Thanks for the fast reply, I really appreciate the help. However I'm a bit lost with ipmitool tool, nut sure that the solution you described works on windows or not. But the idea gave me a hint and I found a tool for windows that can handle these servers through the management port.The screenshots from the previous page seems to be from another model (Quanta 2ML) : Quanta 2ML Render Farm - rack, 10 dual e5-2670 and 10Gb switch $3850
I have both models : the Quanta have the same interface as the screenshots on the previous page while the Foxconn have the same interface as you just pasted.
As for the remote IPMI acces, it can be done with ipmitool, for example with a Quanta 2ML (the Foxconn is on a shelf ATM) :
If you dont want to be prompted for the password, you can specify it with "-P" (dont forget to "unset HISTFILE" before if using a shell that keeps commands history and if possible put the password on a file and read it using "-P $(< passwordfile)" as "ps" or "/proc/$PID/cmdline" would reveal to any user on the system the password you passed on the command line).Code:# ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.0.0.x -U login bmc info Password: Device ID : 32 Device Revision : 1 Firmware Revision : 1.26 IPMI Version : 2.0 Manufacturer ID : 7244 Manufacturer Name : Unknown (0x1C4C) Product ID : 12877 (0x324d) Product Name : Unknown (0x324D) [...]
And dont use the "admin" user but create one with only operator privileges (it can start/stop the server but not modify the IPMI settings).
My solution was to put a spare piece of wood on top of it to aid airflow, but I plan to put the old faulty machine on top instead.Thanks for that info.
What do you do with regards no lid?
Does anyone know whether these work nicely with FreeNAS?
What disc controller does it use? Does it do AHCI passthrough?
What do people do if they are running these as a single unit - leave it without a lid or just put something over it to maintain air throughput?
I did install lubuntu and can’t see why it wouldn’t work as a desktop if you have a proper gpu.Have you tried using yours as a desktop? If it's standard SSI EEB I could be interested in trying to buy another server, dual 2670s and use it with my 1060.
