I bought an IBM Slicestor server off eBay and it came with a dual LGA2011 motherboard. I'm not going to use it and would like to know if it has any value. The board doesn't have any identifying marks, as far as I can tell. I don't have any CPUs to put into it so I can't boot it up but the IPMI interface works just fine. The web UI is branded IBM and doesn't identify anything about the motherboard except the bios version. The date on the bios is 2016.

It has a SAS controller of some sort plus, given the two heatsinks on the left, might have dual 10GbE. The right heatsink of the two is likely the BMC and the left one is likely an ethernet controller. I would be surprised if a 1GbE controller needed a heatsink but I suppose it's possible.
Anyway, is it worth trying to sell? Is there a market for such things?
Thanks!
