  1. I'm on BIOS 1.5 and this still works to me (with ESXI): I installed it and did following: - Remove Quadro P2000 (plug out GPU) - Reset BIOS to default - Primary Display : PCI - Internal Graphics: Enable - Switch off - Build in Quadro P2000 again (Plug in, into PCIe Slot) - Start - IPMI & Quadro P2000 works
  2. Hey there, external monitor on the P2000? If yes, unfortunately not. I don't have an DP cable / adapter here, I only use the GPU for hardware transcoding.
  3. Alright guys, i think i have good news for everyone! There is a new BIOS out (on the official website of SuperMicro) for the X11SCA-F, version 1.4. I installed it and did following: - Remove Quadro P2000 - Reset BIOS to default - Primary Display : PCI - Internal Graphics: Enable - Switch off - Build in Quadro P2000 again - Start - IPMI & Quadro P2000 works So, now i can passthrough my P2000 to my Windows Plex VM AND use at the same time IPMI with all its features. I did several reboots, disconnected the power cord and started again -> everything works! The last times it worked only for the first boot after setting it up as mentioned, now it seems to work always! Have fun, maybe someone can double-check, if i don't have hallucinations. EDIT1: Okay, i ran again into the fault 43 state, but I think I could solve it. Problem is, when also the PCH SLOT2 PCI-E 3.0 X4 is in use, then the GPU always went in state 43 and windows crashed. Now i removed the Intel Quad Port network interface from the Slot2 and it works again. So looks like, that you only can use PCH Slot 6 and PCH Slot 4, but NOT also PCH Slot 2. Another GUESS: nvme M.2 #1 in use could result in the same problem, because it is shared with the PCH Slot 2 (If an M.2 #1 is installed, PCH Slot 2 is deactivated anyway). Maybe not sufficient lanes free or whatever? But now i removed the network interface and it works again. IPMI and the GPU for hardware acceleration.
  4. Ah okay, now i understand. That's neither a nice option. Just it is weird, it definately worked for months in my Supermicro-Server in the way i wanted, like shown in the screenshot above. I hope someone finds the proper settings, to get it working. I spent another half day of trying all the settings and now I am fed up about spending my time in it.
  5. I can't find this option in my BIOS. I checked all the pages, but it doesn't appear anywhere. I get IPMI working, but then the P2000 remains in Error 43 state and doesn't work. 🙄 cpuid settings etc. don't make any change.
  6. Hey together, anybody already got an update on the IPMI & GPU Settings? I have following combination: - X11SCA-F - Xeon E2176G - NVIDIA Quadro P2000 For a long time i had it working in the following way: - Quadro P2000 was passed through to a Windows VM and worked perfectly fine - IPMI worked also absoloutely fine Then i had to reboot my homeserver and suddenly it just beeped and i had to reset the BIOS settings. Since then only following is possible: - IPMI shows, that an external graphic is not supported for iKVM - Passthrough works OR - IPMI works perfectly fine - I can passthrough by ESXI the Quadro P2000, but it is always in fault state 43 in Windows and i cannot use it in any way Tried all night to find again the proper settings, but no chance, even with all the mentions in the thread. SuperMicro Support (which is btw. extremely fast) says: "It’s the limitation of IPMI feature support in BIOS. After adding the external GPU or changing the primary display to iGFX , the onboard VGA will be disabled automatically. As a result, the iKVM feature will be disabled." The weird thing is just, that I am 10000% sure, that it worked! I was working by iKVM on the ESXI network-settings and i was hardware-transcoding in Plex. So, BOTH together was working! Any more ideas, how to get it working again? IPMI & Quadro P2000 together? Cheers Edit: As i told you, it definiately works! Following i did: - Remove Quadro P2000 - Reset BIOS to default - Primary Display : PCI - Internal Graphics: Enable - Switch off - Build in Quadro P2000 again - Start - IPMI & Quadro P2000 works (see the furmark) The problem: One reboot, without changing ANY settings and blackscreen. Not possible anymore to use both together. That's just weird. Ideas, comments?
