@buyenne thanks for replying!
Yes I have found the Video Redirect but I have never been able to activate it, I'm missing the Start Video Redirection (HTML5) button you have.
Do you know how to activate the button?
Have you installed any ServerView components (software, e.g. ServerView Agents) on the managed server (TX1320 M3)?
Did your machine come with the the KVM licens or did you install it your selfe?
I managed to get Java running in an old Firefox browser (VirtualBox Windows 10) but I still don't have the Start Video Redirection (HTML5) button!

@buyenne ,
It would appear that I am missing the 'Show Video Redirection (Java Web Start) In Navigation' (the one you have marked in yellow) even if I have the check box checked. Nothing happens if I check and uncheck and click the apply button.
If I uncheck Show 'logout' in Navigation, logout disappears from Navigation to the left. I would expect 'Show Video Redirection (Java Web Start) In Navigation' would work the same but it doesn't.
As you can see from the image it would appear that I have the required licence, I wonder what is different in my case?! Do you have any ideas?

Hi again,
I found the cause of my problem.
The Onboard video needs to be Enabled in Bios and Video Redirection Options, Graphic Card after Server Reboot needs to be set to Integrated Graphic, at least in my case.
My problem stemmed from not having a VGA monitor, since I hade a discrete graphic I hade the integrated/onboard video disabled.
Now my problem is that these two graphics card are fighting for the control of the video redirected stream. I guess i could just remove the discrete graphics card but I would like to figure it out as I plane to use passthrough for virtual machine in the future.

Hi,
I've put my first TX1320 M3 into operation. It's running OmniOS (illumos).
I wanted to access IPMI via ipmitool, which fails because of missing device. I can access it via IP:
I wonder if:
* OmniOS just cannot access via device?
* it is a general problem and also in Linux it won't work?
* I am missing a license or some setting to do so?
Thanks
EDIT: I've missed to install the ipmi driver:

Hi all,
Is anybody here running two NVMe M.2 drives in RAID1 “mirroring” as boot drive on th TX1320 M3?
If yes please share what hardware you are using (pcie adapter etc.)!
I have read that it is possible to boot from one M.2 NVMe in a pcie adapter but I have not seen anybody saying that they have got it working with 2.
Do the TX1320 M3 support PCIe bifurcation?
Or two pcie adapters?

Hi,
currently I'm booting from mirrored SATA devices, but I also want to setup a TX1320 to boot from mirrored NVMe. I assume you want to use some software RAID for this.
First: the bootloader/kernel is always read from one device only. After loading the operating system kernel, it can access the mirrored boot devices as intended. But if things are set up correctly, the second boot device will be used to load bootloader/kernel, if the first device fails.
You can use two M.2->PCIe adapters and put each in it's own slot, e.g. GLOTRENDS PA12 (note: these also have an additional slot for a SATA SSD). As I did not notice anything about PCIe bifurcation in the BIOS, you can not use cheap adapters for two M.2. Instead, if you want to use a single PCIe slot only, you have to buy something with PCIe switch chip (e.g. ASM2812 chip). An example for these type of adapter is GLOTRENDS PA20. These are more expensive an also draw more power (IIRC my measurement was ~7 W for the adapter only).

@Black_Pyramid,
thanks for answering!
Yes I would want to use software RAID1 if it works. Currently I have no NVMe disks or pcie adapters so it would be nice to know before buying if it is going to work or not.
Do you have the parts, do you plan to try this any time soon?

I've changed my mind: I'll probably also use SATA as boot disks in the second TX1320 because I have another two lying around.
I am not sure about RPM controls but you can swap the mandatory chasis fan with a 120mm fan (so its quiet). The CPU heatsink +fan can be swapped to any LGA1151 thats 90ishx90ish mm (or a larger one if you are ok with covering the pcie slotsl
I had a similar issue when a fan is in error or reported “missing”. The fans always go into max rpm when an error is detected on one of the fans.
One of my machines insisted having at least 3 fans, so I added a third 4wire fan and then all fans were quiet again.
I doubt it, those CPU's only support up to 64GB - but try it and report back
Who knows it might just workI think someone tried that and system just reported 64GB, it was one of those merchants who is listing memory compatibility with systems.
Has anyone ever transplanted one of those to a SM chassis?
I run one of these as TNC box (very nice low power) but need some more drives so was considering transplanting to a 216 or 836/846.
2x8 and one x4 slot are perfect for a HBA, 10 (40G) card and single nvme
In the end I assume Id only use the board and the psu (and maybe a fan so it won't complain), right? I dont mind If i cant use screws, its not as if I move those boxes all day long...

Hi forum members,
I am looking for missing Windows 10 drivers for my TX1320 M3, do anybody know if the Windows server drivers work with Windows 10?
In Windows 10, Device Manager is reporting 3 Other devices (lacking drivers)
1. PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller
2. PCI Memory Controller
3. SM Bus Controllers
Have anybody here found working drivers for Windows 10?

Hi forum member,
I have a question regarding slow booting that I hope somebody here on the forum could help me buy answering.
My machine boots fine but it takes a long time, the starting sequence goes like this (when started from FUJITSU ServerView® iRMC S4 Web Server).
1. There is an audible click, like an relay being pulled and the machine springs to life
2. The machine restarts and there is a second audible click
3. I get to the Bios/firmware screen with F2 and F12 options but here the machine waits a long time (feels like 2 minutes)
4. The machine continues to boot into the installed operating system
My questions
1. Why is the machine rebooting while starting up (getting the two audible "relay" clicks)?
2. How do I get the machine not to wait 2 minuts at the bios/firmware screen (where F2 and F12 options are displayed)?
Help would be appreciated as I have looked a loot for a solution but to no avail.
