Do you mind posting which seller you purchased from? I checked sold listings and didn't see any that close to your price point or that show were sold less than list or had offers. Did the seller accept a Best Offer?
I got it from seller ocean-tech. I did best offer and was able to get it for $50, shipping free.
It came with two optional boards: a tyan-branded sas2 controller (giving an additional 2x SFF-8088 to the built-in 2x SFF-8088) and a mellanox cx4 40Gb 1xSPF connection. there are a total of 6xmini-sas3/SFF-8643 ports built-in, all labeled as PCIe_SSD1,2,4,5,6,7. There's also a TPM module installed.
Between all these SAS ports and the two 10GBe NICs, this would make a killer NAS mobo for a little over $100 (I have 2xE5 -2680 v4's and 128GB of ECC DDR4 I paid about another $50 total for).
Unfortunately I'm stuck at the boot screen as reported above and haven't been able to find the "disable BMC" jumper @Fritz was talking about.

I would like to give a huge shoutout to @ribroc . The conversation with him was very smooth and easy, the board arrived very well packed, with all extras (heatsinks, OCP network card, etc), and all of it at the cost of shipping.
I'm still waiting for processors (from a different source), but hopefully I will be able to fire up the board soon.

The board doesn't match the Tyan docs, but I think I found the BMC reset header. I tried switching it, and I think I succeeded in clearing the BMC settings, because now I can't now connect via a web browser. I can connect using Supermicro's IPMIView, but I can't figure out what are the default user name and password.
I can't set the credentials using ipmiutil either, because the board does not boot, and I try to access the BMC to check the fault log.
Do you know any default IPMI credentials used by Hyve or Tyan, which I could try?
EDIT: After several minutes the web login became available, and the IPMITool stopped connecting to the BMC.
I tried "admin" password found by @RolloZ170 in https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...tx-4-installed-149-shipping.34164/post-341104 with typical user names (root, admin, ADMIN, Admin, Administrator), but I still can't get past the login screen
EDIT2: The trick to make IPMIView work is to flip the BMC reset header to "reset", turn on the power supply, and with power on switch the header to "working" position. The board will start booting, and wait for BMC initialization. After a while the BMC will boot enough to obtain the IP address and starts respond to pings. At this point I pressed the Reset button on the board, and on nmap scan port 623 showed up as open. Now IPMIView is able to connect.
Using it I managed to figure out what the most likely correct user name is: for "Administrator" the error message is "Verify error. Please check yout ID and password". For all other usernames the error messages is "Unauthorized name (status code = 0Dh)"
EDIT3: Power cycling the board finishes initialization process. It takes about 15 minutes, but slowly, other services start to appear, including SSH and web interface.
Here is the list of open TCP ports after about an hour since the post-reset power cycle. What is interesting, out of 2 attempts to reset the BMC, first time port 623 disappeared after other services got initialized, and this time remains open, and keeps communicating with IPMIView.
Code:
$ nmap -p 1-65535 -sT 192.168.48.20

If you still haven't solved the issue, try waiting longer. The BMC takes several minutes to initialize after power on. The board doesn't have to be booted, or even powered on for BMC initialization, just leave it connected to power.
These tyans might also be interesting for those interested in these hyves to begin with.
Seller has 12LFF and 8LFF+2SFF versions, scalable version of that node design.

Looks pretty neat. I wonder if the raidcard or whatever has IT mode. I've been looking at ditching my dual 2680v4s for something 12bay scalable to save some power and get more bays.
According to the spec sheet it's just SATA from the Intel chipset: Barebones GT86CB5630 B5630G86CV12
No SAS support is maybe a bummer, but on the other hand, it uses less power.
Its purely sata now yeah, you could probably add a hba for sas if you want tho (not sure if the backplanes support it but would assume so).
Sata only is fairly standard for the scale storage nodes.
No real benefit from going with sas in it but adds a significant consumption increase.

I was going to look at getting one of these boards but this thread has convinced me not to.
OP has valid instructions on IPMI/BMC reset.
Nada on firmware updates. If I order another board, I'll give a shot at crossflashing a Tyan bios image, but the one I have is running as my NAS.
I don't like that the mgmt nic can't be bridged, as far as I know.
Also, does anyone know if pcie bifurcation is supported? I don't have anything available to test, but it'd be nice to have.
did you buy this as a motherboard or a complete chassis?
I think I might be on to a couple things.. still testing... but it looks like for those that purchases the board like I did.. there are several hard coded land mines that need to be addressed that its expecting from the chassis in order to get it to boot
I never did try the M.2 NVME slot on the board, dont have one lying around, but the NVME option in BIOS is black and not editable so I dont know if its because its not populated or if it was a module HYVE had removed from the AMI BIOS
Which leads me to cross flash.. HYVE have some unusual configurations on this board, compared to the TYAN close match.. they use a lot of lanes for the 2 ocp, 6 SSD/u.2 headers, the 2 sata controllers, and the 2x16 PCIe headers.. so I think the design has tapped out the PCI with no room for the NVME header.. and likely a BIOS cross flash would not understand the PCIe layout.
I found the same, that there is one dedicated BMC NIC with no failover or passthrough that I can see, and 1 standard intel i210 NIC as part of the C610 (not C612) chipset.
using IPMI to change any sensor thresh limits is a worthless task as they are all reset to a hard coded value at reboot.. unlike supermicro which will see the fan config at boot, and ASSERT if one of those fans goes low... this board is hard coded for FANS and SENSORS and I have yet to find a way to code that out, there is no fan profile selection like on a Supermicro either... I dont have enough 4 pin fans lying around to fully test every config to find out whether this has a dynamic fan curve that will throttle or if its set as a hardcoded percentage of PWM... I did not see any reaction to the fans by changing PWM offset in BIOS either .. but I think that with the current config I am messing around with .. the BMC is in an ASSERT mode..
I need to find a thermocouple with the right connector that matches the super tiny motherboard header.. but have yet to identity one.. I believe its a standard 10k thermocouple, but the connector is not a typical long straight fan pin type connector but what looks like a very small JST connector like on a drone flight controller..
its oddball shape, and standoff locations will make it a challenge to re-case in something other than the chassis it was designed for.. and due to the narrow 2011 socket it cant use desktop or workstation coolers so a channeled air tunnel need to be constructed.
if I can get it to work it covers a lot of need resources in a converged motherboard.
2 sockets
10 sata
6 U.2
8i SAS
Connectx3 PRO 40gb (thinking of trying a x540 ocp in its place)
1x GigE
but this would have been an easier build if I had the original storage case and cut it up vs trying to get this fish to swim out of water
