May 15, 201214 yr I got a X9SCM from Supermicro-RMA. And yes it boots now, and I can control it over LAN: reading sensors, power cycle, turn off, turn on. It all works now and it's playing nicely with my E3-1240 and 16 GB Kingston RAM. I even installed EXSi 5.0 thanks to Johnms post. I'm still in "Kindergarten"-phase with the board though. Getting aquainted with the BIOS and its quirks. One thing I noticed is that after a reboot it doesn't boot to ESXi while I set it on place 1 in the boot options priority. At least I thought so. After I put my lexar firefly holding unraid is reboots in unraid. ESXi is on a SD-card in a Kingston MobileLite USB reader and now shows as a Boot option: UEFI: Kingstonreader SD/MS0200. At first when it was the only USB- stick it was just Kingstonreader SD/MS0200 without UEFI. The Lexar firefly is listed as UEFI: Lexar JD Firefly 1100 When I press F11 when booting I get both the regular (without UEFI) and the UEFI versions of the USB sticks listed. Is there a difference between regular and UEFI? Which one to choose?
