    159$ US 'new' Quanta D51B-1U LGA2011-3 Server Best Offer

    From what I know, there are 3 firmwares. BIOS, BMC, and CPLD. The BMC and CPLD are their own chips on the motherboard (I believe some motherboard manuals go into details about how it works). The CPLD might be important to update, and I think the firmware bin file required is in the ZIP I...

    159$ US 'new' Quanta D51B-1U LGA2011-3 Server Best Offer

    Yeah, I noticed the BIOS/BMC in there is old, but I'm more so talking about the CPLD update, which I don't know if I have or not, or if it's even important. I'm wondering if it's required for v4 CPUs or if theres a way to see if I have it installed or not already.

    159$ US 'new' Quanta D51B-1U LGA2011-3 Server Best Offer

    I see. I assume you're a version or two behind the BMC/BIOS that I'm running. My only worry is what is the "CPU upgrade package for D51B-1U2U.zip" for? It has a "ucpld_ip.sh" file inside, which reads from the "Grantley_CPLD_S2B_R09_2016-06-07.jed" file. I'm unsure if it's required, and I'm...

    159$ US 'new' Quanta D51B-1U LGA2011-3 Server Best Offer

    Coming back to this again... Can anyone point me in the right direction for the latest BMC/BIOS/Backplane/Etc firmware? Right now I'm running this, according to the IPMI interface: Firmware Revision: 3.83.00 BIOS Version: S2B_3B22 Is there anything else I'm missing? Or are these the latest I...

    159$ US 'new' Quanta D51B-1U LGA2011-3 Server Best Offer

    I was hoping that it might be as easy as just plugging something in and it just working. It's a bit difficult because I have to work with the datacenter techs and I don't believe they provide services to start using meters on random parts of the motherboard. Not only that, I have to pay for...

    159$ US 'new' Quanta D51B-1U LGA2011-3 Server Best Offer

    Its the 4x 3.5" D51B-1U model. It has the 2.5" bays above the 3.5" bays (the manual says SSD tray). I'm pretty sure the techs can run a sata cable to the middle of the motherboard (not sure how this will work with the raid controller, though) but my issue is that I don't know where power is. I...

    159$ US 'new' Quanta D51B-1U LGA2011-3 Server Best Offer

    Not sure if this is the place to ask but I was wondering if anyone knows how to use the 2.5" bays above the 3.5" bays on the 3.5" model. I don't have the server on hand anymore (it's colocated) and I wanted to add some 2.5" SSDs. I don't think the slots are connected to the backplane but there...
