You sure that you need a 180 U$D license? Cause mounting ISO is apparently supported by the 27 U$D one. Check 1-4 Software Licenses Available here: https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/IPMI_Users_Guide.pdf

No non-W680 or R680E Chipset supports ECC.

I drooled with the MSI D3052 with the ASpeed AST2600 BMC plus the Intel E810-XXVAM2 NIC with 2 SFP28 Ports. The Intel X710-TM4 with 4 Ports (2 SFP+ plus 2 10G Ethernet or 4 10G Ethernet with 2 offchip PHYs) is limited by the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, and the X710-AT2 with 2 Ports for 10G Ethernet...

In the case of Supermicro that is laughable because I recall that I used to complain that they didn't published BIOS changelogs. My X10SAT remembers that well. And yes, due to the fact than nowadays BIOS updates also include a great deal of security fixes Supermicro advice is bad. I would...

Usually you have a physical limit of how many PCI devices you can drive that depends on the PCIe controller itself. Even if you have 20 lanes theorically bifurcatable to 1x, the controller may be limited to say, 10 devices. This is usually casually mentioned on datasheets. For example, on Ryzen...

What you're describing is Open-Channel SSD. A decade old idea that as far that I know, went nowhere. You are supposed to need some kind of interface between a Bus like PCIe and a number of NAND chips, but the interface can be dumb since all the processing is done host side so is not a full blown...

Raptor Lake supports 1 SPC with a Single Rank DIMM @ 5600 MHz, or Dual Rank DIMM @ 5200 MHz (Yours) However, Raptor Lake Refresh supports 1 SPC with BOTH a Single Rank DIMM or a Dual Rank DIMM @ 5600 MHz. And a 14700K is Raptor Lake Refresh, so...

Working as intended. Alder Lake supports DDR5 4800 MHz and Raptor Lake 5600 ONLY IF THE MOTHERBOARD HAS ONE SLOT PER CHANNEL. Motherboard has 4 Slots? 4400 max for best case, which is 1 DPC installed. You could check with ThrottleStop or Intel XTU in Windows what the PL1/PL2 values are.

You do absolutely NOTHING with that alone. The card drivers have to actually enable the Virtual Functions. Plus they have to... do something when you pass them. No one knowns how the whole piping is supposed to work. Want another example? Intel Tiger Lake, Alder Lake and Raptor Lake IGPs have...

You may very likely even encounter at least one thread from myself in this very forum about SR-IOV on SAS Controllers, and the conclusion is that there is barely any proof about anyone getting it working, nor explaining how it works, not how to configure it. Yet SR-IOV itself was on the product...

That board lacks a BMC thus is not considered Server, which the ASUS W680 and the other AsRock Racks do have. If you paid attention to the PCB, you would see the solder spots for such a chip. There is another board based on the same PCB with that populated, the EC266D4-4L. It is based on a C266...

There are not many alternatives in the realm of LGA 1700 with BMC and ECC. It is either W680 Chipset or R680E (For embedded/industrial. About the same than W680 but with no overclock), and at that point your only viable choices are either the ASUS W680, the AsRock Industrials (No BMC) or the...

What do you mean with video driver? Are you talking about Option ROM on POST or after OS boots? Do you get video output on a monitor plugged into the card when it POST in that condition? What about BMC video output or remote? You need A LOT more details about that. If anything, I would point my...

They were officially released. SKU data available on Intel Ark site. Instruction Set Extensions: Intel® SSE4.1, Intel® SSE4.2, Intel® AVX2 So no AVX512? Meh. Also note that the release slide claimed DDR5 2 DPC up to 4800 MHz, which would be higher than the 3600/4000 that all other Raptor Lake-S...

Is that the only info we have about those? Not even an announcement about the new C260 series Chipsets or if the Raptor Lake Xeons have AVX512 support? The only thing that seems curious is the claim that they do DDR5 2 DPC up to 4800 MHz, which would be 800 MHz higher than Core iX Raptor Lakes...
