This definitely convinced me to pass on this. I really only wanted the motherboard and nothing else for a NAS build but for that price, I can get is cheaper by itself.The seller has removed the original listing and created two new ones.

True enough, but I'm sure that at least one or two security vulnerabilities were addressed. It is unfortunate that they don't provide a changelogSupermicro does have a big warning on the download page about that:
Did you uncheck the Preserve Configuration and Preserve SDR boxes before starting the upgrade? I was able to flash the BIOS to 1.5 and BMC to 1.73.12 without issue.Well I appear to have managed to brick the IPMI with the most recent firmware file:
BMC_X11AST2500-4101MS_20210510_01.73.12_STDsp.zip
I get a bunch of "undefined"s in fields now including lack of power control and no video.
I was able to resolve the BMC upgrade problems and install Proxmox via USB stick. No luck getting the SMB "virtual media" working using a Linux samba server so far, but that isn't a deal-killer for my app. Wish it supported browser-based virtual media like some other solutions though.True enough, but I'm sure that at least one or two security vulnerabilities were addressed.

I'm a little confused, my orange/yellow port is powered and the manual does indicate it supports superdoms?Mine arrived today as well. i should have read the manual a little closer on the sata dom port. I thought it was powered, but ended up needing to use a dom with a power cable.
there's two types of inline power to satadom's. SM superdom uses one (one pin on each side of the connector: gnd, pwr). The other (older) is actually in the connector. Delock has a nice chart.I'm a little confused, my orange/yellow port is powered and the manual does indicate it supports superdoms?
Yes , please!Think we should main site review the motherboard? I have one.
I tested with both SM superdoms and the Innodisk equivalent - both worked fine. I need to dig into the manual and specs on this a bit deeper. lots of interesting looking things on this motherboard.I'm a little confused, my orange/yellow port is powered and the manual does indicate it supports superdoms?
