The vital minimum for server... It lack U2 port and high speed LAN... So you will have to populated PCIe port for a real use (and bother for 1U use).

I agree - dual 10G ports would be very nice additions. The 1U form factor is not a big issue for my purposes but it can be a good thing to have. If you could ever find the third generation EPYC CPUs available this board might have promise.
