Well dang, I guess I'll have to get in touch with support to check whether mine is supported, and if not I'll either hack together a fan control script or try to track down one of the supported backplanes used so I can test it. Thanks for the heads up!

I can't seem to find this board (CSE-PTJBOD-CB3) for sale anywhere. Is it still something you can buy, or you have to get it in a case?
I bought one of these and set the admin username and password, but I can't login again. There's no way to use a USB boot key to change the IPMI password, so how would I do it?
I'm having issues logging in as any user not `ADMIN`. Has anyone had this issue before?
Looks like my firmware was v1.20. After upgrading it to v1.33, that didn't fix the issue

Apologies for the thread necromancy, but I've got one of these boards and I can't for the life of me get the system to reset the IPMI IP so that I can properly set it up with my network and be able to use the functionality.
I'm able to use the system just fine, and I see the activity lights however holding the power button like the manual says to reset it, or even changing the jumpers hasn't resulted in being able to get the system onto my network. Does anyone have any ideas of things I could try that would allow me to reset the settings, so that I can properly use it?
Thanks.

Both leds are ok?
If I read the manual. I would set jumper JP7 to position 1-2 after removing the power completely. Give the board power, but don't push the power button. This forces IPMI factory mode, IP 192.168.1.99. Connect directly with a laptop set it to a fixed IP like 192.168.1.10, don't know if you need explicitly a network cross cable. Pingable? With the IPMIView tool you can normally login as well into this device when LE1 is blinking. LE2 is steady? If you connect the (cross) network cable the network light is on (orange, I think).

Yeah, the LEDs are OK, with the activity one blinking like it should and the connection one solid green. I did move the jumper over, which I'm pretty sure is JP7, but that didn't seem to do anything. I'll double check that I moved the proper jumper.
My network is already set to 192.168.1.0/24, so I should be able to ping the system but it's coming back as unreachable.
EDIT: Yeah, the jumper was already set to 1-2 rather than 2-3 and it's not letting me connect to the IPMI at all :/.

I've been working to get the same PTJBOD board set up as well -- I now have the IPMI page loading but I can't log in. I tried the user/pass ADMIN/ADMIN that was standard for SuperMicro IPMI before 2019, but no luck. Lowercase didn't work either. I understand that since 2019 SM systems have been shipping with unique passwords printed on a sticker as described in this manual:
www.manualslib.com
I got my JBOD board by itself and there's no password sticker like the one shown in the manual attached to it. There is a sticker on the big power connector at the side of the board that says "IPMI:" followed by a 12-digit hexadecimal number, and I tried using that as the password but it didn't work. It could be that this board had its ADMIN/ADMIN pass changed to a random pass via a firmware update so it's not written anywhere.
From what I've read it sounds like there's a way to reset passwords using the ipmicfg utility, but that's for motherboards that can connect input devices and USB drives. Does anyone know if there's a way to retrieve or change the password for this board? Thanks.

I'm in the same boat - I bought one off of ebay used - no sticker - ADMIN/ADMIN does not work - I had to buy one new from a vendor that of course came with the sticker - I am thinking that they only way to repair this other one is to capture the bios off the chip of a device with a known password and then flash that on to this one some how so I can login to it etc.I've been working to get the same PTJBOD board set up as well -- I now have the IPMI page loading but I can't log in.

I am not sure if anyone attempted this - i haven't and I don't have the tools to do it..
