Below is in regards to the SoftIron ARM64 boards we're waiting on. Shall we wait the 20-30 days or go through the procurement paperwork to get the pre-production loan board? Ben

Benjamin Hi

Sorry for the delayed response in getting back to you .

As you are aware this is pioneering technology and there is no prior art in the production of ARM motherboards and as such we are focused on delivering a technically excellent solution to our customers.

The boards have been manufactured and as a result of our quality assurance and some late revisions to the ARM silicon it has been necessary to perform a number of minor but necessary re-works to the product and perform associated testing . As you can imagine this caused both us and our customers some short term inconvenience.

Your order will ship in 20-30 days for which we apologise .

No doubt you are keen to proceed testing this new technology and as a gesture of goodwill Softiron can ship you an interim pre-production loan board to enable you to start your product evaluation without further delay.

All we would ask is that you return the board to us once you have received your order.

Please lets us know ASAP if you would like us to ship a loan board and we will expedite immediately.

Kind regards

Eugene

Ben Hi

As a rule of thumb the board consumes significantly less than 100 watts so take into account, hard drives, GPU and any other devices and that should help you right-size a PSU.

Hope this helps

Hi Ben Thank you for contacting me and your interest in SoftIron server boards. At this point in time we are accepting advanced orders direct for our 64-0800 server board only , priced at $1950 + Shipping . We plan ship our current build allocation in around 60 days, the global demand for product has been outstanding! We design and manufacture server boards and will in due course have an approved reseller in the United States that could ship you a working or part built system. That said we can recommend pre-validated parts (power supply & memory) that could assist your team in putting together the two rack mount systems you require. Please let me know how you wish to proceed?
