Budget (including currency): <~250 (looking for used stuff and would like cheap but if I find a good deal willing to spend higher) Country: U.S.A. Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Proxmox, TrueNas Scale, Ubuntu Other details: I'm looking at building a server and I need to get a motherboard and CPU but I'm having trouble finding something for a good deal. I'm looking for a server board with IPMI. That way I can practice using it. And then I also need a CPU that has good efficiency for its power. I'm thinking of getting a LGA 1151 motherboard but I don't know what to get. This is going to be for my main proxmox server that will run truenas, a game server and whatever else I put on it. I could go with a consumer board but I don't know of any that has IPMI. I also need full ATX as I plan on adding a couple different PCIE devices (GPU, networking, storage). Does anyone have any good advice on what to get? Or maybe they have bought something themselves that they could recommend? power mobo+CPU with IPMI

I have multiple dedicated servers both capable of IPMI. Accessing them via a public network would be really unwise, so I have been thinking about making a private network for them. I have tried setting up a VPN then use IP limit access, however the cost would be too high as I have to purchase an IP address for every server. So I have been thinking: What if I use a Pi to create a VPN to access the "internal network" with a public IP, then plug a network switch into the Pi's second network port, and then assign a private IP address to each port on the network switch. Finally I would plug the IPMI port on my servers to the network switch. If I were to access the IPMI of server A, I would first connect to the VPN (Pi), then type in e.g. 192.168.0.1 on my browser to access it. Same goes for server B, except I would type 192.168.0.2 to access the IPMI. This way, I do not have to purchase multiple IP address for multiple servers. I only need ONE ip address for the Pi VPN. So the cost is really just the IP, Pi and the switch. Am I correct in the above case? Would this work? Or is there any other cheaper/simpler way to do so? -
Hello, This is my first post on this forum and hopefully someone can help me end my nightmare. About two weeks ago I finally decided to switch to AMD side after 15 years of Intel and for my office pc I decided to go with a Threadripper workstation. Now, I have plenty of experience with assembling gaming pcs but this time clearly I bitten more than I can chew. Apparently the BIOS of these mobos are a bit different and all the settings that I'm used to find in there are actually in the BMC Web UI, as Gigabyte names it and I couldn't for the life of me figured out how to access it. The mobo in question is: WRX80-SU8-IPMI (rev. 1.0) The manual: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_wrx80-su8-ipmi_0519.pdf What I'm trying to access is at page 42 I watched some YouTube videos and read as much as I could about it and I think I tried every possible combinations of connections from: trying to access it from the workstation (which apparently will not work, I think you need to try and access it from a different pc), another Getac laptop that I had connected to it, or both connected to the BT hub, used all LAN ports combinations, played with the BMC jumpers, set the BMC network configuration with or without the Router IP and MAC address, different Ethernet cables, set the BMC network configuration with static IP or dynamic with Dhcp, tried different browsers, nothing seemed to work. I also tried to update the bios and firmware of the BMC but guess what its all done through that damn web UI as well. Am I just unlucky and got a defective mobo? Again? I would really appreciate if I can find someone who can guide me through the whole process before I lose my mind.

I have couple of Servers in my basemant serverfarm, and some offer ipmi with the supermicro boards, since I've never made use of them, Id like to know of those who actually use them on a daily basis. What do you usally use it for ? Since there seems to be lots of thing you could maintain from that ui thanks in advance

Hihi! i`m trying to build a render PC, based on ATX tower with RTX 3070. and now i need to find out what hardware will be used for this project. The main idea for this project for me is to choose the hardware that can be maintained remotely if any error occur and the Windows can not start; power management - if for some reason PC switches off i would like to have a chance to switch it on remotely. As i can see on the AMD website the AMD Ryzen Pro processors family has the DASH support (the analogy of Intel`s AMT), so i stopped my choice on AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650G. so the next step is to choose the motherboard that also supports this technology. I have tried to find any info about the non-server motherboards that can help me with this but i failed. so i have several questions and hope the Community people can help me with them: -will the DASH available if i have any motherboard with the Ryzen PRO processor? -will the DASH available if i will find some motherboard that has the DASH support indicated with any other, non-PRO processor (for example the Ryzen 5600X)? or maybe i need to find the motherboard with the DASH technology indicated in specs and also the PRO processor?

I found this thread and I'm wondering if anyone has done it. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=119356 also, since almost no modern hardware comes with a serial port (at least not home (non server) consumer stuff), will the recommended usb to serial adapter on the host (pc to grab the screen from) be able to display the BIOS/EFI/POST over the usb/serial connection? If so this seems to be an excellent and much cheaper solution than a $300 IP KVM module. or maybe a male to male usb cable can used but using a serial connection protocol/signaling?

Good morning. I received an email from my ISP (AT&T U-Verse) stating that I may have an open/exposed IPMI in my network. Two things happened shortly (a few days) before I received this email: Set up "new" computer/workstation and installed a new Ubiquiti Unifi AP. Does anyone know if either of these events would expose or create an exposed IPMI in my network? Some context: Using very old software 32 bit Windows XP and DOS software (point of sale) connected to an old Lenovo ThinkServer using SQL Using free "antivirus and antimalware" software on most workstations Server is not connected to internet Appreciate the help!

Hello all, I'm at my whits end with this problem and Asrock have stopped responding to my emails. I've had an Asrock C2750D4i for two years now and it's always been working fine until recently when my system froze. I couldn't perform an orderly shut down through the IPMI interface, FreeNAS or the FreeNAS GUI (which I couldn't even access), so I performed an immediate power off through IPMI. Since then, I've been having all sorts of weird issues where the system wasn't posting, outputting ethernet and outputting VGA signal, either through the VGA port, the IPMI interface or both. At this time it seems to be posting but I've got no VGA to see what exactly is happening, no ethernet and minimal IPMI functionality so I have no idea how I can diagnose the issue. I've tried removing all but one stick of RAM (tried 4 individual sticks in all 4 slots), I've removed or disconnected all non-essential hardware and tried clearing the CMOS and none have fixed the issue. The system is running the latest BIOS and BMC. I've attached a photo of the last view I had of the VGA output before I lost it. Specifications: Motherboard/CPU/Cooler: Asrock C2750D4i Memory: Crucial CT102472BD160B 4x8GB PSU: Silverstone SST-SX500-LG OS Drive: SanDisk UltraFit 16 GB OS: FreeNAS 11 At this point, that's all the hardware that's attached to it. Any suggestions you may have would be excellent. I'm on the verge of replacing the board.

Hello, So I have a Supermicro MBD-X10SRH-CLN4F-O motherboard installed in a CSE-743T-665B 4 U case, both are from Supermicro. The issue that is currently bothering me is the fans in the case ramping up to near max speed (about 6k RPM) and then dropping back to idle speeds. It does this about every 5 seconds and the RPM spike lasts for about 3-4 seconds. I used IPMI and played around with its fan control settings and it didn't change the ramping issue. I also have a Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U 92mm with a much slower, 92mm fan for the CPU. The loud included server fans are the only other fans aside from the CPU cooler. The included fans are the ones ramping up their RPM. Supermicro has a weird way of managing fan speeds, it uses RPM thresholds and I beleive the Noctua fan drops below a specific threshold that the other fans attempt to compensate for (see attached images). I just want the server to be quiet, or even just loud but consistent, the ramping is seriously annoying. Any body have any ideas? Thanks, Kellen

I finally got my server built and I configured it to be on two different IP addresses (so I can figure out what the heck's going on.) And, I tried both IP addresses and nothing works, unable to connect. I even switched up the ip addresses on my laptop's ethernet nic so that the server and my laptop are on the same net and subnet as eachother. And nothing works. That and I can't boot into any operating systems now (just ****ing great am I right?). Should I update the bios on the stupid motherboard or am I doing something wrong?

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum, so if I have posted in the wrong section please forgive me. I have a problem with ipmi on my gigabyte r180-f34 servers. In the webgui I did a reboot of the BMC, upon restarting the BMC web server no longer allows me to connect. any browser i've used has returned an ssl certificate error with connection refused. I can still ssh into it, although it shows me some weird server management protocol that I have no experience with. I tried doing a cold restart with ipmi tool as well and it did nothing. I can still log in via ssh with the credentials I setup tho, I just cannot get web gui access. If anyone has any suggestions or thing I could try I'm willing to attempt it to get it back up. Thanks!

Hi there, I’m building a 1gbit/s home server for basic NAS, media streaming and webhosting capabilities and would like to be able control it remotely. The difficulty I’m facing is choosing between a remote management technology where I may turn the computer on/off, reset and configure it. There are currently 3 that I found: AMD Dash Intel AMT IPMI Now I got the following questions: Are there any more remote management technologies? As far as I understand, AMD Dash is only available to business customers, right? (also these cpus would have an individual price, I think) To have Intel's AMT enabled do I require a cpu and motherboard that both support vPro? Intel's AMT doesn't have a web interface, right? May I use IPMI with all its features just through a PCIe card without any extra support by the mainboard and CPU? (HPE Dedicated iLO4)

Budget (including currency): Country: Europe Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CCTV Viewing Client Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hi All, Long time lurker, first post. I am looking for advice on new workstation builds for work, the main use for these workstation is viewing and playback of CCTV. The system will be a viewing client for CCTV on 24/7, needs to be reliable and have remote management like vPro or IPMI. What my normal build looks like: i7 7700 16GB Ram 500GB OS drive NVME or Sata NVME I will take supermicro recommendations but really want to move away from them, nothing but problems the last year or so with boards failing and bad bios updates. Also any advice on NVME vs Sata SSDs for reliability? Thanks, Aaron

Hello Guys, a couple days ago I ran a problem. I bought a SuperMicro Server but the Licence Key for IPMI was rubbed off. So I Programmed a KeyGen to Calculate the Licence Key (It is dependend on the MAC of the IPMI Interface) and though I share the Software with you guys. Maybe it helps someone out <file deleted>

Hello there, people interested in servers probably have heard of KVM / iKVM / IPMI modules. These are network attached remote control modules, which can be used to administer a server (or workstation). An example can be found here. I would really love to have something like that on my consumer Asus motherboard. I can't seem to find any reliable information regarding IPMI chips on consumer boards. There are workstation oriented boards supporting these, but they are to expensive. These KVM modules should be featured in a LTT video imo.

Hello All, As the title suggest I have a BMC 601 error on my HP Proliant ML150G6, and I've been unable to fix it thus far. A post suggested that I need to flash the lights out software to fix this, but I can't find anywhere to download this or how to flash it. I've inserted an ethernet jack in both the ports and I read somewhere I should set the IP to static in my bios > advanced > ipmi, but all ip related options there are greyed out. I have installed an E5540 with 2x4GB and a 250GB harddisk with Windows Server 2008 R2. I hope I haven't left out anything but feel free to ask otherwise.

Hi I'm new with ASRock IPMI ... so my question is Does IPMI require Intel vPro CPU? thanks

So i reset my Freenas, and i always have to go into the bios and then the boot menu to start up freenas. (Plugins Pains that's why i reset) I have been using the Ipmi interface because i didn't bring a VGA screen when i moved out of parents house. I can sign into the bms and do all the controls but when i go into console viewer ( on screen bios interface) it says "Maximum number of allowable sessions reached, please close other sessions and try again" But i don't have any other sessions open? restarting the board does not work (turning off and on) To view the bios screen i am using Jviewer Java is fine. I can get a screen capture of the bios in the dashboard though. Motherboard is ASrock C2750d4i 8gb of ECC ram is installed. Has anyone got any ideas? i would go my old screen but that's 50 miles away and I've been there once today annoyingly. Thanks for looking and helping. EDIT: after turning it off, i unplugged it at the wall. turned it back on and now i cant even access the bcm through the ip address. when i go into my bt home hub to see what's connected and their addresses it says that no Ethernet is attached. the internet access was also playing up so i might try resetting my bt home hub. otherwise i think I'm going to have to go get a screen .

Hi, I am looking to build a (free)NAS server for mainly plex use that i can tuck away in the basement, shed in the backyard or some other cool place i dont have to listen to the noise it can make. To control the server i would like to use iKVM using the ipmi protocol. I was looking at the following. ASRock C2750D4i It is an octa core SoC motherboard with fullsize dimm slots and capable of using ECC unbuffered ram. (usefull for freenas) But that motherboard is not SUPER powerfull, allthough i read that someone used it to transcode 4 streams 1080p at the same time. But the motherboard is 500 euro's in holland (its around 600 bucks u.s.) and that is pretty steap if you ask me. TLDR: I want an ECC capable motherboard with enough power to transcode at least 3 streams 1080p and is manageble by IPMI iKVM protocol. Any suggestions?

So on my server I've had IPMI set up, it worked fine with everything including remote desktop control using my gaming PC. Its been two weeks with my gaming PC down for an RMA, its now rebuilt. The problem is now when I go through IPMI from my gaming pc, I cant remote control it anymore. I get "500 internal server error". The only changes have been the display driver, it was the integrated, then i put in a 760 and then a 5870, tried IPMI with 5870, realized it was based around the integrated graphics so I took out the 5870, and then I could see the desktop in the IPMI preview of the server, but still got the same server when trying to remote in. Nothing has changed with the IPMI configuration, so im not sure whats causing this problem. Walked away for 30 min, came back, now the preview inst even popping up using the integrated graphics. The server is definitely running with a desktop and everything, its right beside me.

Can I not use IPMI from a different network? I've configured and got it working for my server via my local network connecting from my main PC by typing in 192.168.1.240 (my server IP) and it works, but if im not at my house, how can I connect? Can't find anything on it, it seems maybe I use IMPIcfg utility, but when i download it from SuperMicro and run it, the run window goes away and then nothing happens. Running Windows server 2012 standard.
