January 9, 20233 yr Dear Unraid users. I'm setting up my new server. Now that all hardware is reasonably built-in, testing has begun. I use a SuperMicro X12STH-LN4F in combination with an Intel Xeon 2358G. This is my first experience with IPMI and now I read a lot that IPMI takes up the XEON's IGPU. When I run: ls /dev/dri I only see card0 but no renderD128 as I should according to this guide: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/77943-guide-plex-hardware-acceleration-using-intel-quick-sync/ Does this mean I can't use my IGPU for PLEX transcoding? or will this work? Thank you in advance!
January 9, 20233 yr I think you should be able to use igpu for plex. Take a look at the options concerning gpu, onboard gpu,... in the bios.

It uses the VGA output associated with the ASPeed AST BMC chip on the board. There is a discussion in these forums about what owners of Supermico X11 (C246 chipset) did in the BIOS in order to use the iGPU for hardware transcoding in addition to the IPMI video output. I have two ASRock C246 based boards with IPMI and Xeon E-22xx CPUs. One required a special BIOS provided by ASRock and the other supports the iGPU in addition to IPMI in the public BIOS. I have no experience with Supermicro X12 boards but it should be possible to use both based on prior generation support for both. Edited January 9, 20233 yr by Hoopster
January 9, 20233 yr Author i can see that in the bios: VTD / Internal Graphics is disabled. Should i enable this?
January 9, 20233 yr Solution @Oedzesg Here is the discussion I mentioned earlier about getting the iGPU to work on a Supermicro X11 board. Somewhere in there, if I recall correctly, they discuss the proper BIOS setting. Things may have changed on X12 but it is likely similar.
January 9, 20233 yr Author Thnx! It seems that the X12 will be fine here. I have IPMI and at the same time also image via the monitor. ls /dev/dri also gives hope now...
