TYAN Motherboard?

[JCH]

I am currently interested in purchasing a used server off of eBay, and in the listing it specifies that the motherboard is the TYAN S7012 motherboard.

 

I have never used TYAN or have ever heard of TYAN. Are they any good? Also, from what I see in the motherboard specification on TYAN's website (http://www.tyan.com/Motherboards_S7012_S7012GM4NR), it says that there is IPMI BMC onboard. However, I do not see a dedicated LAN port for IPMI on the motherboard.

 

Do I need an additional part to get IPMI working? OR is it being shared through LAN1?

Tyan is quite a prominent server company. Their motherboards are quite good in terms of quality.

IPMI can be handled over LAN btw c:

For some reason it's not giving me the option to set an IP in BIOS, just STATIC or DHCP

Then its most likely shared through lan1, or it is specified in the manual.

I'm following this, http://www.tyan.com/manuals/S7012_QR_v1_0.pdf

 

Would LAN1 be the bottom right port?

Mostlikely also in the manual, just look for io layout

I tried LAN1, still not showing up in BIOS
