Supermicro server disposition

Supermicro equipment can include different processors, memory, storage, and accelerator cards within similar-looking chassis. Describe the systems as they are currently configured, rather than relying only on a chassis name. Photos and an existing inventory export are useful if you have them.

Include rack servers, multi-node systems, storage chassis, and GPU systems in the same inquiry. The platforms below are examples. Older or unfamiliar builds can be submitted for review without first assembling a complete specification sheet.

A front-and-rear photo, a readable system label, and a rough count help establish what is present. For multi-node equipment, mention whether the nodes are still installed in their shared chassis. For GPU systems, include any card models you already know.

Tell us about missing nodes, power supplies, drive carriers, or cooling components, and whether condition is known or untested. There is no need to take a system apart just to begin. If the inventory is difficult to identify remotely, request a visit for help.

Identify installed and loose drives separately from the other components. We agree on their handling before collection, including in-house sanitization or a request for on-site HDD/SSD shredding. On-site availability and the exact job scope are confirmed individually.

Let us know where the equipment is located and whether it remains racked. Include loading access and any building restrictions when planning the handoff. The collection plan should account for the whole lot, not just the main chassis.
