I have added more memory, some optane drives to my NAS and I'm just going to hold even longer. My current system has 12 SATA ports, 35w, 8 cores, 4 NICs, IPMI. It's very good for the age. I would have loved some of those low power AMD Epyc embedded processors to get put into systems with 12...

I've opted to go for the regular desktop home user style board, but with a nice geekworm pikvm plugged into it. This is for my future desktop replacement system (I RDP into my desktop, no monitors attached) For my NAS however, I would still heavily lean towards a "real" IPMI based solution...

Recently updated mine, it changed boot order on me, I thought it was dead but it's all good, just a bios boot order change. 1.8.

Can you confirm if the m.2 slot being used, does or does not disable any SATA ports?

Thanks for that, a shame but at least I know!

This confirms my question elsewhere, at least I know :( Thanks.

Can I ask a stupid question. Can the board work with SAS drives? A2SDi-8C+-HLN4F | Motherboards | Products | Supermicro It comes with a MINI SAS HD-4 SATA cable. I get the impression the system is incapable of working with SAS as the specs say: "SATA SoC controller for 12 SATA3 (6 Gbps)...

Has anyone actually purchased and used this board? What are the implications of the chipset on it? I am wanting a particularly fast workstation machine, which I remote desktop to, all the time, in an ITX form factor, this appears to be close to what I need. (I like IPMI a lot so I can...

Yes MeshCommander really saved my bacon, it works really well. The AMD AMC tool (I grabbed it, despite no machines) actually looks maintained, updated and not half bad (IF ALL THE BUTTONS IN THE TOOL DO STUFF!) My entire worry / complaint, is that I'm going to buy a Lenovo unit, which actually...

I've found some indication it may be f10 or shift f10 It's not clear, at all

I've spent the entire day trying to find out, if the Lenovo M75Q can actually do DASH / KVM / VNC properly, the results across the web are very very poor, sounds like a lot of maybe, no, possibly from a variety of people and a lot of frustration. Has anyone got one of these? Preferably Gen 2...

I mean something with some actual performance, low power, low heat, reasonable price, available to build in ITX systems, like the C3xxx

On the unit I have none of the AMT has ever been a problem, but I have a very basic network. Is it possible you have dynamic IP or something like that?

Hello all! I have what might be a really stupid question but I can't be sure of the answer(s) What is the difference between the HP 805 and 405 G8 series, BESIDES the dual m.2 slots and the egpu option? Is anything else lacking? There's reference to "out of band management" on several pages...

6 years now, still nothing to replace it.
