That's pretty standard? Anything that's going straight into 400V (I assume) deserves a good eyeball before it's energised. I doubt their "root of trust" knows how to protect the system from a dead mouse in the bus bars.



I'm not worried about dead mice; I'm worried about tampering. I would have hoped there'd be more guidance than "just look and see if anything looks weird". A determined threat actor can easily side-step that check with, for example, careful desoldering/resoldering technique.


I suspect this step is intended to protect you from FedEx, not the NSA.


If this is seriously your level of supply chain scrutiny, being an Oxide early adopter probably isn't the best idea.


I think for the unit price of $1M per rack or more, you can easily afford an armed guard to escort the crate from the factory.

I think the sleds blind mate to a 55V DC common bus.
