THE AS7010T INTERIOR

Just like with the AS7004T accessing the interior of the AS7010T is not hard, just remove the three screws at the rear and pull the cover backwards. Of course one of the first things you will see is the 350W PSU by FSP.

Here we also see the PCI express slot for the Dual Port 10 Gigabit Network Expansion Card.

Once again we were short on time so we were unable to dismantle the unit but just by looking we were able to locate the Haswell modules beneath two very large heatsinks, Broadcom NetLink BCM57781 Ethernet controller.

There’s also an extra SO-DIMM RAM slot at the rear of the mainboard plate.
