Intel Atom 2000 problems - Affecting Home Center 2?

[MaTi 29]

Dear Fibaro and all reading,

 

In addition to announcing their quarterly figures Intel released a notification in which they warned for problems with their Atom 2000-series CPU.

Additional details can be found here:

Please login or register to see this link.

 

Due to the discovered problems there is an increase in CPUs breaking. Multiple vendors' products are affected; ie Supermicro, Cisco, Synology etc.

Several of these companies have started replacement programs for their affected products because of this.

 

Affected Intel Atoms are the B0-steppings of the following CPUs to be precise:

Atom C2308, C2338, C2350, C2358, C2508, C2518, C2530, C2538, C2550, C2558, C2718, C2730, C2738, C2750 and C2758

 

Fibaro, can you please comment and/or confirm:

 

- I have seen different board being used in Home Center 2's throughout the years; not sure whether all contain the same CPU. Either way; Can you please advise whether there are ANY Home Center 2's out in the field with an affected CPU in them?

- If the answer to the previous question is positive; how can we check for any specific HC2 whether it has such a CPU?

- If the answer to the first question is positive: What will Fibar Group do with this situation?

 

Please advise. Looking forward to hearing back.

At least my HC2 (not the newest model) has Atom N270 so it is not affected.

But my Synology NAS is affected

So is my DS1815+  I too have a b0 stepping..

 

thanks for your feedback on your HC2! Nonetheless, I know they have used different boards in various revisions. Also emailed support, so lets see what they come back with!

Will ask for a reminder via email as well..

i was informed that Fibaro uses n2800 CPUs, hence should not be afficted by this.
