SUPERMICRO X13SAE-F Naming confusion

[maynardj]

Hi.
I have been waiting for the SuperMicro Motherboard X13SAE-F to reach a price that i am willing to pay. It would seem that this has just happened. But when i i wanted to order, I found that the seller is selling 3 versions of the motherboard, where i had assumed only two versions existed. The Model With IPMI and the one without.

X13SAE-F (MBD-X13SAE-F-O)
X13SAE-F (MBD-X13SAE-F-B)
X13SAE (MBD-X13SAE-B)

I beieve that the -F versions are with IPMI, but why two models including IPMI? The F-B version is a bit more expensive than the F-O. I have been unable to locate any differences between the models. Can anyone enlighten me?
Regards

-O is retail boxed (comes with full accessories), -B is bulk packaged (comes with less accessories). Same motherboard. Sort of how some CPUs are available with or without the cooler included.

-O and -B versions have the same accessories. Bulk package is missing a Quick Reference Guide (and the fancy cardboard package).

-O is OEM

-F with BMC
-B = Bulk package (10 peaces in a box)
-O = single retail package

Sorry, I got them backwards.

For this board specifically, the retail packaging has the QRG and more SATA cables.

Thank you a lot for the answers. I was afraid that it was two different motherboards. As mentioned it has come down in price, but still expensive so best to check before buying. I will get the retail package version. Thanks again.
