But it seems not to be allergic to Linux http://www.spec.org/cpu2017/results/res2020q2/cpu2017-20200331-21877.html The mainboard seems to work with elderly Linux kernels: https://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/OS/C621.cfm?page=2 > DDR4 32GB PC21300 2666MHz RDIMM ECC REG Samsung 1,2V 6,00 One never can have too much RAM. > Supermicro CSE-732i-R500 [...] 500W If already your CPUs are specified to have a TDP of 150 W each then a 500 W power supply appears dangerously close to the minimum requirements: https://www.servethehome.com/supermicro-x11dpi-n-e-atx-motherboard-review/ "We find an idle power draw of 132 watts and Peak of 394 watts to be quite common" That was with 130 W Xeons. > my past experience that my SSD was invisible during installation.
