This is my first try with 100GbE devices in my home network.- Sonic OS on Celestica Seast. I am planning to keep it about 1 meter (3 foot) from me in an open rack and turn it on when I need it (which is when I need to run benchmarks or high scale tests), I will plug in only 6 QSFP28 cables so no adapters. To successful make a simple PING, I had to resolve multiple issues.

I have read around that when the OS boots the fans drop down dramatically but and the noise becomes more manageable. I know that the CPU AVR54 bug was fixed end 2016 / early 2017 and have found a switch that has the manufacturing date that is post mid 2018 so I would assume it should be alright but is there anything specific I can try to check to figure out the stepping of the CPU? Upgradeablity should be great for years to come. They will run about 50+ per DAC cable (4 SFP+ 10G Clients per QSFP28 port on the switch), about 150+ for AOC if you need 10G RJ45 you're gonna have a very bad time.

What can I check to see if the CPU has the AVR54 bug? You will need special QSFP28 to SFP+ breakout cables, with compatibility to the corresponding device you wanna connect.

#Celestica seastone dx010 100g tor switches transceiver upgrade#
I am planning to buy a pair of Celestica Seastone DX010 to upgrade the 40gbe network infra I have at home to 100gbe for my homelab as I use it test and bench my oss project cachegrand.
