EXPIRED HYVE Edge Metal G10 - Epyc 7642 - 250£/offer

[luckylinux]

Anyone got one and tested yet? Struggling to get into it, USB ports don't seem to be working, presume the IPMI default password has changed too.

Ideally you should just boot a Linux (e.g. Debian/Ubuntu) LiveUSB, let it aquire an IP via DHCP, SSH into it, then reconfigure IPMI to use DHCP & reset the IPMI Password.

Alternatively use TFTP/PXE Boot (Network Booting) and you could do the same Thing:

# Configure IPMI to use DHCP IP Addressing
# Supermicro: use channel 1
ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc dhcp

# Fujitsu TX1320 M3: use Channel 2
# ipmitool lan set 2 ipsrc dhcp

# Reboot the BMC
ipmitool bmc reset cold

# Reset ADMIN Password
# Admin is typically User #2
ipmitool user set password 2

# Print LAN Information
ipmitool lan print

EDIT 1: note that the exact "Channel" to use for the various Configurations, User Number, etc, will depend on the Manufacturer (and hopefully it's close to "stock" Tyan).

I set one up yesterday with Proxmox over iPXE, it seems to be running fine so far but have not done much testing other than loading a few VM's.

Only the Internal USB header works which is enough to connect a keyboard and load the OS over iPXE. Once OS is installed you can reset IPMI password for admin user 2, IPMI is set to DHCP by default.

The IPMI is running OpenBMC, KVM works and it seems like you can load media also. There is no Fan Control and BIOS is very limited, overall it seems to be missing features seen on the S8030 board.

Idle in Proxmox is around 72-85W with 2 x 32GB 2933Y DIMMS and 1 NVME, it stays fairly quiet around 15%/4500rpm idle. Highest I've seen in proxmox is around 6500rpm. A quick test running a few VM's using 48 cores total took around 125w from the wall idle.

Is there a fix to the USB on the back? Not played around in BIOS yet. Also I can't get the two LAN Ethernet ports to be detected on Linux.

That Issue sounds familiar to me at least since I saw it on the ASROCK B450D4U-V1LQ5 with an AMD Ryzen 2700X, where rear USB Ports and even onboard VGA (via ASPEED 2510) would NOT work. It seems like some AGESA and BIOS Version incompabitiliy (BIOS was too recent / new, therefore only AMD Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series, e.g. 3700X and 5700X were officially supported, although 5000 Series had lots of Quirks).

Most likely try with a newer or older BIOS Version, that might help.

What do you mean with:

Also I can't get the two LAN Ethernet ports to be detected on Linux.

Try some of these Commands, they should list what Interface is available:

dmesg | grep -E " eno[0-9]+| eth[0-9]+| enp[0-9]+| ens[0-9]+" # Possibly try also other combinations

journalctl -xb --no-pager | grep -E " eno[0-9]+| eth[0-9]+| enp[0-9]+| ens[0-9]+" # Possibly try also other combinations

lshw -class net # requires lshw Package to be installed

ifconfig -a # requires net-tools Package to be installed

ip link

ip addr

What are you running as OS ? Debian Trixie / Proxmox VE 9 ?

EDIT 1: it could also be that the NIC is disabled in BIOS or that there is a Jumper, always check

There is no option to enable the rear USB in BIOS, I think they might be locked down for security reasons as VGA works fine. I'm using the onboard Broadcom 1GBe NICs in proxmox, they need re-enabling in the BIOS.

First of all, does anybody know the exact Part Number of the Motherboard and the matching TYAN Part Number ?

I'm not quite sure where I can find the Manual for this one ...

For rear USB Ports I'd expect at least a Jumper or a BIOS Setting to be honest. Why put the Cost of the Part if you are they aren't going to use it, even though they customized the BIOS & BMC ? Hardware Standardization with TYAN original Motherboard maybe ?

It's branded as a Hyve board in BMC and dmidecode, on boot it is using a Hyve splash screen with no Tyan branding. No info online about this specific board from what I can see.

If anyone gets an upgraded BMC image they can share please do. It's over 5 years old, doesn't seem very good functionally.

There was another Thread about it linked in the 1st Page, it does NOT seem so easy to do if possible at all ...

You guys got any major issues testing these yet? My system keeps crashing I have tried using both

Samsung 16GB 2Rx4 (M393A2G40EB1-CRC0Q) x8
and
SK Hynix RDIMM 2Rx8 (HMAA4GR7AJR8N-XN) x2


After about 10-20 minutes the system just restarts. Tried other disks, CPU is not overheating, no ideas. I have another one of these maybe I got a bad batch will try other tomorrow.

No event logs

If you have the Chance, easiest is probably to use Serial Logging using a "Null Modem" Cable (if you can get it to work, I tried troubleshoot an early boot Kernel Panic but never managed until now) and setup serial Logging continuosly on another PC.

Another possible Alternative could netconsole (also I never managed to get it to work, I always tried using netcat, but some Users reported that a "real" syslog Server is required, because also they couldn't get netconsole to work over netcat, despite some Tutorials showing so).

Did you check Memory Errors and Temperatures ? Is the NIC or other Components possibly overheating ?

I guess we have no chance in Hell for a BIOS Update eh ?

Its this board - S8036GM2NE-LE

Its this board - S8036GM2NE-LE

Is this the EXACT Motherboard or the non-OEM one ? Just to make sure if we could use those BIOSes .

 

[Cruzader]

The -LE model is the board used, with a OEM firmware for hyve.

Alright, so no BIOS and no BMC Firmware Update possible at all, basically.

(the BMC was discussed in another Thread in the 1st Page, but I don't believe the User managed to get a new BMC Firmware uploaded, even with a brand new BIOS Chip)

EDIT 1: unless if the BIOS Chip is "socketed", then we could order a new BIOS Chip and flash the TYAN Firmware on it ?

Same principle for the BMC Chip ... maybe .

Any ideas yet on compatible rails?

You are the one that already received it ...

As I said a few Posts back, aren't there already (at least inner) Rails in Place ? From the Seller Picture it looked so ...

Isn't it (or at least the Inner Rail) already included ?

Yes inner rail is and they are marked "King Slide"
