Happy to report that on the newer X12 series with ASPEED IPMI, you can also use the iGPU alongside the KVM when you set the following options:

 

- "Advanced -> Chipset Configuration -> System Agent (SA) Configuration -> Graphics -> Primary video to PCI (this selects the ASPEED iKVM GPU as primary)

- "Advanced -> Chipset Configuration -> System Agent (SA) Configuration -> Graphic -> Internal Graphics to Enabled (this force enables the iGPU on the Intel CPU)

"Advanced -> Chipset Configuration -> System Agent (SA) Configuration -> Memory Configuration -> Max TOLUD" to "1GB" (2GB can also work, 3GB does not as it will hang in POST code 19)

 

Booting with this config will have all output on the VGA port as well as the KVM console. The iGPU shows up  in the OS and can be used for HW acceleration even without any output connected. The TOLUD RAM setting does not seem to limit the usable video RAM for the i915 driver as I've seen it use well over 2GB with multiple vaapi encoding streams.

 

Can confirm these settings also work for me using a X13SAE-F Bios 3.1 and unraid 6.11.5. Only difference is the "PCI" setting is called "PCH PCI".

 

I've not tried hardware transcoding yet, but the IGFX is exposed to unraid and the BMC VGA console still works.

Found this thread through Google and good that I did.

I'm not even Unraid user but tips here helped me through this endless headache of boot --> reboot --> fail --> repeat - cycle. My Board is Supermicro X11SCA-F as this thread is about. 

As for 8/2024 I am using Bios version 2.5, My BMC version is "20240624_01.74.15". I have Intel iGPU only (i3-9100).

The greatest trick was to make Primary display PCI as I found out from this thread and which wasn't expected since I have nothing in my PCIe (Except HBA and Network Card but no GPU)

I did this but did not tamper with Max TOLUD since I have no idea what that is. Worked with Auto option.

Yes, thats right. I also force all roms and options to UEFI

This I also did.

 

Result:
I got IPMI KVM to work and same time Plex is hardware transcoding with the Intel iGPU.
Thank you everybody!

Can anyone confirm if the X11SCA-F supports PCIe bifurcation on the 8x slots? Ideally, I'd like to use a 2x M.2 adapter in one of these slots.

Hi! I have the same motherboard, but my CPU cooler keeps spinning at max (3000RPM even when only at 25°C)
What can i do so it changes the RPM speed accordingly?
using the intel boxed cooler E98290-001

 

FAN MAX RPM SOLUTION:

Install the NerdTools plugin.

Install ipmitool from the plugin.

In the Tower terminal, enter the following command:

ipmitool raw 0x30 0x45 0x00

This will return a code between 0 and 4. You can see what these values mean at this link: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?resources/supermicro-x9-x10-x11-fan-speed-control.20/

In my case, a return value of 1 indicated "full," which makes sense.

Unfortunately, there's no information on how to switch back to standard mode, but I tried the following:

root@Tower:~# ipmitool raw 0x30 0x45 0x03
50 19 64 50 19 64
root@Tower:~# ipmitool raw 0x30 0x45 0x00
01

As you can see, using 0x03 changed the value to 1 for standard mode. Instantly, my fan speed decreased (from 3000 RPM to 1100 RPM). You can verify this by checking:

ipmitool sensor

There, you'll also find general stats.

I have a strange issue with mine. I followed burg3's settings and have the following:

Primary Display : PCI
Internal Graphics: Enable

 

Transcoding works in Plex, additionally, I'm seeing iKVM output. However, the keyboard/virtual keyboard do not work until the OS has loaded. So I can't get into BIOS from the iKVM. Have any of you guys seen this before?

I have BIOS Version: 1.2

Just picked up this board from ebay and currently setting it up for UNRAID.

Does anyone know how to manually set my 2 x DDR4 Corsair LPX modules to 2933 or 3200mhz?

All I see is the memory freq option and a max speed of 2667mhz, cant see any other OC options for the memory.

Just picked…

That’s because the motherboard doesn’t support higher memory clock speed than 2667 MHz so it will down clock any RAM capable of higher speeds. https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/x11sca-f

Maybe this is hackable somehow, but unlikely.

I don't want to necromance an old thread but did anyone have success in passing through the iGPU to a Windows 10/11 VM? I haven't done anything and it works out of the box for a Ubuntu VM but not when using Windows 10. The GPU gets recognized and I can install drivers but as soon as I try to use the connected monitor with a passed through USB peripherals it just stays black. I don't even see the dreaded Code 43 when I use VNC. But I can't get any output. I have seen a few threads about the P630 and haven't found a fix yet.If anyone has an idea let me know. thanks guys
