Where is Bedrock manufactured and where is it shipped from?

Bedrock PCBAs are manufactured by IMI Philippines
Mechanical assembly and testing for Bedrock samples and small volume orders takes place at SolidRun facility in Israel. In that case shipping is from Israel.
For large volume orders, assembly and testing takes place at IMI, supervised by SolidRun. In that case shipping is done directly from the Philippines to the customer.

Can NVME drives be configured in a RAID array?

...

What are the dimensions of Bedrock package and its weight?

The standard Bedrock package measures 24 x 18 x 11 cm (4.7 liter)

...

Info

PSU, cables and accessories are not included in the box and are shipped in a separate box.

What metrics should be used to determine if Bedrock is thermally fine?

  1. Monitor CPU die temperature in software.
    Temperature should not exceed 100ºC

  2. Measure enclosure temperature using a thermo-coupler or IR thermometer.
    Temperature should not exceed ambient+40ºC

  3. Measure power used by Bedrock.
    If measuring AC “at the wall” assume power consumed by Bedrock is 90% of the measured value
    Bedrock temperature above ambient is proportional to power

Notes:

  • To verify that Bedrock is assembled properly and does not have thermal conduction failures, check these guidelines

    • DeltaT die to enclosure should not exceed 20ºC

    • DeltaT between two sides of Bedrock should not exceed 15ºC

  • It is advised to limit CPU power in BIOS to the minimum power that meets performance goals, in order to reduce temperatures

  • All secondary devices (RAM, SSD, NICs, power FETs) are conduction cooled and are not expected to overheat

How do I check the CPU clocks?

To see the clocks of the CPU you can use the following command: lscpu -e=mhz

 To probe continuously you can use the command: watch -n 0.5 lscpu -e=mhz
This command will probe the CPU clocks every 0.5 seconds; you can change the probing time as you wish.
