PCIe GPU is called PEG
fascinating, never heard of hidden options in BIOS that have to be activated in that way. I will try. Where can I find more information about this? (I mean the hidden options).
UEFITool, ectract the Setup module. extract BIOS Option with IFRextractor.

EndInteresting. I am currently trying to do so but there are lots of unknown GUIDs in the BIOS, when I try to search UEFITool hangs and so I've been able to find the setup file. Is there a guide to this? Never played around with UEFI files before.
Also in your code snipped there are only Internal and External graphics which normally would mean the iGPU of the CPU (in my case a Ryzen 4650G) or an external GPU (in my case the A310). There seems to be no 3rdoption for the BMC's VGA. Or was the snippet just an example?
Edit: Correction - I found where you took the snippet from. I still don't know if that option will help in my case and a guide would still be much appreciated.
Also: how can I find the key combination to access hidden settings on different types of mainboards?
use UEFIToolNE to search and extract.
search for (Text) "Primary Video Adaptor"
example what you can expect. but from MC12-LE0 BIOS.
options may change with BIOS versions.
this is not a feature of all vendors.
but this afaik work for all gigabyte server motherboards.
There's a VGA but I suppose that's actually connected to the Aspeed so you're right - this might just work.
other may have this feature but different key phrase.I also found "MSI" when looking online. Alright, thanks for the Explanation.
@RolloZ170 I tried it - hidden options did show up but changing the Primary Video Adaptor to IGD didn't change anything - whether I enabled the IDG (option basically right above it) or not. Still used the A310...
unfortunaly i can't test anything, i sold my board because i don't need it.
worked for me but was older BIOS and CPU without iGPU.
Just looked again and made sure that the iGPU was actually disabled by the hidden IGD option - it was. Still no output from the Aspeed VGA...
Is that a generic "Trick" that works on many Motherboards and/or related to a specific BIOS Vendor ?
New BMC Firmware is out
New BMC Firmware is out
No. | Type | Issue Description | Note |
12.61.39 | |||
1 | F | [feature] Update new pci devices support | |
2 | F | [defect] Fix the backup/restore function that does not retain alert information. | |
3 | F | [feature] Remove SSH service. | |
4 | B | [redfish][defect] Resolve the NTP does not synchronize between web and Redfish. | |
5 | B | [redfish][defect] Resolve the issue that Redfish cannot patch the NTP server. |
How can I enable Redfish? I would've thought that would be in the BMC. So far I only saw it in the hidden options of the BIOS.
Just a short question: How to insert an ISO Image trough webgui / IPMI fast and correctly? I dont have another server providing iso`s yet. Tried with H5viewer, isnt really working.
