MB is a x7DWU. It has an IPMI slot at the back end of the board. I have a two piece set, board and RJ45 slot adapter. Problem is the cable from the board to the RJ45 board is way too short to reach the back of the case. I've looked at all the SM IPMI boards and none of them look like they would work with this board. The one I have works but I'd hate to have to run the pach cable inside the box. So what am I missing? What IPMI adapter is supposed to work with this board. The SM site doesn't list the board at all under the IPMI adapter matrix but it does have an IPMI slot.

I'm confused. :(

Problem solved. It defaults to NIC 1 if no cable is plugged into the dedicated port. :)
