Unboxing and Installing a Gigabyte Marvell ThunderX2 56-Core ARM64 Rack Mount Server (R281-T91)
This is mostly going to be a visual post. I will unbox my newest server, my first high powered ARM64 (aarch64) system. It's a Cavium/Marvell 56-core ThunderX2 put together by Gigabyte and sold by ThunderXForums. I have lots of experience with inexpensive ARM based single board computers. The PineBook Pro, all types of Raspberry Pi's (including the 400), Pine64, Rock64, Orange Pi, Banana Pi, and even the ASUS Tinker Board. Those are all fine low powered devices good for... well...
