+Appendix D - Running on Bare Metal
+##################################
+
+I opted to get one of the new Intel Atom C3000 CPUs to spawn VyOS on it.
+Running VyOS on an UEFI only device is supported as of VyOS release 1.2.
+
+Shopping Card
+-------------
+
+* 1x Supermicro CSE-505-203B (19" 1U chassis, inkl. 200W PSU)
+* 1x Supermicro MCP-260-00085-0B (I/O Shield for A2SDi-2C-HLN4F)
+* 1x Supermicro A2SDi-2C-HLN4F (Intel Atom C3338, 2C/2T, 4MB cache, Quad LAN with
+  Intel C3000 SoC 1GbE)
+* 1x Crucial CT4G4DFS824A (4GB DDR4 RAM 2400 MT/s, PC4-19200)
+* 1x SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB (USB-A 3.0 SDCZ43-032G-G46 mass storage for OS)
+* 1x Supermicro MCP-320-81302-0B (optional FAN tray)
+
+Optional (10GE)
+---------------
+If you wan't to get additional ethernet ports or even 10GE connectivity
+the following optional parts will be required:
+
+* 1x Supermicro RSC-RR1U-E8 (Riser Card)
+* 1x Supermicro MCP-120-00063-0N (Riser Card Bracket)
+
+Latest VyOS rolling releases boot without any problem on this board. You also
+receive a nice IPMI interface realized with an ASPEED AST2400 BMC (no information
+about [OpenBMC](https://www.openbmc.org/)) so far on this motherboard.
