Looks like they're using Open Compute Project inspired designs, looking at those high-visibility green screws.

hey, this is Rami .. I lead hw team in Cloudflare.

Great observation! these chassis are designed for 19" racks, not OCP spec. But, who does not love green thumb screws!

Can I ask the chassis and motherboard combination? I know previous generations have been based on QCT chassis and motherboard components. I am curious what the non-hotswap, shallow depth, 1S is as it probably saves a fair amount of money dropping the HPC/density and hot swap premiums.

Looks like an OCP mezzanine interface tho.

If a server can take OCP mezz cards and the BMC can be managed in the same manner and with the same tools as a fully OCP-spec system, does it really matter that it's not in an OCP-spec chassis and rack?
