  1. ok, this is a long shot but this thread seems pretty active so i figured id ask here. I just received a secondhand E3C246D4U and decided to see if I can boot from BMC via IPMI while i wait for my CPU/RAM to arrive. Supplying power to the motherboard gives me link lights in the IPMI NIC port, as well as a blinking green BMC Health Indicator, but shorting the Power Switch doesnt seem to do anything (No Dr Health or VGA output). I attached case fans as well, to see if they would spin up, but they did not. It seems like IPMI is getting some sort of IP, but it is not showing up in my router as receiving a DHCP address. My thoughts are there are some settings preventing IPMI, which is fine, but my bigger concern is that nothing happens when i try to power it on. Is there a minimum set of hardware needed for this? I assumed I could boot from the BMC/onboard graphics, but perhaps not. Even if BMC is not set up properly, shouldnt I get SOMETHING when i short the PWR Switch header? I will try with cpu/ram when it arrives, but it currently has me wanting to figure this out. Thanks!
