Hi,

I recently bought an X10SRH-CLNF4 from ebay and i received it in good condition.
But i was responsible (in a bad package) of the the damage occured to the VGA output connector ( i bent it severly).... It's a stupid moment like too many on my life :p

So, when i tested my hardware, a thing that could be anticipated occurs ==> The VGA output didn't work !!! LOL

I connected a small VGA card in the PCIe for try to accomodate to my mistake and it didn't work.

After many attempts, i used the IPMI/BMC connection to open a KVM console and enter into the boot menu for select "OffBoard VGA".

After that i could have video output and all works fine (for what it could be)


It's just a message for share my love about IPMI/KVM stuff that save me in this shot !!!
