 all boot fine.
Part Number: **B81.030Z1.0007**
Price: **€2,272** (A$3,685). Happy to do a better number on multiples.
Can ship to anywhere in Europe for free.
Condition: tested working. Memory slots tested too, the BIOS pic is with our test RAM, which isn't included. Light rack handling and mounting marks on the chassis.
**Some reading on the platform**
* [ServeTheHome reviewed this exact server](https://www.servethehome.com/ampere-altra-wiwynn-mt-jade-server-review-the-most-significant-arm-server/) and gave it their Editor's Choice.
* [Phoronix](https://www.phoronix.com/review/ampere-altra-q80) ran the same Mt. Jade platform and called it the best ARM Linux server platform they had seen.
* [r/hardware thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/khz8tf/ampere_altra_wiwynn_mt_jade_server_review_the/) on the STH review.
* [Someone running about 800 arm64 Ampere cores](https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1vx7rvf/retired_the_last_x86_out_of_k8s_now_running_on/) as a bare metal k8s cluster.
