Notes about Supermicro X11SCA-F
This new Supermicro board is turning out to be a little odd...so I thought I'd start a thread to note interesting information about it that come up as I refine my new deployment.
1> The VGA port is NOT tied to the intel processor, it is tied to a "BMC" video adapter
2> On first boot, I got no video from HDMI or Display port with no addon cards. Had to force the board to use the iGPU by changing from "Auto" to "IGFX" in the bios
3> The fans don't follow the normal
Looks like there is a new BIOS/IPMI Firmware out very recently:
BIOS: 1.1
IPMI: 01.23.04
No real release notes unfortunately.
Currently I'm running unRAID 6.8.0, have a VGA display, IPMI/LOM console, and Quick Sync with my Plex docker all working great.
My BIOS setting are the same as above, except there no longer seems to be a "Primary PCIE" option since I did the BIOS upgrade.
I have "i915.disable_display=1" in syslinux.cfg
