I just tried to piece together whatever I needed from various threads on the unRAID forums. This is a 'For Beginners, By Beginners' effort - there's very little original work here. Replacing that server motherboard and upgrading it with a decent HBA card + 10G NIC would require a lot of money which is not worth it since I can get a T640 for a decent price here + I'm getting enterprise grade hardware. The following are my notes for setting up my unRAID server to sleep to S3 state and then wake up to Magic Packet. Once setup, we should be able to view the Hostname, OS name and version on the systems iDRAC web console.

The only advantage it has is that it's dead silent since I'm using large 120/140mm pwm fans + quiet 5400rpm HDDs. Optionally, we can choose to update the OS hostname, name and version every time the system starts-up with this: systemctl enable exchange-bmc-os-info. My home server is a tower case that fits 15x3.5 inch drives and is built with consumer grade hardware, it failed me more than once, I had my ram slot die twice and now, I only have two ram slots left, and the sata cards/NICS are not reliable too. + I can replace the fans with quieter ones with little modding.Īs for the usage, it's intended to replace my home server which I'm using it for home surveillance, media server (plex), hosting some docker services like mysql DB, gitlab, and running a few virtual machines, so my main point for choosing this server is for the storage capability and the relatively low noise compared to 1u/2u servers. Not all of the drives will spin simultaneously so the drives should not be that noisy. The Supermicro X11 platforms Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is built on the.
The AST2600 is designed to dedicatedly support the PCI-E x1 bus interface. Thanks for the help, this answers my questions. The Supermicro X12 platforms Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is built on the ASPEED AST 2600 controller. Set your fan profile in IPMI to Full speed first, then you can use Ipmitool to adjust the low/high thresholds and also use the Ipmifan plugin in UnRaid to adjust the fan curves.
