I’m thinking that it is possible that some components (beside the IPMI) is still powered even when the system is powered...

    SMCI X9 Bifurcation I Why some boards but not all ?

    I don't mean to beat a dead horse as this topic has been much discussed (190 search results), but it seems as though there is not a definitive answer as to the question: Do SMCI X9 motherboards support bifurcation?
