Intel Xeon E-2400 Series First Look

Video Correction - I mistakenly called this system the SYS-511-M. I was actually sent a 511-W, which is a workstation variant. Here are the main differences between those platforms...

SYS-511R-M
Use standard Micro ATX form factor MB
20” shout depth chassis
No NVMe support on front drive bay
Up to two expansion slots + one internal HBA slot

SYS-511R-W
Use SMC proprietary WIO form factor MB
25” depth chassis
Support up to two NVMe on front drive bay
Up to three expansion slots
Able to support double width GPU
