When will ipv6 working again completely?

Nothing much from HE yet. I'll likely just have to pull routes from elsewhere.

Ugh... can't resist the temptation. Just ordered ryzen slice and slabs on LV.

What did you end up using for the Supermicro 815 front panel connector cable, and for the rear I/O plate?

Thanx...

Back: Nothing at all!

Thanks.
Yes, tried that cable, but seems to be a 20-pin connection in front of chassis, not a 16-pin, the 16-pin cable falls out, and the cable removed was a 20-pin to 20-pin as well. ;-(
Same on multiple model 815 cases I checked out...

Silly Flanders.

What I linked attaches to the front panel cable that is attached to the front IO.

You'll then need to repin the 3 pin power LED (move the black pin in 1 spot).

Past that works fine. I've installed 100+ so far this year.

I appreciate your help on this! ;-)

No prob on the PLED...that is simple enough.

However I don't see how the existing front panel cable attached to the 0084L splitter extension. One is 16-pin, and the other is 20-pin, and the one will not physically fit into the other. It's not a matter of only using 16 of the 20 pins, it physically will not fit together. You didn't have this problem?

I don't have any in hand this very second but if you're in the area i'll be at Fiberhub on Tuesday/Wednesday and you can grab one of mine and check my chassis'.

Maybe you got a really old 815, but the cable should be just fine. I ordered 40 some odd CBL-0084L's the other day and have used most of them without issue.

Yep, that's the issue...older 815 chassis seem to have 20-pin connectors. :-(
We were using an old chassis for testing purposes, which has a 20-pin panel cable, whereas specs on SM site say they changed it to 16-pin now.
Never noticed it, as never used anything but the SM board in SM cases before...

Man, does that thing even have a 24 pin power? Thing was made before the war.
